US Busts Alleged Russian Spy Ring In Manhattan
Federal prosecutors in New York charged three men in an alleged Russian spy ring centered in Manhattan and the Bronx, according to a Jan. 23 complaint unsealed today by the office of Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara. According to CNN's Shimon Prokupecz, Evgeny Buryakov, working with Igor Sporyshev and Victor Podobnyy, was trying to recruit NYC residents as intelligence sources for the Russian Federation.

While pure speculation, this gentleman - a New York-based Russian banker with the same name - appears to be the recruiter...

The Russians should be more like those peace loving Jihadi's.....
All the Russians need to do is come here to ZH and ask. I'm sure some here would volunteer to deliver the intel on the big fascist fuckup that is the US government.
Markets soo free you need a spy to decipher them....or just ask here. Question for russians....why spy on the bankrupt? They arent and dont care.
RIPS
Was Buryakov wearing a bad wig like the American the Russians caught in 2013?

Shameless plug for the TV series
I like "The Americans." It's better than a lot of the crap that's on TV.
Well that explains Boris' absence.
pods
That Russian “spy” must’ve been selling illegal cigarettes on the street corner ;-)
Looney
Will Russian Americans be locked up like the Japanese Americans in WW2? I know Americans will be in camp, but Russian Americans in camps is a wildcard?
RIPS
Only the Gentile Russians.
..or maybe they were trying to infiltrate the CIA drug smuggling and distribution operation?
Total Bull Shit story imo.
Any info you want from anywhere can be had by hiring a hacker according to some "experts" on NPR talking about cyber security. Esp the Russians who are some of the world's smartest computer folks, they said.
It would be more believable if they claimed the Russkies were trying to steal Ballet dance moves or our pierogi recipes.
Russians will simply respond by shutting down more merikans corps over there like McDonalds, citing "code violations."
Asking questions and being Russian makes you a spy in the "land of the free".
Nyet true comrade!
Asking questions and being AMERIKANSKI makes you spy in the "land of the free" these days.
We is kidd not you
DA!
Is time for clean beautiful 1952 Tula SKS and to drink good Russian vodka.
I bet they were trying to steal S&P data, ya know, the secret equations S&P used to transconfabulate subprime junk into AAA+ investments.
Oh come on pods, Boris was faking the whole "russian" thing.
He was entertaining though, I'll give you that.
Boris is, how you say, sly like fox.
What better cover than to be a russian pretending to be an american pretending to be a russian.
pods
Heh, yeah, that's possible. Too bad he doesn't post much lately.
He was a funny dude.
How about a muslim pretending to be a christian pretending to be a president?
is there an app for that, you know, just to keep all the stories straight?
Oh wait..... the teleprompter..... gotcha... :)
Alatovkrap?
assisted by Ivor Bigun?
Is that like walking around the big vat at the waste treatment facility looking for "the good stuff"???
I like "The Americans." It's better than a lot of the crap that's on TV.
Gotta check out Hannibal. Best show I've seen in years. Thought provoking. Beautifully shot and scored. Actors killing it in every scene. It's masterpiece theatre with more interesting subject matter plus murder, blood and gore. And the violence is presented with a reality that makes the sanitized CSI shows that much more offensive.
I'd prefer to see the spin-off version: "The Isramericans".
Decades of blatant spying, subterfuge and total infiltration in the halls of finance, influence and power.
Many roles to fill, but even more actors to pick from for screening, and copious candidates for the directing and producing. Lots of roles for fill-in fall-guys too.
"Isramerica" - It would be filmed in Israel with US Grant money from the Dept. of Education and Labor Department funds for educating Americans. All things done wrong immediately get attributed to Palestinians locked in the ten square miles they still are permitted to occupy, when they're not being bombed by (everyone say it in unison please) "The Only Democracy and Our Greatest Ally in the Middle East." Now, repeat, and pay your taxes.
If the bubushka dont fit, you musta quit!
We always used that term to describe a lady's rather unkempt nether region.
Just picture Bob Ross going down on a lady and you have a "babooshka."

