(29,199 posts)5. he was in contact with someone who is now suspected of being a chinese spy
after the FBI informed him that the person might be a Chinese spy, he had no further contact with them and disclosed the nature of his previous contacts.
And you have to wonder why Fux Youz hasn't talked about this:
