Chinese spy given 15-year prison sentence

Dongfan (Greg) Chung, a stress analyst at Boeing (and Rockwell International, later acquired by Boeing) who had high-level security clearance, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for stealing over 300,000 pages of sensitive and proprietary information from Boeing and allegedly passing them to China.  The pages he stole included data on the U.S. Space Shuttle, the Delta IV booster rocket, and the C-17 Globemaster III.  Chung becomes the first defendant to be tried under the economic espionage provisions of the United States' Economic Espionage Act (passed by Congress in 1996), and will most likely serve as a precedent for future espionage cases.
