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.

They knew it was strange when they saw someone actually owning a PS3.

Evidently, they put nickels and dimes in the Wii box... weird.

He tried using a 360, but the box broke down on his way to the airport.

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.

Re: Younger Half of Father-son Spy Duo Smuggled Russian $$$ in

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).

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

Re: Younger Half of Father-son Spy Duo Smuggled Russian $$$ in

I can imagine Jack Thompson doing that

Re: Younger Half of Father-son Spy Duo Smuggled Russian $$$ in

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.

Re: Younger Half of Father-son Spy Duo Smuggled Russian $$$ in

He's American! If he was a proper Russian Spy, he wouldn't have been discovered until after his death.

Probably used a PS3 case because its bulkier.

Re: Younger Half of Father-son Spy Duo Smuggled Russian $$$ in

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.

See? Xbox 360 doesn't support treason! Damn your black heart Sony!

Re: Younger Half of Father-son Spy Duo Smuggled Russian $$$ in

The reason they put the money in a PS3 case was only because nobody would have stolen it.

Re: Younger Half of Father-son Spy Duo Smuggled Russian $$$ in

I laughed so hard at your comment that a bit of pee came out!! Thanks a lot!! And yes, I totally agree with you :)

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

MaskedPixelanteI'm thinking that in two weeks or so, Microsoft will announce a $300-$350 subsidized Xbox One, depending on the monthly price of Gold next gen.06/17/2013 - 7:04pm
Andrew EisenAnd what, super-over-deliver the value?06/17/2013 - 5:44pm
ZippyDSMleeThen price it at 299. >>06/17/2013 - 5:32pm
Andrew EisenMicrosoft says it's "over-delivering value" with it's $499 price point for Xbox One. http://www.destructoid.com/microsoft-xbox-one-overdelivers-value--256472.phtml06/17/2013 - 3:59pm
ConsterMy phone may have the possibility of an internet connection, but I consider that inferior to it having a radio functionality, allowing me to listen to songs, and record them, for free. Internet is overrated sometimes.06/17/2013 - 1:48pm

E. Zachary KnightThat would be neat, but I am thinking more of case mods that still show off the real size of the Ouya. I will have to see what else is out there. The 2600 Joystick may work, but I don't have one to check.06/17/2013 - 12:03pm
ImautobotOr how about an old Atari 2600 casing?06/17/2013 - 11:57am
ImautobotWhy not just put the thing in a old SNES/N64 console housing? I know it would be much bigger, but it's still Nostalgic.06/17/2013 - 11:55am
E. Zachary KnightBut if it is going to run too hot and fry, it wouldn't be worth it. I guess I will have to think of something else.06/17/2013 - 11:23am
E. Zachary KnightThat is why I wanted to check before attemping it. I had hoped that I could fit it inside a cartidge for an old school system like the SNES or N64.06/17/2013 - 11:22am
ImautobotEZK, I noticed that thing puts out some serious heat, without the fan I doubt it would run long.06/17/2013 - 11:09am
E. Zachary KnightAccording to Ouya Support, it is not recommended to remove the fan. I want to do a case mod, but if I can't remove the fan, that puts a wrinkle in it.06/17/2013 - 10:29am

ImautobotI'll be keeping my 360, but I don't play online enough to justify keeping XBL. Besides, I'll likely direct those funds to the Playstation Plus Service.06/17/2013 - 9:39am
PHX Corp@Imautobot, I'll still support the xbox 360, just not the xbox one. but I'll be thinking about preordering the PS4 for myself06/17/2013 - 7:57am
ImautobotI pre-ordered my PS4 over the weekend. Oh, and I canceled the auto-renew on my XBL account. That means I've officially jumped the Xbox ship.06/17/2013 - 7:28am
