Chinese civil servant Wang sentenced to life imprisonment for selling state secrets to foreign agents to cover losses from cryptocurrency investments. Wang, who accumulated significant debts, sought side jobs on an online forum, which attracted the attention of foreign agents.
He initially provided a small portion of information but soon began leaking more sensitive data, receiving over 1 million yuan in cryptocurrency. The court found him guilty of espionage and deprived him of all political rights. The ministry noted that his department did not ensure an adequate level of confidentiality, contributing to the information leak.
