[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the country is probably Australia.  A news article mentioned that the wife was interested in moving to Australia and had looked for jobs there.

Australia already has a number of Australian agents within the FBI working on a sting where they soldbsuspects (drug dealers, I think but can’t remember) special mobile phones that had spyware. It was very successful.  I think that meant that when the offer was received, Australia would have already had a trusted relationship with the FBI to turn over the material and cooperate in a sting. Plus, this would explain the recent Australian nuclear sub technology deal which screwed over the French-Australia sub deal. Basically, when the Australians got the nuclear sub info from the would be spy, they were in the position of saying to the US - we could have kept this and gotten all this nuclear capability from a spy or you can give it to us and announce an alliance out of it. The French will be mad initially but once they realize the US and Australia were really forced into the deal unexpectedly by the spy, it won’t seem like such a knife in the back to the French.

Also, the Australian Embassy has a main site on Dupont circle which is under construction and another office location on 17th.

The US probs also has an extradition treaty with Australia, thus the third country evacuation reference.

That’s my theory. [/quote]

Solid theory, but I think this quote rules it out.

The court papers say that in December 2020, an FBI official received a package that had been sent to the foreign country containing U.S. Navy documents, a letter and instructions for how to conduct encrypted communications with the person offering the information.

The letter in the package said: [b]“I apologize for this poor translation into your language.[/b] Please forward this letter to your military intelligence agency. I believe this information will be of great value to your nation. This is not a hoax.”[/quote]
