The spy who flipped on me! US Navy engineer TURNS on his wife and admits trying to sell nuclear submarine secrets to a 'friendly country' while she continues to DENY the charges

Jonathan Toebbe, 43, pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to communicate restricted data to a foreign government on Monday

The foreign government, believed to be France, immediately informed the FBI, which organized a sting

The plea came after he and his wife, Diana, were arrested and charged in October for selling classified information on submarines to a foreign nation

In exchange, the foreign government offered the couple thousands of dollars in cryptocurrency

Now, the former US Navy engineer will cooperate with the US government as part of his plea deal, or face between 12 and 18 years in prison

#1 He sold out his country, his coworkers and his wife. Sounds like a guy with strong character and integrity.

#2 He "believes in himself." That's the core tenet of most self-improvement ~~scams~~ seminars and books.

#3 Let's see now.
He's the guy w1th TS access who actually stole information to sell. She's a middle school teacher who was in charge of making the dead drops.
So of course he gets the deal.

#5 Shoot spies and traitors and this sort of thing should slow down. I think Mr Toebbe or his wife should be made an example of, for the good of the nation.

#6 So of course he gets the deal.

The Prisoners Dilemma - he who flips first wins. But not as much as if everyone kept their mouth shut. So much for honor among thieves.
