Notorious Russian Spies Throughout History

Aldrich Ames
The former CIA counterintelligence agent netted about $4.6 million for selling his services to the Soviet Union. Ames worked odd jobs at the agency while in high school, and after college, he signed on full time. After an expensive divorce and marriage to a second wife with no ability to budget, Ames found himself maxed out. He considered bank robbery to alleviate his debts but deemed it easier to peddle secrets to the KGB. Before being caught in 1994, Ames had fingered 10 sources for execution and blown more than 100 operations.
