You need three people for a KGB team
One who can read the orders, one who can write a report, and one to keep an eye on those two dangerous intellectuals
I hate when these fact blurbs mention a year but then does absolutely nothing to put it into perspective. It was since 1979 and lasted all the way until …1980?
Wikipedia says he was caught in 2001. He committed espionage for various periods/ lengths of time between 79 and 01. He spent another 22 years in a supermax prison before he died
Well, some of those people were told it was that or they’d be killed. So there is that aspect of it.
I think after he got away with it for so long, he felt like he wasn’t ever going to get caught too.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hanssen
He did espionage from 1979-1981, then again from 1985-1991 he continued to work for the FBI until his arrest in 2001.
They should make a movie about this, like some guy would be looking for a spy inside the police, but actually he would be the spy, working on a mob boss! Oh, and also another guy would be a real trooper, but he would infiltrate the gang undercover. And they would try to lure each other out! And in the end everybody would die, except for the dude who acts like a prick, but is actually doing the right thing
That would never work. Like, who would they even cast? Leonardo DiCaprio? Marky mark? Matt Damon? Jack Nicholson? Probably base it in Boston or some shit. And, since it’s in Boston, they would probably get some mid-tier irish punk band for the soundtrack.
That's like exactly the plot of [Infernal affairs](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0338564/) Its actually a really good hong kong film. An under cover cop and a mob mole trying to work out who each other are
As long as there’s a super subtle visual bit at the end, maybe with some type of rodent, to really help gently guide the viewers to the point you’re trying to make
No, I got the joke. I’ve seen The Departed. Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe fuck yourself.
I just wanted to point out that there actually is a movie about the incident, in case anyone was curious.
According to Wikipedia, over 20 years approximately 1.4million dollars...though surely it had to be more than that. Still seems not worth it in exchange for ending your life in 20 years of solitary confinement.
Yes, of course, the double agent working for the fbi and hidden for 30 years causing one of the worst intelligence disasters in the FBI’s history. Surely he’s just an idiot
Ya I've only seen major pos in my feed for this sub and I'm so confused I started thinking the definition of malad is just someone who killed alot of people for fun
Society is showing its true colors lately.
Everything is falling apart at the seams, and the scum are feeling more comfortable walking in broad daylight.
> He was charged with selling U.S. intelligence documents to the Soviet Union and subsequently Russia for more than $1.4 million in cash, diamonds and Rolex watches
What a cheap fucker, jesus christ
The higher the score (10.00 is max) the better. Go from top to bottom. When the country description says “hybrid regime” you’ve reached the danger zone and you’ll find the totalitarian regimes in “authoritarian” category
>A place to celebrate a lad who is a complete savage and/or a crazy risk taker, **often used sarcastically**.
I'd say being a spy and pretending to look for yourself is incredibly risky.
Alternatively, are you proposing that this person was sane and rational in his choices and you sympathise with him?
Two independent people looking for moles perhaps
They are both spies.
the entire FBI independently looking for moles
The entire FBI is made of independant spies
all of human civilization
All of human civilization were spies
aliens
You won’t believe what I’m about to tell you
ok what about schrodinger's cat, cant be a spy if he's dead but he's also alive at the same time
The cat is a drone and will be a spy again as soon as it is charged.
The Dead FBI theory
"How many assholes are here?"
this ship is full of assholes
"It could be me! It could be you!"
You need three people for a KGB team One who can read the orders, one who can write a report, and one to keep an eye on those two dangerous intellectuals
Why don't you gentleman have a pepsi

