Yeah... I wonder what his background is like? What does it take to be interviewed by the CIA anyway?

Glenn Duffie Shriver, 28, was arraigned Thursday in a Detroit federal courtroom and is to be transferred to Virginia for further court hearings.
The alleged cover-up of involvement with a foreign government occurred there between Feb. 11 and Feb. 19, a criminal indictment states.
Shriver faces five counts of making false statements. If convicted, he could be sentenced to a maximum of five years in prison.
Court documents do not indicate what type of work Shriver was applying for, nor is it clear what services he performed for the People's Republic of China.
Federal prosecutors allege he had repeated meetings with foreign intelligence officers and had traveled to China in 2007. Records show he received $70,000 in cash from that country's government.
His application for CIA work either omitted or denied the had ever been affiliated with other intelligence services, records show.

NO updates other than that. There probably won't be any updates on this care on the news for a long time, if ever. Best to just contact the local news outlet there and ask for a follow-up.


So, according to the US government, he did 8 days of work for the Chinese government... Sorry, I am still skeptical of this whole accusation.

Now, the story makes a lot more sense than it did before. He had not yet done any real spying, but clearly had the intent to do so.

CIA field agents are freaking anal- they feel they are above everyone else and they treat everyone else like crap.
There's a field office a few buildings down from my office and I run into these a-holes on a regular basis during lunch.
Once are always going around acting suspicious and paranoid of everything.

I understand they have a very important and difficult job to do, but they don't have to act like ignorant, arrogant cowboys.

Dude shoulda set himself up to be a double agent.

Admitted up front that he had received 70,000 on the pretenseof spying for China, and claim that his real goal was to have been utilized as a super secret intelligence bluffer.

Seeing as his crime was lying, and not actually receiving the money, the worst that could happen would be to be turned down or maybe just laughed at for his ridiculous dreams of grandeur?

Woulda been wicked cool, and probably more lucrative. Was he really that loyal to China anyways? It seems like it was about the money.

And how can I convince the Chinese govt. that I'm going to spy for them so they can give me a $70,000 advance? Are they gonna hunt me down if I fail to follow through with whatever I promise?

Agreed, that was his only hope. He seems to be either naive or stupid. I wonder what happened to the 70 K.
