In this gripping episode of True Crimecast, Jamie and John unravel the chilling story of Aldrich Ames, a CIA insider who became one of the most devastating traitors in American intelligence history. Unlike the cinematic spy villains of fiction, Ames was a quiet bureaucrat who leveraged his position, knowledge, and the CIA’s own blind spots to sell secrets to the Soviet Union—secrets that led to the deaths of at least 10 U.S. operatives. Listen and explore how Ames gained access, why he did it, and how he stayed hidden for nearly a decade while living a life of luxury funded by betrayal. This is not just a tale of espionage—it’s a haunting reminder of what happens when loyalty is traded for cash, and when the perfect insider becomes the ultimate threat.