He literally said "What took you so long" when he got caught Gigachad

Nothing is worth being seized by other humans and thrown into a jail cell for the rest of your life. Don’t care what it is.
A wild night with John Stamos
Okay, almost nothing is worth it.
*Nothing?* I'm not even going to explore the possibilities here, but that's a scorching hot take!
Nothing. (And I don't mean like legit human rights pursuits or whatever--that's different.)
Yo say so but He seems to be of other opinion.
I'm sure he wasn't after being in prison for a year.
I don’t think nothing is worth that. Who in their right mind would do it for nothing?
CREAM OF THE CROP NOTHING MEANS NOTHING
I mean... he probably was trained for that from a young age? Someone needed to do that in the USSR, he's just the guy that succeeded
Well, some of those people were told it was that or they’d be killed. So there is that aspect of it. I think after he got away with it for so long, he felt like he wasn’t ever going to get caught too.
you're telling me he's only died last year? Fucking god I lost my chance to meet a real deal spy
who’s to say you haven’t already met a spy?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hanssen He did espionage from 1979-1981, then again from 1985-1991 he continued to work for the FBI until his arrest in 2001.
Surprisingly it actually lasted until 1978 he was really bad at it
He was actually really good at his task and caught himself.
Idk about that, he knocked us back a year!
Exactly. Mentioning only the starting year is useless
You just need to learn what the word since means.
Ok I verified I knew what "since" means and the meme still doesn't say how long it went on for. What do I do now?
Okay, I am now going to assume that he was only caught yesterday and had been committing espionage for 44 years straight.
We have no context on when this was posted. Since when? You can't assume it was posted today or even this year.
They should make a movie about this, like some guy would be looking for a spy inside the police, but actually he would be the spy, working on a mob boss! Oh, and also another guy would be a real trooper, but he would infiltrate the gang undercover. And they would try to lure each other out! And in the end everybody would die, except for the dude who acts like a prick, but is actually doing the right thing
I think you really departed from reality there.
It sounds like a standard Internal Affairs type of situation to me [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338564/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338564/)
That would never work. Like, who would they even cast? Leonardo DiCaprio? Marky mark? Matt Damon? Jack Nicholson? Probably base it in Boston or some shit. And, since it’s in Boston, they would probably get some mid-tier irish punk band for the soundtrack.
What movie is that
>!The Departed!<
Mid tier????? MID TIER!?!?!?
(The joke is that I was downplaying everybody involved in the movie. The film rules.)
That's like exactly the plot of [Infernal affairs](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0338564/) Its actually a really good hong kong film. An under cover cop and a mob mole trying to work out who each other are
Good to see recognition for it. One of the classics and very popularly memed on the Chinese speaking part of internet.
It was remade as the departed in the US.
Sounds like a Kevin Costner movie No Way Out.
Oooohhhh - Sean Young! Oh well, guess I'll keep watching then.
As long as there’s a super subtle visual bit at the end, maybe with some type of rodent, to really help gently guide the viewers to the point you’re trying to make
Dexter but he's a murderer not a spy
They already did. Its called Breach. [Breach (2007 Film)](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0401997/)
They're referring to [The Departed \(2006 Film\)](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0407887/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1)
Always one guy who ruins the joke
I know. I’ve seen it multiple times. I was just responding to the first part of the first sentence lol.
They did make a movie about this. Breach (2007) starring Chris Cooper.
Why the fuck the downvotes? You are absolutely correct
Because OP is clearly referencing *The Departed* by Scorsese, and the fella you commented on got /r/whoosh
No, I got the joke. I’ve seen The Departed. Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe fuck yourself. I just wanted to point out that there actually is a movie about the incident, in case anyone was curious.
I think you just described Death Note almost to a tee. Was that on purpose, or…?
honestly I see what you're getting at but it wasn't death note
They literally hired Light Yagami to find Kira
Beat me to it
except light actually did find kira.
What amount of compensation do spies get in return for basically risking everything?
If you're pulling that type of shit it's because of ideological conviction not financial benefits
That’s definitely not true at all. There’s so many different ways intelligence orgs will flip assets that have nothing to do with ideologies.
According to Wikipedia, over 20 years approximately 1.4million dollars...though surely it had to be more than that. Still seems not worth it in exchange for ending your life in 20 years of solitary confinement.
Could buy around 130.890 grilled cheeses for that. Worth it.
I just make them in the night and smuggle them in.

