It was his escalating debts that led him to selling the wealth of secrets that he had access to.

“It was about the money, and I don’t think he ever really tried to lead anybody to believe it was anything more than that,” FBI agent Leslie G Wiser, who was involved in the investigation that led to Ames’s arrest, told the BBC’s Witness History in 2015.

So the BBC article alleges that he didn’t even do it because of allegiance, but because of debts and the financial payoff from selling out agents. Isn’t that such a fitting capitalism moment?

Okay maybe there is one good CIA agent. RIP to a real one. I don’t even care if he just did it for the money. Critical support

RIP king, you will be missed
