    Former CIA officer gets 20 years in prison for selling secrets to China

    Former CIA officer Kevin Mallory was sentenced to 20 years in prison Friday.

    Mallory, 62, was convicted last year of providing his Chinese handlers with classified information in exchange for $25,000.




    The Virginia man, a fluent Mandarin Chinese speaker, spent two decades working in U.S. intelligence, first as a covert case officer for the CIA and later as an intelligence officer for the Defense Intelligence Agency.


    He then worked as a CIA contractor until 2012, but lost his top secret security clearance after he improperly disclosed classified information, according to court records. Since 2012, he ran his own consulting firm, and was struggling financially when he was contacted on business networking service LinkedIn in 2017 by a Chinese intelligence officer who claimed to be a think tank representative.


    Mallory responded to the LinkedIn message and traveled twice to China, where his handlers gave him a Samsung phone that doubled as a covert communications device.

    He faced life in prison. But considering that he is 62, 20 years is probably life for him.

    Good.
