Toebbe had listed a return address in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, containing a sample of restricted data and instructions for establishing a covert relationship to obtain additional information.

It’s believed Toebbe began corresponding via encrypted email with an individual whom he believed to be a representative of the foreign government, who was instead an undercover FBI agent, and continued a correspondence for several months before reaching an exchange agreement for thousands of dollars in cryptocurrency.

The couple were charged with conspiracy to share restricted data, and communicate that restricted data.

They are scheduled to make an appearance at a Federal Court in West Virginia this week.
