Lee who is also known as Zhen Chang Li, has been arrested for having classified information in his possession. What is odd about that is the length of time that has been known to the government. See the Affidavit at https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1026646/download. - he was discovered in 2012. Speculation in press sources was that he was the reason some Chinese sources of information ended up dead. We will never know the truth of that. China wants the world to believe that it killed these people to discourage anyone else from providing information to any intelligence service. That doesn’t mean that is what really happened.
In an article today, the Wall Street Journal says Lee worked for Christie’s, which would have given him a good reason to move around in the world. To quote a passage, “Mr. Lee was a manager of a small team at providing mainly oversight and advice with regard to employee and property protection, according to another person familiar with the situation.”. That is a usual euphemism for security of some type.
