If we define "serious" as "conventional" or "mainstream",

Far from it. The "conventional" wisdom is that Angleton was a paranoid flake.

However, if you did a little deeper into serious research that is far from the case.

I have "googled" the topic quite a bit, a well as reading from many other sources. No serious person that I know of has suggested than Angleton was a soviet spy.

A paranoid flake, yes, but not a treasonous or disloyal one; in other words, not a mole. Your statement does not contradict my point.

The following excerpt comes from a profile of James Jesus Angleton posted on the Spartacus Educational Website:

"Clare Edward Petty, of the ultra-secret Special Investigation Group (SIG)... became suspicious of Angleton and decided to carry out a private investigation into his past. ... As a result of his investigation, Petty concluded that there was an '80-85 percent probability' that Angleton was a Soviet mole."
