Soviet Spy's Maid Found Russian Currency In Laundry — Called FBI Hotline

Video Description

In 1990, a family member discovered $5,000 in unexplained cash and reported it to the FBI. The warning was ignored. For 11 years, FBI Special Agent Robert Hanssen continued selling America's deepest secrets to Russia—until his dramatic arrest in 2001. Robert Hanssen spied for the Soviet Union and Russia for 22 years, betraying classified documents, agent identities, and nuclear war plans for over $1.4 million in cash and diamonds. At least three CIA sources were executed because of his betrayal, including Soviet General Dmitri Polyakov. Working as the FBI's senior counterintelligence officer, Hanssen investigated Soviet spies while being one himself. He used dead drops, encrypted communications, and remained anonymous to his Russian handlers under the codename "Ramon Garcia." The FBI finally caught him in February 2001 at Foxstone Park, Virginia, thanks to undercover operative Eric O'Neill who infiltrated his office. Hanssen pleaded guilty to 15 counts of espionage and was sentenced to life in prison without parole—described as "possibly the worst intelligence disaster in U.S. history." This is the complete story of America's most damaging FBI mole, the victims he betrayed, and the warning signs everyone ignored. #RobertHanssen #ColdWarEspionage #FBISpy #SovietSpy #TrueSpyStory #Espionage #KGB #CIASecrets #EricONeill #ColdWar #IntelligenceHistory #SpyDocumentary #NationalSecurity #Counterintelligence #TrueCrime ⚠️ This video is created for historical and educational documentation only.
