Mak, Mallory, Shing Li--separately indicted on spying for Beijing

5-12-14     The agents began photographing the documents, taking care to put them back exactly as they had been.  Among the stacks were manuals and designs for power systems on U.S. Navy ships and concepts for new naval technologies under development.  One set of documents contained information about the Virginia-class submarines, describing ways to cloak submarine propellers and fire anti-aircraft weapons underwater.  The agents took pictures of other materials: tax returns, travel documents, and an address book listing Mak’s contacts, including several other engineers of Chinese origin living in California.  This is where the F.B.I. first came across the name Greg Chung. …
  Then one day in February 2005 Jessie Murray, an agent who spoke Mandarin, found several torn-up bits of paper with Chinese text while going through Chi and Rebecca’s trash.  She put them in a Ziploc bag and brought them to the office.
  The agents assembled the contents of the bag like a jigsaw puzzle.  Patched together, the pieces constituted two documents, one handwritten and the other machine-printed.  Gunnar Newquist, an investigator assigned to the case by the N.C.I.S., spotted an English phrase at the bottom of the handwritten sheet.  “DDX,” he said, reading it aloud.  “That’s a Navy destroyer.”  The handwritten text turned out to be a list of naval technologies and programs:  submarine propulsion networks; systems for defending against nuclear, chemical, and biological attacks; and others.  On the printed sheet were instructions about going to conferences to collect information.  Gaylord was certain that the two documents were tasking lists from Chinese intelligence.
…on a Sunday morning, agents observed Mak  sitting at the table, inserting CDs into a laptop and talking to Rebecca about the information that he was copying.  All of it related to the Navy, including a paper about developing a quieter motor for submarines, a project that Mak was in charge of at Power Paragon.
