From May 2022 until March 2024, he collaborated with someone he believed was tied to the Chinese government, sharing dozens of classified documents in exchange for around $42,000. These documents included operational orders related to NATO, lessons from the Ukraine conflict, and technical manuals for military aircraft and systems. His activities posed significant national security risks, highlighting vulnerabilities in military information security.
Schultz engaged in an ongoing conspiracy to provide dozens of sensitive US military documents containing technical information directly to a foreign national in China.
