Longtime National Security Agency intelligence analyst Ronald Pelton was arrested in the 1980s, accused of selling secrets to the Russians. By the time of his arrest, he had piled up debt and already resigned his NSA job.
He is reputed to have had a photographic memory. To protect security, Pelton's spying secrets were not revealed even at his trial. In 1986, he was sentenced to life in prison. |
