Top the FBI. How Would YOU Catch a Chinese Industrial Spy?

The standard MO seems to be to lure the target to Europe or some country we're friendly with. In this case, the honeypot, the Chinese GE engineer who was lured to China to meet his handler, was confronted by the FBI and agreed to turn double and worked with the FBI to lure Xu, his handler to Europe. "I'm too busy right now and they want me to travel to Europe." did the trick. If he had said to come to the US, it would have been a giveaway.

They had to use the third country route to get that Russian arms dealer they eventually traded for the basketball player stuck in a Russian jail on a cannabis charge I believe.

Sadly, for Xu, not ensuring that his info was accessible only by him turned his organization and attention to detail against him. 😊

213	Thoughts	Agitated [Feeling agitated in the past couple days. Feeling like I am abandoned by the whole world. Work, relationships. and money are not going in the right direction. Starting with work. I have been with ZHA for more than a decade, but ZHA has turned hostile on me and ZHA is now tight with TENG. What a joke. I think, my relationship with him will never be the same again. We will be using each other to our own ends. I will not help him anymore. It’s whatever now. Have a leader like this, what’s the point? Talking about relationship, <> a does not even bother to talk to me. she wouldn‘t even return my text messages. Break up is real. if people don‘t talk about relationship, then what to talk about? She wouldn't even initiate a conversation with me. We will not be the same as we were. Lastly. talk about investment. I lost so much in the stock market I got myself into this financial hole. 1 did it to myself. Sigh, not going to talk about these anymore. Feeling so bad When is the end?]	5/19/2017
