That country was not named in the court documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toebbe, 42, was arrested in West Virginia on Saturday along with his 45-year-old wife, Diana, after he had placed a removable memory card at a prearranged \u201cdead drop\u201d in Jefferson County, according to the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It wasn\u2019t immediately clear whether either Toebbe had a lawyer. The Toebbes are from Annapolis, Maryland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The FBI says the scheme began in April 2020 when Jonathan Toebbe \u2014 a U.S. government employee since 2012 \u2014 sent a package of Navy documents to a foreign government and said he was interested in selling operations manuals, performance reports and other sensitive information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Authorities say he also provided instructions for how to continue to the furtive relationship, with a letter that said: \u201cI apologize for this poor translation into your language. Please forward this letter to your military intelligence agency. I believe this information will be of great value to your nation. This is not a hoax.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The FBI\u2019s legal office in the foreign country received the package, which had a return address of Pittsburgh, last December. That led to a monthslong undercover operation in which an agent posing as a representative of the foreign government offered to pay thousands of dollars in cryptocurrency for the information Toebbe was offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In June, the FBI says, the undercover agent sent $10,000 in cryptocurrency to Toebbe, describing it as a \u201csign of good faith and trust.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the operation, authorities say, the FBI observed the Toebbes arrive on multiple occasions at agreed-upon locations for the exchange, concealing an SD card between two slices of bread on a half of a peanut butter sandwich in one instance and in a chewing gum package in another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The complaint alleges violations of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/laws-regulations\/summary-atomic-energy-act\" target=\"_blank\">Atomic Energy Act<\/a>, which makes it a crime to disclose information about atomic weapons or nuclear materials with the intent of harming the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Toebbes are expected to have their initial court appearances Tuesday in Martinsburg, West Virginia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Navy nuclear engineer with access to military secrets has been charged with trying to pass
