前聯準會(Fed)高階顧問羅傑斯(John Harold Rogers)被美方指控向中國情報人員洩露聯準會資訊,今年7月羅傑斯因向聯邦調查人員作虛假陳述,被判處38個月徒刑。加拿大約克大學副教授沈榮欽在臉書分享這起案例的內幕,並指這是中國情治人員打入聯準會首例,甚至直到被起訴,羅傑斯仍視中國間諜為至交手足,這也凸顯羅傑斯洩密的過程,也許比洩密的結果,更值得注意。
綜合媒體報導,美國聯準會前資深顧問羅傑斯(John Harold Rogers) 被指控向中國情報人員洩露聯準會資訊,羅傑斯因孤單而活躍於交友網站,並藉此認識了小他24歲的上海女子Yu Liu (暱稱「宇宇」),羅傑斯在2013年於上海復旦大學的一場學術研討會也結識一名男子「李宏民」(Hummin Lee),但美方認為包含「宇宇」及「李宏民」都很可能是中國間諜。
請繼續往下閱讀...
「李宏民」除了長期與羅傑斯互動,還在羅傑斯想赴中見「宇宇」時幫忙包辦行程及開銷,「李宏民」還幫忙「宇宇」與前夫離婚的相關事宜,並擔任羅傑斯與「宇宇」婚前協議的見證人;甚至在兩人的孩子出生時,也是「李宏民」前往機場接機並奔波於醫院。羅傑斯因此對「李宏民」產生了極度深厚的精神依賴,甚至坦言,沒有李宏民就不會有自己的妻女,他早已將對方視為親兄弟。
在建立起絕對信任後,李宏民開始挖掘聯準會的資料,失去警覺的羅傑斯開始向同事索要內部報告,甚至將「非公開/內部」的文件轉寄給李宏民。羅傑斯也曾列印兩份聯準會內部文件,內容涉及聯邦公開市場委員會 (FOMC) 的經濟預測資料,並於次日就搭機前往北京。
美國檢方為此指控羅傑斯涉嫌竊取機密,並假借在中國授課名義,將資訊轉向共犯,向中國情報人員洩露聯準會的機密資訊。不過,羅傑斯今年2月被判向調查人員做出不實陳述有罪,但陪審團最終只裁定他向調查人員說謊的罪名成立,共謀經濟間諜罪名不成立。
沈榮欽在臉書發文指出,羅傑斯洩密的過程,也許比洩密的結果,更值得注意。如同起訴他的檢察官所說:「這起案件的事實就像一部間諜小說,這裡面有性、有金錢、有操縱、與中國可疑人物的秘密會面、有虛假身份、有謊言、有詭計和欺騙。這起案件中所有事件都確有其事。」
沈榮欽也直言,這是中國情治人員打入聯準會首例,藍金黃的真實案例,但其實藍金黃不夠精確,直到羅傑斯被起訴,他仍視中國間諜為至交手足。
沈榮欽在整理案件內容時也提到,李宏民定期安排羅傑斯前往中國演講,但這些演講通常安排在飯店房間裡進行,只有寥寥數人參加,課程內容包括聯準會對美國經濟監管的各種面向。羅傑斯向李宏民提供越來越多的資料,甚至邀請聯準會同事提供一些他們認為適合中國的資料給李。
不過羅傑斯與宇宇的關係之後開始破裂,宇宇還聲稱羅傑斯與其他女性有染,有太多女性朋友。最終拒絕和羅傑斯同床。羅傑斯又開始感到孤獨,他再次上網找年輕漂亮的女生調情。甚至用聯準會配發的手機拍攝裸照,和這些女性交換裸照。
結果那些帳戶背後的黑手就開始向羅傑斯勒索。他們告訴羅傑斯,他們知道他在哪裡工作,開什麼車。他們威脅要把他的裸照發給聯準會副主席,還威脅要綁架羅傑斯當時 18個月大的女兒。
羅傑斯於2020年向上級報告發生經過,他們隨後將羅傑斯的案例轉給了聯準會監察長辦公室。而此時羅傑斯才知道,他早已進入監察長的雷達,聯準會的網路安全團隊也對羅傑斯前往中國的行程以及他與李宏民的關係表示擔憂。
羅傑斯因此從聯準會離職。離開聯準會後不久,他就開始在上海復旦大學任教,當時他以為他和李宏民的案子,已經隨著他的離職而煙消雲散。不過聯準會已將此案移交給聯邦調查局,3年多後,聯邦調查局逮捕了他。

He was transferred to the prosecutor on suspicion of public danger and was recommended for preventive detention.

During the cleaning operation of the exterior wall of the first phase of the Yilan Science Park building, a large crane suddenly overturned, causing two workers to fall from a height of 20 meters. The 65-year-old worker named Chen died on the spot, and the 63-year-old Ye man suffered fractures and serious injuries. Preliminary investigation showed that the accident was suspected to be caused by a mechanical failure of the boom. The operator has been questioned by police and the Occupational Safety Administration of the Ministry of Labor will lead the subsequent occupational accident investigation.

Gao Nan attempted to set a fire due to an argument with his family over the purchase of gasoline. Although he was stopped by his younger brother, he lit a napkin and caused oil stains.

Several employees of the Toyama City Government in Japan were suspected of falsely reporting the population in the 2025 census and including household registrations without actual residence in the census data, which increased the number of ghost households in the city by approximately 2,936.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications reported it to the police, and Toyama Prefectural police searched the office of the Municipal Planning and Coordination Section responsible for the census on the morning of the 3rd.
