Woman sentenced for U.S. military sales to China | Reuters

Jan 28 (Reuters) - A woman who managed a Massachusetts electronics company was sentenced on Friday to three years in prison for conspiring over 10 years to export U.S. military equipment to China, U.S. authorities said. Wei procured export-restricted equipment from U.S. suppliers and exported them to China through Hong Kong. The equipment is used in electronic warfare, military radar, fire control, military guidance and control equipment, missile systems, and satellite communications, the DOJ said.

A whole 3 years, huh?

You know who else got 3 years?

She should have gotten at least life in prison. If she did something like that 50 years ago, she would have gotten death.

I would consider that treason.
3 years ? There's probably early release tucked in there somewhere too.

In federal prisons they do 85% of the time.
