Alexander Yuk Ching Ma—a naturalized U.S. citizen—was arrested last week accused of working for Chinese intelligence for a decade.
When Ma moved to Hawaii, he applied to work for the FBI, according to the DOJ"in order to once again gain access to classified U.S. government information which he could in turn provide to his [Chinese] handlers."
Chinese officials would provide Ma with cash and other gifts, including a new set of golf clubs. On his return to Hawaii from one Shanghai trip in 2006, Ma was searched by Customs and Border Protection agents and found to be carrying $20,000 in cash plus his new golf clubs, court documents say. Two days before his arrest, Ma met with an undercover FBI agent and accepted more money for his past espionage, again offering to continue working for Chinese intelligence. He told the agent he wanted"the motherland" to succeed, the DOJ said, though allegedly said he only wanted to work for China again after the COVID-19 pandemic had passed.
