This man grew up in northwest Chicago, attending Taft HS at the same time as Jim Jacobs who would write the musical Grease about his carefree high school days. This man earned a chemistry degree from Knox College and an MBA from Northwestern, all the while studying Russian. After joining the FBI and moving to New York, this man took on a side job as spy for the USSR, where he spent the next 20 years passing on intelligence to first the Soviets, and later the Russians. Aldrich Ames was originally thought to be the only mole feeding the Soviets high level intelligence, which allowed this man to work for so long. This devout Catholic and member of Opus Dei was ultimately caught when an FBI agent recognized a George Patton inspired quote that this man had used before, on an audio tape of the mole purchased from a former KGB agent. Identify this former FBI agent who is serving 15 consecutive life sentences for devastating U.S. counter-intelligence efforts.
