Rah! Not only American pilots do this, the Canadians and Australians have been caught as well.
“the US State Department emailed Duggan as early as 2008 to tell him he needed to apply for written authorisation to provide training to a foreign air force.”
Hmm… so he’s had this on his mind for a while now >

ok, so authorities did check upon him, but he didnt listen. >

Maybe he's training them wrong. >

Wimp lo, again with the squeaky shoes? >

I'm bleeding, making me the victor >

Face to fist style, how'd you like it? >

If you have an ass, I'll kick it! >

My nipples look like milk duds! >

I'm not wealthy but 100k is not enough money. I imagine he was making more. Maybe property, house, car, pension. They can only legally find the 100k and incriminate him on. Idk just a thought. >

My cousin (officer in the US Navy) got almost a million dollars to resign to train new pilots.
It costs a fortune to train a single pilot and good pilots and trainers aren't easy to come by.
100k is a pittance for that kind of work. >

100k mighta just been the signing bonus >

And what can be legally known and proven at this time. There are plenty of ways the CCP could pay him more and hide it. And he very much seems like the type who would not want to pay taxes. >

I, for one, contend that the mercenary who got high-end training from one country and then turned around and sold that knowledge to a competitor state despite being told to specifically not do that, is probably a good guy who is more concerned with the welfare of society than he is with personal gain. >

Let me introduce you to Erik Prince, owner of a mercenary army called Blackwater in the US. The Blackwater founder has cut a lucrative security-training deal with China.

More recently, however, he has said that his business in China “is not a patriotic endeavor”; rather, it is an effort “to build a great business and make some money doing it.”

Check out the article. It's an interesting read. >

Yes, but see, that's Blackwater. And so, it's ok. >

Didn't they rebrand to Akademy after they did some wartime no-nos? >

They renamed to Xe, then Academi, then got bought by Triple Canopy before being moved under their parent company, Constellis. >

Well that is a rabbit hole >

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 89%. (I'm a bot)


The US government has accused the former marine pilot Daniel Duggan of receiving more than $100,000 to teach Chinese aviators how to land on aircraft carriers.
The indictment alleges Duggan and another eight unnamed co-conspirators were involved in providing military services to Chinese pilots, including a former US Navy officer.
Duggan's arrest coincided with warnings from Australian and British authorities over the practice of former military pilots being offered lucrative contracts to train pilots in China.

$100k? That's it? >

I get paid 100,000 a year to train Navy personnel on ships. 100,000 for such specialist training on fighter jet aircraft in a foreign country and one that is regarded as the enemy is a bargain for China. Surely this is a fee he can get in the US or other allied nation. >

The dude is clearly an idiot. He wrote "he hoped it'd set up his children for life." And he negotiated his own contract. $100k setting up kids for life? Clearly not the sharpest screw driver in the tool shed. >


Clearly not the sharpest
