A former senior adviser to the U.S. Federal Reserve was sentenced to 38 months in federal prison for making false statements to investigators about sharing restricted information related to the central bank with Chinese intelligence operatives, the Justice Department said on Wednesday.
John Harold Rogers, 64, was arrested in early 2025 on charges he conspired to steal Fed trade secrets for the benefit of China, prosecutors said at the time.
In his trial, a federal jury deliberated for two days before finding Rogers guilty on February 3 “of making false statements to government investigators at the Office of Inspector General for the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau,” the Justice Department said in a statement.
“John Rogers spent years secretly funneling sensitive Federal Reserve information to Chinese spies, then looked investigators in the eye and lied about it. And when that wasn’t enough, he lied again under oath at trial,” U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
