U.S. Attorney Neal H. McBride announced a plea agreement Thursday with former NASA contractor Bo Jiang in which Jiang accepted being deported from the U.S. within 48 hours.
Jiang also agreed to plead guilty to one criminal count of misusing government equipment, including a NASA laptop, to take “extensive proprietary and confidential information,” including programming source codes, “to operate a functioning, real time, image enhancement system for use in aircraft” to China in 2012.
