Younger Half of Father-son Spy Duo Smuggled Russian $$$ in PlayStation Case
Younger Half of Father-son Spy Duo Smuggled Russian $$$ in PlayStation Case
January 30, 2009
It's bad enough that rogue CIA agent Harold Nicholson (left) sold out his country for money. But it's simply unconscionable that Nicholson dragged his son into his traitorous world.
The New York Times reports that the FBI has charged Nicholson and his 24-year-old son Nathan with espionage.
From his jail cell, the elder Nicholson allegedly recruited his son to make contact with his former Russian handlers:
Prosecutors said Nathan Nicholson, a former Army paratrooper, had returned from his visits with the Russians with at least $35,000 in cash, some of it in a PlayStation video game case.
The money was intended in part to settle a “pension” that Harold Nicholson said was owed him from his days as a C.I.A. spy for the Russians before his arrest in 1996, the prosecutors said.

Alyric: The leaked information proves these organizations knowingly defrauded governments (i.e., taxpayers) out of billions of dollars. Yet there will probably never be a trial.

The Wii might not smuggle money, but it certainly prints it! ;D

The reason they put the money in a PS3 case was only because nobody would have stolen it.
I laughed so hard at your comment that a bit of pee came out!! Thanks a lot!! And yes, I totally agree with you :)

This personalised spam is worrying in tone.
He should of said that that was the money he saved by switching to Geico!
All he needed was a pair of eyes to put on it... Those are only a few cents at a craft store.

Probably used a PS3 case because its bulkier.
pfff what a rubbish spy.
That beard is blatently a disguise, its a different colour. Maybe he just couldnt find the right pen to draw it on with.
He's American! If he was a proper Russian Spy, he wouldn't have been discovered until after his death.

I can´t imagine them using "Videogames made us do it" in this one...

I can imagine Jack Thompson doing that
Naw it all game related dont you see? The games make us do all the bad things that happen in society (they are also apparently responsible for global warming and tsunami's).
Sorry I cannot maintain that level of stupidity for long.
On a more serious (and grim) note. If this rogue agent's whereabouts are known I am all for ending his miserable existance. I am with Dante (the Inferno) on this one. The lowest levels of hell are reserved for betrayers (and possibly a special place for jackie thompson).
Oh god I can see this being used in a movie.
Q: ... Bond, if you look over here you'll see a case that contains a game for the Playstation 3.
Bond: What will I use that for?
Q: That's a question even we can't answer... it's really just some rubbish that none of us have any use for.

Odd news is odd, though I guess this is high brow/concept game news, I wodner if GP will post about the DRM "expiration date" on gears of war PC thats simply made it unable to play....
Gore,Violence,Sexauilty,Fear,Emotion these are but modes of transportation of story and thought, to take them from society you create a society of children and nannys, since adults are not required.

Although, "Father-son Spy Duo" sounds like the makings of the best film EVER.

He tried using a 360, but the box broke down on his way to the airport.
Evidently, they put nickels and dimes in the Wii box... weird.
They knew it was strange when they saw someone actually owning a PS3.
Then he used a Virtual Boy box, and he got arrested on child abuse
Isn't the cia itself a pretty traitorous organization?
So that's what you are supposed to do with the PS3.
