Siberian pair tried to sell CIA made-up military secrets – FSB source
Two men from a remote Siberian town got in touch with the CIA aiming to sell top-secret military data. Russian intelligence found out, but let the would-be spies off with a warning - because the 'secrets' were entirely made-up.
"In 2015, a [Siberian town of] Borzya resident, born in 1993, left a message on the CIA website, offering to sell some secret information on the Russian military to US intelligence,” a source in the regional directorate of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) told TASS. “Shortly after he got a reply. The CIA took the bait and started asking questions.”
The US agency started actively inquiring about the routine of Russian military facilities, although for some reason the CIA representatives chose to avoid the subject of money, the source said.
