Former Fed Official Gets Prison Time in China Data Case
John Harold Rogers, a former senior adviser for the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, was sentenced to 38 months in prison for lying to federal investigators about sharing confidential Fed data with Chinese intelligence operatives, multiple outlets reported. Rogers, 64, was convicted at trial on February 3 of making false statements to investigators, though he was acquitted of a conspiracy to commit economic espionage charge. Michael E. Horowitz, inspector general for the Fed's Board of Governors and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, said Rogers deliberately lied to investigators to conceal sharing restricted, non-public Fed information with Chinese intelligence agents.
