Was this not the basic plot of the latest Bond flick?

What's funny about that is that it was based on a real case, and the real case was actually worse. The movie played things down a bit, to make them more believable.
Can you find a reference to the case you mention? Sounds worth reading.
It reminded me of one of the pitches in Brewster's Millions.

Yes, it was.
