The tech to do such has gotten much cheaper and easier. Hard to believe such "honey traps" are not more common than most think.
Alternatively, David Brock and Alefantis may have been more successful than anyone is ever going to be allowed to realize.
MK Ultra did such things in the 60s. Slip a john LSD and observe him behind the mirrors on secretly recordings.
It was alluded to in the 1960s movie Seconds starring Rock Hudson. An old man is blackmailed into complying with the organization.
I've long thought that various Muslim countries, the Saudis particularly, have been busy with that. The Brits especially are very careful to avoid offending Muslims.

All kinds of shady stuff goes on. There is a poster here who always makes fun of my claim that Bing Crosby and his brother were involved in helping to frame an Indonesia leader by producing a fake honey trap

But the event DID happen. It back fired because it did not tarnish the reputation of the leader.
