Wow. Unreal how treacherous Walker was.
“John Anthony Walker, Jr. (born July 28, 1937 in Washington D.C.)[1] is a former Warrant Officer and communications specialist for the U.S. Navy convicted for selling his services as a spy to the Soviet Union from 1968 to 1985, the height of the Cold War era.[2] Walker pleaded guilty in late 1985 as part of a plea arrangement whereby he offered testimony on co-conspirator Jerry Whitworth, provided details of his espionage activities and negotiated more lenient treatment for his son, Michael Walker.[2] During his time as a spy, Walker helped the Soviets decipher over two hundred thousand classified encrypted naval messages,[citation needed] organizing a spy operation that The New York Times reported in 1987 “is sometimes described as the most damaging Soviet spy ring in history.”[3]”
