Former Federal Reserve senior advisor John Harold Rogers has been sentenced to more than three years in prison for making false statements to federal investigators about leaking restricted central-bank data to Chinese intelligence operatives. Rogers, 64, was convicted in February of lying when he denied sharing nonpublic information on monetary policy, though he was acquitted of conspiracy to commit economic espionage. U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich also imposed 12 months of supervised release, with credit for roughly 18 months already served. Rogers worked in the Fed’s international finance division from 2010 to 2021 and had access to Federal Open Market Committee deliberations. Prosecutors said advance knowledge of interest-rate decisions could have allowed Beijing to generate enormous profits from trading its roughly $1.5 trillion in U.S. Treasurys.
