'A plotline straight out of The Americans': Suburban New Hampshire husband - who ran popular online craft store with wife and 'blended' into their neighborhood - indicted for 'smuggling nuclear and quantum computing tech to Russia'
2022-12-14
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Alexey Brayman was allegedly part of an international conspiracy to smuggle sensitive American technologies into Russia

  • Prosecutors say the equipment can be used in 'hypersonic and nuclear weapons development'

  • Brayman and six others face charges including conspiracy, money laundering, and bank and wire fraud

  • He and his Russian wife, Daria, were described locally as 'the nicest family'

  • Case has parallels with The Americans, a TV drama about Russian agents who pose as an American couple during the Cold War
