Two men were arrested on suspicions they illegally acquired and sold thousands of U.S. Air Force technical orders and aerospace data to domestic and foreign customers for a profit.
Law enforcement officials arrested Sarfraz Yousuf, 43, of Miramar, Florida, and Marc Chavez, 53, of Trabuco Canyon, California, over their alleged involvement in the scheme, the Department of Justice announced Wednesday. Each was charged with one count of theft of government property.
According to an affidavit provided to Military.com, the men each ran separate businesses out of their homes. Yousuf obtained and sold 1,875 stolen technical orders -- documents detailing operations, maintenance and schematics of equipment -- to Chavez between 2015 and 2020 in exchange for at least $132,280, according to a filing by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Santa Ana, California.
In one instance in June 2020, Yousuf, who worked for Summit Aerospace, sold 34 Air Force technical orders to Chavez, including one containing overhaul instructions related to a "Rate Gyro Assembly Flight Control" for $2,170, the affidavit states. The assembly is part of a flight control system that stabilizes an aircraft's altitude in the air.

They should have changed their last names to ‘Biden’ back on November 4, 2020. Cops would have left Sarfraz Biden and Marc Biden alone.
Their adopted country had little value to them.
So what was the purpose of stealing this information, and who was the ultimate recipient? Who was going to benefit?
Who generally benefits from theft of technology? China.
So much for background checks.
For the sheep the message is: Don't steal, the Government don't like the competition.

An Islamist and a Mexican walk into a Bar...
Yet Mrs. Bill Clinton is still free after giving the Russians and others free access to THOUSANDS of Secret and Top Secret emails.

A rate gyro is very old technology. Hell, Lindburgh may have had one on the Spirit of St. Louis although he didn't have autopilot.
Still, I guess it's illegal to have the documents.
