The president of a Maryland metal recycling company was sentenced to a year in prison for conspiring to bribe a NSA official.
Jeffrey Mark Harmon, 45, of Windsor Mill, was president of Berg Bros., Recycling in Baltimore., which prosecutors said illegally paid a National Security Agency employee for a job to clear a Fort Meade storage area of copper communications cable, discarded metal racks for large computer servers and other equipment.
Prosecutors said the company made 39 illegal payments of $104,989 to NSA employee Robert Adcock between 2004 and 2006. When Harmon took a job at a new metal recycling company, he paid an additional $5,000 to Adcock.
Adcock, 44, of Parkville, pleaded guilty to obtaining payments in return for taking actions as a NSA official and making false statements to conceal illegal payments from the NSA.
