The FBI and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) have arrested an engineer and his wife for trying to sell confidential military data.

According to the complaint, for close to a year, Jonathan -- with the assistance of his wife -- attempted to sell Restricted-class data in exchange for cryptocurrency.
Jonathan served as a nuclear engineer for the US Navy.
During his time with the Navy, the 42-year-old worked on the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program and had secured high-level national security clearance.
"Toebbe worked with and had access to information concerning naval nuclear propulsion including information related to military sensitive design elements, operating parameters, and performance characteristics of the reactors for nuclear-powered warships," US prosecutors say.
