Fed official used Asian dating site, sent nude photos — and wound up blackmailed by alleged Chinese spy
A former senior Federal Reserve official who sought love on an Asian dating site became entangled with an alleged Chinese spy -- then got blackmailed over nude photos, prosecutors allege.
For over a decade, a Chinese Communist Party spy has been deeply embroiled in the business, finances, and private life of former Federal Reserve economist John Harold Rogers, as well as his relationship with a Chinese woman 24 years his junior. The case reads like a spy novel.
John Rogers, former advisor to the Federal Reserve, was convicted for lying to investigators and received a 38-month sentence. An investigation reconstructs how he approached a man that the U.S. authorities consider a Chinese agent and places the focus, in addition, on other alerts about the management of internal information from the central bank.
