Premium Episode 68 - José Vigoa pt. 3, or, Never Do One Last Score, or, the CIA’s Very Honest Account of the Dangers of Cuban Intelligence

[originally published on Patreon Aug 18, 2023]

The heists will continue until morale improves. We finish the story of José Vigoa by following the rest of his heist career. Then we discuss the circumstances surrounding his arrest and imprisonment, the discovery of his Spetsnaz commando background, and some of his purported intelligence activities post-arrest.

This brings us to the topic of Cuban intelligence operations in the US, which in turns requires us to discuss the one source for this story - John Huddy. As it turns out, that's a very interesting story, too.
