And he was ratted out by another contractor. Probably the radio vendor. It would not be the first time. Unless he had access to the encryption key management facility, the radios would hear nothing encrypted. Even more doubtful any FBI commos were compromised. I would guess the "equipment" was actually software valued at $90K. Very similar thing happened in Canada a couple years ago. The target was the communications manager for a major city. He had some software on a USB, also ratted out by a co worker. The major vendor pressed charges. To date no criminal indictment.
