Vienna, VA
Robert Hanssen (b. April 18, 1944) is a former FBI agent who sold U.S. intelligence to the Soviets and Russians over a 22-year period for a reported $1.4 million in cash and diamonds. The U.S. Justice Department has described Hanssen's spying activities as one of the worst intelligence disasters in U.S. history. In a 2001 plea bargain that allowed him to escape the death penalty, Hanssen admitted to 13 counts of espionage. He is currently serving a life sentence at a federal penitentiary in Colorado. Hanssen was nabbed by FBI agents near his Vienna, Virginia home, located at 9414 Talisman Drive, after months of surveillance, which included monitoring from cameras inside a house across the street.
