Authorities say Jonathan Toebbe, who has a top-secret clearance, "has passed, and continues to pass, Restricted Data as defined by the Atomic Energy Act . . . to a foreign government . . . with the witting assistance of his spouse, Diana Toebbe."
...
The information Toebbe turned over included details of the design, operations and performance of Virginia-class nuclear submarine reactors, according to court papers. Virginia-class subs carry cruise missiles and incorporate "the latest in stealth, intelligence-gathering, and weapons system technology." Each costs about $3 billion to build.
...
The undercover FBI agent persuaded Toebbe to conduct a "dead drop" of information in late June in West Virginia's Jefferson County after Toebbe received about $10,000 worth of cryptocurrency, according to the charging papers. The FBI later recovered the package and found a 16-gigabyte data card, [which] "was wrapped in plastic and placed between two slices of bread on a half of a peanut butter sandwich."
