The Justice Department said Monday that it has arrested a former Boeing Co. engineer on charges that he stole Boeing trade secrets related to several aerospace programs -- including the Space Shuttle -- on behalf of the Peoples Republic of China.
The department said the arrest of 72-year-old Dongfan "Greg" Chung, of Orange, Calif. follows his indictment on eight counts of economic espionage and acting as an unregistered foreign agent for China.

I love your rope. Unfortunately, the “Fall of the West” and America, was started when we stopped punishing traitors and spies. The second pillar to fall was the acceptance of illegal immigrants into the US by both Parties of the United States.
These above are seminal events convincing me that the Fall of the US has indeed started. Perhaps the 3rd pillar will be the destruction of the conservative side of the 2 Party system.
“Pa dum pum.”
I’ve got a second show at 9. Don’t forget the tip your servers!
The safety and security of my country or one of these women, a man has to think about that.
The stolen secrets on the outdated shuttle info will be updated with lead paint.
Apparently somebody does, because we arrested this one.
My first reaction to the title is ‘the Space Shuttle still has secrets?’

I’ve got my dad’s owners manual for his push-button automatic transmission 1963 Plymouth Fury 3 on Craig’s List right now, but thats different I guess.
It appears they are just bringing the charges that are easiest to prove in a civilian court against him, and figuring that at his advanced age they will effectively produce a life sentence.
As you suggested, I suspect that they took the death penalty off of the table in return for his cooperation. However, if they don't charge him with those crimes now, they can still do so in the future if he doesn't cooperate fully.
However, a death penalty case would result in a long, expensive, drawn-out trial, and the guy would likely die in prison anyway before he exhausted his appeals, so it would be expensive, time consuming, and pointless.
And they're just putting 2 + 2 together NOW??? Good to know our Justice Dept is on top of things!!
No kidding.
Betcha the Chinese now have the only copy of the original recipe for effective, non-shedding fuel tank foam insulation.
He's been doing this for 30 years, so it isn't inconcievable it was new technology when he stole/sold it.
