You may think that spies only exist in movies but no every major country has spies in other
major countries but sometimes these spies get caught by intelligence agencies like the fbi
today we'll look at some videos i've obtained of real spies caught in the united states
these foreign spies are from all over the world and some of their tactics and stories
caught on camera are truly amazing and scary anna chapman anna chapman was born in the soviet union
there she was recruited by the kgb this is russia's main intelligence agency but in the 2000s
she moved to an area in the united states she lived among her neighbors in an american suburb
and they believed she was the ceo of a real estate company but in real life she was a russian spy
sent to america a secret fbi video of her was released it shows a meeting with what she
thinks is a russian contact but really it's an undercover fbi agent the undercover agent named
roman convinced her to send a fake passport to another russian spy eventually she was
arrested but she was swapped with an american spy court in russia and sent back to her homeland
the fbi later found out that her spying went even deeper she had kids born in the usa which
she was training to be kgb spies as well but thankfully she was caught before she could do that
chinese spy in the san francisco bay area many knew edward pong as a tour guide but in 2018 the
fbi realized he was a spy for china he was caught taping twenty thousand dollars to the underside
of a tv stand hours later pong comes back to pick up a usb stick he thought the data on the usb had
classified government secrets but what pong didn't know is that a double agent working for the fbi
is who left the memory stick there he was going to pass these secrets onto china but thankfully
in 2015 a double agent penetrated the spy ring they actually did this for three years giving him
fake information pong would pick up the memory cards and then fly them to china
he posed as a normal american and his neighbors were stunned when they found out the truth
fbi mole not all spies for foreign countries come from that country in fact the most effective way
to spy on a country is to get a mole inside that country and who could be a better mole
to spy on the us government than an fbi agent it sounds crazy but for many years robert hansen an
fbi agent was a mole for russia he spied for the soviet union and later russia from 1979 to 2001.
it's been described as the worst intelligence disaster in us history he gave many secrets to
russian agents in exchange for money he delivered many top secret things for example nuclear
weaponry intelligence and satellite information he also gave russians the names of american assets
in russia which undoubtedly led to many people losing their lives russian spies would leave
money in wolf trap creek in virginia he would then pick up the money and leave behind information
but it was at this drop site where he was caught by the fbi he was leaving what he thought was a
drop but really it was a sting by the fbi and they surrounded him when he was caught he said
what took you so long he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole
and he earned an estimated 1.5 million dollars in cash and diamonds for his spying activities

mezzos or at least that was his cover name really he's a russian spy named pavel caputstin in this
fbi video he can be seen doing a covert bag swap he was swapping secrets in exchange for money and
that money would be distributed to other spies and assets they had the other man in the video
is a russian official perhaps a diplomat and the footage was captured by secret cameras in new york
bird christopher mezzos got away with it police went to arrest him but found he'd fled to cyprus
he may now be living back in russia but he will likely never be caught for his spying spy bridge
as we've mentioned robert hansen would do his dead drops under a bridge a dead drop being where you
leave behind classified information for someone to pick up later that's what russian spy mikhail
simenko is doing in this video he was approached by an undercover fbi agent who said he was a
russian spy sameenko then accepted five thousand dollars to do a dead drop of secret information he
was caught on a secret video doing just that the fbi obtained the secret info he thought he was
giving to a russian spy he was arrested in 2010 but it's thought he'd been transferring money to
russian sleeper agents since 2004. dead drop the video we just saw was an unsuccessful dead drop
that is because it was a fake one staged by the fbi but this video shows michael sotoli doing a
real dead draw michael zatoli being the fake name of mikhail kutzik a russian spy you can see him
recovering a package by digging it up what he didn't know is the fbi had put a secret camera
in a tree above him the fbi said him and his wife had been spying on the usa for russia since 2004
but they were swapped for u.s spies caught in russia intel swore this video shows
michael zatoli and also richard murphy richard murphy was the fake name of vladimir guryev
they can be seen meeting in brooklyn new york and they're talking about spy activities while
being secretly filmed by the fbi at one point they even seem to exchange information or perhaps money
department store spy this is another video of anna chapman the russian spy and outside is an
unidentified russian official while she was in the store the man waits outside when she
leaves the storage thought the two met up she then gave him some intelligence and he may have
given her some money but for legal reasons the fbi can't disclose the name of the russian diplomat
train station exchange this video was caught by a secret fbi camera inside a
train station in new york the spy richard murphy exchanges a package with a russian diplomat
he's seen in disguise looking around then on the stairwell they do a very sneaky covert bag swap
cafe meeting this is another secretly recorded meeting between michael satoli and richard
murphy this time they're meeting at a cafe and discussing spy secrets at one point zotoli even
appears to give murphy something from his bag this could have been a flash drive money or documents
new york meeting it was secretly filmed by an fbi agent high up in a building they met in columbus
circle new york they walked around and spoke for some time but were later arrested now it's time
to make your voice heard these videos really prove how many spies we have in our countries
it doesn't matter where you are there's likely many spies from all around the world in your
country and to make things even more creepy they could be posing as your neighbors or co-workers
remember all of these spies had normal lives with friends and family so it really makes you think
do you know any spies in your area all of these videos were provided by the fbi but these were
only videos they've declassified there are many other cases where they've busted foreign spies
but they haven't released any information or videos because it's top secret after all sometimes
the information they steal is crucial but don't think the usa doesn't also spy many cia spies have
been caught all around the world for example in russia and china comment below which was the most
mysterious spy video on this list if you want some more amazing videos check out my second channel
