A former Federal Reserve insider became entangled with a man US officials identify as a Chinese intelligence operative, was later blackmailed with his own nude photos, and was jailed this year for lying to investigators.
John Harold Rogers, 64, a former senior adviser in the Fed's Division of International Finance, was sentenced on 15 July to 38 months in federal prison. A jury had already acquitted him of conspiring to commit economic espionage, convicting him only of lying to investigators about what he passed to his Chinese contacts.
