2. Aldrich Ames

While some double agents are concerned about revealing information that can damage the affairs of the government, others may be enthusiastic about harming individuals. Aldrich Ames never had business with the government but instead chose to sell information to the Union of Soviets and Russia for about ten years.

This information revealed saw 12 Americans who acted under pretense working in Moscow exposed. Upon the discovery, they sent these 12 Americans to jail. Many among them were made to face execution. The CIA director in 1994 through the N.Y. Times said, “these men died because a traitor wanted a bigger house and car.”
