Gmail account 1 was subscribed to in the name of “Joe Schmidt.” In January 2018 and April 2019, SCHMIDT provided Gmail account 1 to the Army as his email address. Gmail account 1 also has a Google account associated with it. Gmail account 2 was subscribed to in the name of “Joey Schmidt” and lists Gmail account 1 as the recovery email address for the account. According to records obtained from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, SCHMIDT used Gmail account 2 to make travel reservations for his trips to the PRC

It's literally worse his (Joseph Schmidt) alias was Joey Schmidt. Then from the email the army has on record as being him he does this:

SCHMIDT used Gmail account 1 to send the following email to the pubic email address for the Chinese Consulate in Istanbul: Hello, My name is Joe Schmidt. I am a United States citizen looking to move to China. I currently reside in Istanbul, and am trying to set up an appointment at the consulate in Istanbul. I also am trying to share information I learned during my career as an interrogator with the Chinese government.
