      @tombattraw1410 2 роки тому +19

      I can't speak for government employees, but military have very little excuse for going into crippling debt while on active duty. Their pay isn't great, but it includes a healthy amount for discretionary spending plus they get dedicated tax-free allotments for housing, food, and, if necessary, high cost of living. All unusual expenses related to work are automatically covered, they have the best health insurance in America, and disasters will often be covered for them by various military relief organizations. You have to be a wild edge case or a real financial screwup to end up broke as military. It doesn't mean they live like kings, and, due to government shutdowns and the government's general failure to process paperwork in a reasonable timeframe, military members do need to have considerably more in the bank than most, but it's almost guaranteed to be fine.

    I've got a better (similar) story for you.
    About 2 years ago, my unit had a soldier get arrested for terrorism charges. His name was Cole Bridges. Here's what happened to the best of my recollection.
    When he was a civilian before joining the Army, he converted to Islam. He began closely following ISIS videos and the like, which tipped off his parents to something being up. One or both of his parents were also in the military, and somehow the DHS got tipped off and started investigating him. He hadn't actually committed any crimes at this point, but he joined the Army to try and get the feds off him. This seemed to work for awhile, but while we were in Europe for Defender 20/Combined Resolve XIV, he came into contact with an "ISIS Recruiter" over the clearnet. He began sending them videos on how to disassemble American weapons, information on the Bradley Fighting Vehicle (he was a dismount at the time), and information on how the Cavalry Scouts operate. This "Recruiter" also requested a video of him pledging allegiance to ISIS, which he gladly provided. At some point during all this, the feds begin talking to him about whatever atrocities he could commit, and he gets the idea that he's going to bomb the 9/11 Memorial in NYC. We return to the United States in December of 2020, and at the first accountability formation we have, black vans pull up and men in suits drag him away.
    At no point in his little adventure did he stop to think that he should maybe not be supplying videos to alleged terrorists over the clearnet (also with his face visible in at least 1), and I can only thank God that the man was so profoundly stupid that he got caught immediately. He was a white guy walking around in a stereotypical Middle-Eastern getup for the majority of our Europe rotation, so he didn't even try to blend in. I have a picture of him dressed up as a camel for Halloween in Germany, and it's hilarious (it was on USAWTF as well).

      easy, encrypt the information into base 64 and write it to a blockchain transaction, it'll be there for quite a while so all he'll have to do is wait for a bit until he can follow the information online from the fsb's website through drop phones purchased during a business trip in another city for cash, and which are never turned on in his home state or have any of his unrelated social data attached to them, then just provide them with the transaction id and they can pull them up anywhere they can access the blockchain. for added security, give the cash to some homeless guy and have him buy the phones for you so you never even entered the store where they were sold.
      alternatively, print them out using a completely offline printer, removing the classified headings which could serve for easy identification if some TSA guy gets suspicious, then take them in his briefcase on a business trip overseas and visit their embassy there i guess. its overcomplicated, but he could also run an analysis of various books and the information to be transported, and find a book which when passed through a decryption script, either in part or in full, generates the information. then all he'd have to do is put it on an anonymously created github acct and post links to it on some russian programming websites, probably theres some keywords he could include to ensure it is found by their intelligence guys but i have no idea what those would be XD
      i suppose another more cleartext way to conceal the documents could be to format them so that they appear to be some sort of medical forms or something which he then fills out as well, maybe even print out a mad libs book and then rip the cover off an actual one and bind it to the one with the concealed information assuming he would have the skills to do that in the privacy of his house or local creative space, maybe even translate it all into spanish or something first lol
      for super secret concealment, save it in a video file for some porn or other and upload it to some site somewhere, then again, just put the link on the back of his business card when he goes to an interview for a position in some business suspected or confirmed to have strong russian ties
