My late father used to say "a man who betrays his family has no limits." That means, if he is capable of betraying his cellular family, he is capable of betraying country, company, his beliefs... These stories proved my father right.

The report on Robert Hanssen failed to mention that he was caught by a rookie twenty-something named Eric O'Neill, who was assigned to Hanssen for his first case. Hanssen died just a few months ago in June, 2023.

The best part of the story is how the siblings accepted and came together and did not blame their father

[LTKK]

Letting a former spy work for the power grid is insane.

[anon-san]

"He's a very honest person." Both the wives would vehemently disagree

[dayalcober]

This is the most intriguing episode I have ever seen, plus the man reminds me a lot of Liam Neeson, who could play him perfectly if a movie should ever be made about Jack Barsky.

[truthhurts]

This guy really left Germany and fell in love with nothing but chocolate in America 😂😂😂

[RADIUMGLASS]

The FBI agent he became friends with is still watching him for the FBI.

[velhunnid]

His smiles & smirks TELL me everything i dont trust him

[lvlyflrs]

For the first story, I feel so bad for the son and the wife in Germany. I hoped he elaborated more on how they were able to reconcile because that felt like a very unfair father.

As someone who grew up in Jersey, born in Orange during the time frame, I was fascinated by his story. Even raising my kids in the part of Jersey that is right over the bridge from Pennsylvania. Not one whisper did I hear. Not even the usual gossipy rumour. All four of my grandparents came from Germany. It seems like he and I have passed by each other many times. Including that one of my good friends also wrote code for the same company he did. If she were still alive I'd be calling her to ask if she knew him. I am relieved that he has come clean to his new country as well as to his children. Even if his German ex-wife does not wish to have anything to do with him he owes her more. Perhaps a letter delivered to her by their son. No neeed for her to respond, but the collection of a debt long over due.

[Dmebod]

Him: Im the best lier (literally said it)
FBI: He is the most honest man you will ever meet

[iliketowatch.]

How is his story NOT been made into a movie? Of course, Liam Neeson would be the natural choice to play the lead.

I Just Love These Kind of Real Life Spy Stories.

[MrDlt]

The FBI may have given him a pass, but that doesnt mean they're not keeping an eye on him.

[googlegoogle]

Some things I’ll never understand is how the Feds destroy some people for much more subtle crimes but others like this guy walks free. I think his love for his family probably saved him.

[glitch-prnr]

Don't believe anything a liar says even if they are retired

[smilegrant]

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer!

[jasminej]

I feel devastated for his son & wife. Especially when he said he feels like my son.

When they said he at the end he now worked in a key position at a key powergrid of a major U.S. city, I seriously thought, "Uh oh. That's a sequel if I ever saw one."