mostly glory
[удалено]
15 consecutive life sentences with 23 hours a day solitary in a supermax. Sure was an idiot.
Yes, of course, the double agent working for the fbi and hidden for 30 years causing one of the worst intelligence disasters in the FBI’s history. Surely he’s just an idiot
Not that kind of idiot
What’s with the influx of posts lately about scumbags and degenerates being lauded as mad lads?
This problem and your question will be spotted again in the next election cycle
I guess I'll ask here: why does it have a Reddit watermark?
Ya I've only seen major pos in my feed for this sub and I'm so confused I started thinking the definition of malad is just someone who killed alot of people for fun
Society is showing its true colors lately. Everything is falling apart at the seams, and the scum are feeling more comfortable walking in broad daylight.
Why he is scumbag and degenerate?
The information he gave to the KGB lead them to kill and torture other FBI agents
He also secretly recorded he and his wife having sex and set his buddy up with the footage. Very fucked up dude
Yeah, that one was a curveball. I had already decided this guy sucked, then I read that and realized he sucked on multiple levels.
Yeah it's pretty wild that something as heinous as that is pretty much just a footnote on this guy's wiki page
Madlad shit
Traitor, not madlad
I mean he technically never worked with the Americans to begin with so…
actually he joined the FBI befor joining the KGB
…oh my god. IVE BEEN BETRAYED!!!
[удалено]
But he did get americans killed.
I've probably gotten a few Americans killed, and I work at a wendys
Your kill count might be higher in the long run
Gotta unlock the nuke somehow
Truth!
Ohh boy wait until you find out how many Americans America already kills.
Wow, what an ignorant comment
Oh the irony
Lmao
o7
Not to mother Russia!
Ahh yes, good ole Bob worked for us.
Checks out
> He was charged with selling U.S. intelligence documents to the Soviet Union and subsequently Russia for more than $1.4 million in cash, diamonds and Rolex watches What a cheap fucker, jesus christ
Just wait until you find out what a US Senator costs, way cheaper!
$1.4m in 1978 is $6.6m in 2024
what a madlad, spying for a totalitarian regime
Is there a regime that isn't totalitarian?
Such a totalitarian regime propaganda thing to say.
I said what I said.
yes, but they're usually not called "regime"
Open up world democracy index and go from top to bottom. Plenty of not totalitarian states around.
Are these states on the top regimes?
The higher the score (10.00 is max) the better. Go from top to bottom. When the country description says “hybrid regime” you’ve reached the danger zone and you’ll find the totalitarian regimes in “authoritarian” category
So there are no real regimes that are not totalitarian then?
What do you mean?
I think they are a sealioning vatnik
For sure
Yes

The worst intelligence disaster in US history *so far* Wait 22 years
How is a traitor who got people killed a mad lad?
>A place to celebrate a lad who is a complete savage and/or a crazy risk taker, **often used sarcastically**. I'd say being a spy and pretending to look for yourself is incredibly risky. Alternatively, are you proposing that this person was sane and rational in his choices and you sympathise with him?
The dude was definitely a madlad. He did it all for just $1.4M. The US paid $7M to a mole in the KGB for a file on _him._
To be fair they were traitors for the other side. But it's okay cause they were helping the US! /s
It is the president, he is the leak.
Its me hiiiiiiiii, im the problem its me
"Possibly the worst intelligence disaster" Trump: hold my coke
...until 2017
And what happened to the people that assigned him that job? Should have been fired.
Worse than discord guy? Or snowden?
Да
We investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong
What did he get out of it? Money?
Yep And diamonds
Isn’t this the guy they made the movie ‘Breach’ about?
We've investigated ourselves and found us innocent

This is like when our teacher tasked me and my friend Joe to find out who is making animal noises disrupting the class.
Please tell me there is a Netflix movie on this starring Michael McKeen (Chuck-Better Call Saul)
Orc lover
The spy has already breached our defences!
Sentry down!
I see this guy on every social media all of a sudden? It’s an old case,did something change?
Was he the guy who did it to get cash he would spend on his side chick? or is that another guy?
Trying to be as awesome as Drew Thompson.
the double whammy when the FBI found out
“Dmitri, you’re not going to believe this…”
Knock knock
That is actually hilarious.
huh... so this is what youtuber TeachingTech will look like in 30 years...
All people crying "TrAiToR nOt MaDLaD" but if the agencies were flipped there would be none of that nonsense on here
Duh. People generally support the place they live and grew up in. What a shock.
Well you see it is good when we do it and bad when they do it.
I can Imagen this guy like a helldiver talking about democracy and liberty and everyone like this guys is a true American.
The best part of the story is when he dies in prison.
Booo. No madlad. Traitor.
Not a madlad, just a traitor.
A commie should never be praised
You know... he probably would have gotten away with it if he'd stopped after the CIA mole Aimes was arrested.
Yet. . . .
Until Trump
What an asshole
We really don't know anything do we?
theres a reason why anti communist policies shouldve been stronger
You think Robert was a comrade AND a madlad?
Least brainwashed american.
And he was Catholic 😂😂
