I couldn’t say whether this was state sponsored espionage or something else. I don’t see any indicators pointing one way or the other.

I see a lot of people mentioning financial motivation, and that decisions made in the room “moves markets”. Ugh, perhaps true…and I have something to tell ya guys - economic espionage is a thing.

It sounds like he didn’t have great placement and access. I mean sort of, but not really. Janitors are much better.

Assuming he was, he could of course gone rogue to impress his handler. If directed by his handler, they aren’t very skilled. Any of that could be true.

I’m reminded of the idiot DIA officer that mishandled his own phone while being questioned and dumped incriminating evidence to them right on camera in the interrogation room. Geniuses.
