So in manufacturing porn using your own body, you're not only selling yourself out, but you're selling yourself to the Russian mafia, if you're American military personnel. Yes, that day is finally here. I'm sad to see such low moral standards in the Armed Forces. Omg.

WASHINGTON — Scores of photos showing American military personnel naked and having sex appear to be for sale in an online criminal marketplace run out of Russia, Military Times has learned.

It's a startling development in the ongoing scandal that has shaken the Pentagon and infuriated Congress, raising serious questions about the extent to which these photos — purportedly numbering in the thousands — could be exploited by foreign governments, or other entities seeking to influence or undermine the United States. Many military personnel hold security clearances that afford them access to classified or otherwise secretive information. The existence of compromising material — known in Russian as "kompromat" — could make them vulnerable to blackmail, now or in the future.

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service, which is leading a militarywide inquiry into the nude photo scandal exposed last month, would not address questions seeking clarity on the extent to which agents may be investigating possible involvement by Russia or other foreign organizations. Officials also declined to acknowledge whether NCIS is investigating the exploitation of these images for financial gain.

The explicit photos appear to be for sale on AlphaBay, a secretive “deep web” trading post popular with hackers looking to profit from identity theft, child pornography and the sale of weapons and drugs. The site has been linked to the Russian mafia, and is suspected of operating with tacit approval from the Russian government and its intelligence agencies.
