A former FBI employee in New York was sentenced to two years in prison on Friday after admitting that he illegally acted at the direction of a Chinese official to gather sensitive information.
Kun Shan Chun, also known as Joey Chun, was also ordered by U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero in Manhattan to pay $10,000 after pleading guilty in August to having illegally acted as an agent of a foreign government.
"I'm so sorry," a tearful Chun said in court. "I take full responsibility."
Chun, a U.S. citizen who was born in China, was arrested in March in connection with what prosecutors called a duplicitous betrayal of the FBI, which had employed him in its New York field office since 1997.
Prosecutors said that beginning in 2005, Chinese individuals claiming to be affiliated with a China-based printer products manufacturer called Zhuhai Kolion Technology Company Ltd solicited an investment from one of Chun's parents.
Chun, 47, first met purported Kolion associates during a 2005 trip, and met them abroad at several other times, eventually meeting a Chinese official who asked him about the FBI and surveillance practices and targets, prosecutors said.
In turn, Chun provided the official an FBI organizational chart and photographs related to surveillance technologies, prosecutors said.
In exchange, Chun's associates paid for him to go on international trips, and they sometimes also paid for prostitutes for him while he was abroad, prosecutors said.

that explains the million government worker data breach. And people want Ed Snowden dead.
Wonderful!
The FBI is infiltrated by Chinese agents.
BTW, the infamous Tommy Huang, once had an FBI agent as an advisor.
Hmmmmm....Donald Trump is right!
Kick China in the ass.
No wonder Congress member Grace Meng (daughter of former Assemblyman Jimmy Meng....convicted of carrying an 80 grand bribe in a fruit basket to buy a judge) did not attend Trump's inauguration.
She should question Trump's integrity with a crooked family like hers?
I am sorry that I fell for the baloney and voted Democrat. I should have voted for Trump.
Maybe he will clean up the SOP procedures of Washington politics.
BTW....how long will you dumb voters allow Grace Meng warm a seat in Congress. Flush this phony out!
She doesn't represent all of us, just her own.
Ah, so. The inscrutable Orientals.
I'll bet that Flushing is spy central.
Maybe he'll get butt buggered or shanked by some skin heads.
In my opinion, when anybody associated with government or law enforcement gets convicted, the sentence should be trippled. They are supposed to be setting an example for our children.
This bastard is getting off light.
Uh....maybe he gave up some other spies in exchange for a light sentence.
Too bad he just got sentenced. Obama can't pardon him anymore!
Let them all go free!
I've seen with my own eyes Chinese scouts dressing the same surveying and taking pictures of faucets and kitchen and bath fixtures in high end showrooms in Manhattan. They are very open about it until the showroom manager throw them out.
Sneaky little basterds. Keep allowing them visas freely so they can keep on copying every piece of technology. They have no patents in that country since they don't invent anything from about a thousand years ago.
one wonders who enabled "THE TRAITOR" ,Jonathon Pollard,A paid spy for Israel/u.s.s.r.,TO BE RELEASED FROM A LIFE SENTENCE IN fED. pRISON IN 2016,(Obama)?
SEE nEW York mAG."the traitor"1980'S
Obama is gone. Get yourself a real life aside from Obama criticism....or do you intend to make that a career?
Only the maladjusted continue to beat a dead horse. See a shrink...soon!
Trump is right about China dumping shit products on us.
But then, it is stores like Walmart who keep them in business. That chain was one of the biggest importers of Chinese crap.
Martha Stewart who champions buying America. All of her lines are manufactured in China.
China has as much regard for manufacturing as they do for human rights.
"I've seen with my own eyes Chinese scouts dressing the same surveying and taking pictures of faucets and kitchen and bath fixtures in high end showrooms in Manhattan. They are very open about it until the showroom manager throw them out."
These shady immoral tactics has become a business model with Chinese tech.

Thank former scumbag Congressman Gary Ackerman for selling out Flushing to Tommy Huang along with Donald Manes.
CB7 just let it all happen. Manes put Huang on CB7. And nobody wanted to offend the Chinese Taiwanese because they supported all of the local politicians' campaigns. Huang even led a CB7 junket to Taipei.
Japan did the same thing with the camera and electronics industries , not to mention automobiles.
They copied America. Now, despite their attempt at economic empire, they are down in the dirt.
China will fall economically too.
Japan was too small to attain the critical mass they needed.
China is too large and unwieldy which makes it difficult for them to continue to control their huge masses.
To small or too big is fatal. Being just the right size provides optimum results.
China will break up. It is already fragmented.
Beware Russia under Putin. Beware Trump's friendship with this former KGB operative.
We live in interesting times
Face facts. Broadway Flushing will become the upscale Chinese Malba.
And there is little that can be done. Be thankful that the nabe is not a ghetto.
Protect your Rickert Finlay deed restrictions. That is all you have in the end.
DOB will not eagerly enforce anything. Paul Vallone will do as little as possible.
Bless you BFHA for doing a great job all these years.
We're it not for you, this fine nabe would have been over run decades ago.
Keep the faith. Keep on kicking ass!
Now you have a great president.
That last one was a career advancing wimp.
Belay any negativism. BFHA, in the parting words of President Obama, "YES YOU CAN"!
'Obama is gone. Get yourself a real life aside from Obama criticism....or do you intend to make that a career?
Only the maladjusted continue to beat a dead horse. See a shrink...soon!'
Seriously, are you kidding?
Obama's mantra for six years was to blame GWBush for everything! The only thing that stopped him was HRC running (she couldn't blame him and they had to talk up what a good job BHO was doing).
If GW left you with a stable full of shit in the form of a broken economy, I think Obama was right to complain.
However, Obama pulled us out of the subprime collapse and whacked Osama Bin Laden for good measure.
What do you do besides complain, fella?
O will not go away ever.He is a Marxist.muslim community organizer with residence in the D.C.suburbs. He will instigate four years of anti-Trump( A Patriot)demonization using his UNHINGED CRAZIES/MEDIA COMPLEX. But the PATRIOTS have the votes in Congress & will have a majority in SCOTUS(50YRS.)
Keep the course Pres. Trump -GO NAVY!!!!God Bless The U.S.A.
You Dump supporter are idiotic. You do know that Dump has connections to the Russian mob and some underworld connection right? Why else is he so complimentary of Russia. He does that only when he is sometimes scare of them or has a vast interest in there.
Dump like all other politicians are the same doing illegal sht you can't see. He is no better than Hillary or Meng or whoever.