"...and right here, we'll put a happy little bush."
The world lost a lot of happy little trees when it lost Bob Ross. RIP.......
A very-large Russian emigree population in NYC: it very-well could be that these Russians are spying on other Russians. Or not.
Russian is used in the New York subway system
I think you just volunteered for a midnight raid. Say your good-byes....
This just in: NSA/FBI create pretense for MORE domestic monitoring....No film at 11.
or.... More reasons the evil Ruskies are just ASKING for WWIII !
after all TPTB haven't managed to get war with Iran going - despite a Gulf of Tonkin speedboat redux, and full out war in Syria seems to be a no starter - even with the new bogeyman ISIS. Seems like the Ukraine - despoiled by evil Russians is the latest effort - complete with questionable aircraft shoot down
Well I'm Russian. Bun I wannas sleep alredy very much. What should I agree| approove or deny?
Hi guys! Your country is great! - The problem is your TPTB are gonna kil us all.
And we would surely try to blow back. That is al shit.
And our government are shit. But to be killed from a nice gyues like yuo are - that is not a good chance Id like.
Best wishes from this side of the pool )) The same shit here
They were doing a research project trying to find out how they became Capitalists and we're being run by fucking Communists.
Russia spying on the Bronx. Yeah ok.
"Intell in the Bronx" -- LMFAO!!! Yes, yes, trying to share the latest "how to sell back market cigarettes" I am sure. Man, have we been overpaying these fucks at the CIA/FBI or what?
shhhh. your supposed to be scared. Those damn Mcarthy's and Rosenburg pinko fag commie infiltrators. Ah just like the good old days.
Actually, McCarthy was right and should have been listened to further.
Now the pinko fag commies have infiltrated our entire federal government.
We lost.
this is a serious fucking problem.
No worries...
"Full faith and credit".
...as in, when you trade partners eventually realize that there is no fucking accountablity in dealing with you, they simple tell you to go fuck yourself...
@ LawOfPhsics,
""Full Faith & Credit?" Hmmm, where have I've heard that False Narrative before. Oh yea,
All based on the Criminal Fraud UNITED STATES, CORP. INC. "Full faith $ Credit" of The American Peoples souls / Birth Cert which are nothing more than financial instruments / Bonds secruritized & traded Slaves on the Global markets.
amazing how long it takes for people to catch on huh?
Other than maybe Obozo and his moms boyfriend these are not commies. These are fascist NAzis. But yes McCarthy might have had a point.
The only thing we are missing at this point is for Hitllary to start a Beerhall Puscht.
McCarthy was a precursor to the Big Brother government. Frankly, I don't care what color it is.
Juicy... are they sure these 3 weren't foreign buyers of overpriced Manhattan real estate?
"Just spent ten million on a duplex and they want those dollars back."
You should hear the stories coming out of Miami.
"...was part of ring attempting to collect economic intelligence..."
I call bullshit. There's no real economic data in Manhattan. Only fakery.
Seriously, like we don't give everyone the formula for free 30 times a day:
Ctrl-P.
"...was part of ring attempting to collect economic intelligence..."
Shit, if the Commies wanted real Economic Intelligence it's just a click away here on ZeroHeadge.
The Russians have someone America want.
Russians trying to recruit Americans to get 'economic intelligence' !?!?
Seems like an oxymoron given the current state of the US. Nothing 'intelligent' about the current state of US economics - unless you're talkign about our ability to construct a Potemkin Economy where appearancs are everythign - with no substance behind the claims.
Barry will use his secret torture method; sit them in a library and force them to read the Obamacare Law -- all friggin 1,200 pages ... and trhen, worse to come, explain it to Plastic Pelosi, Face-to-Face ... wicked and defininitely against the geneva convention rules against inhumane treatment !
USA! USA! USA!

Gawd-damn it - took it right outta my head... I guess I could add: "You're a Great American...!!!"
Smells like setting up a new McCarthyism era.
Right? The day after the "Out Of My Face Please" Englich speaking mystery soldier??
Orlov weighs in today with "Panic in Kiev"...
http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2015/01/panic-in-kiev.html#more
I can't imagine why that Ukrainian site would have pulled down the article.
I mean, for it to be reported by the free press, it has to be something.
Maybe it's like Dmitry is saying with the title...panic?
FWIW...the grip on that mystery guys AK looks like it might be a Hogue (American made)
Again?
Can you imagine if these were spies from Iran or any other Muslim country the US tries to villify? We'd bomb them by 11pm tonight.
All Travel Agents will be checked.
Meanwhile, in Moscow...
they dont get google?

Anna Chapman I love you. Come back to America and be my cow.
Speaking of "busted"
I don't normally give up arrows, but when I do.....
Stay Thirsty my friends.

Damn! if that's genuine!!!
Miss Chapmann looks rather fit and must be doing well these days if that picture is recent!
What a fine looking red with a pair of ... "greens" on the side!
Intelligent, good-looking redheads are my kryptonite.
Looks a bit tranny, but what the hell...
mmmmmm, Anna Chapman.
Spasibo, tovarisch H_H.
Can I vote more than once? Too bad I'm not an illegal, otherwise I would.
With a few props i'd like to think that ' Vichy Vicky ' could compete with that.
I would.
Yeah, but what about the mofos in office? Until THEY are busted, don't waste my time.
Wait, what!? There's intelligence in economics? Whoa...
Yeah...
I think it was organized by this guy with the help of Langley who also speaks "Russian"!
1) Greek F-16 crashes after most important election in the Country's history to remove itself from "fire sale" status of the EU!
2) S&P downgrades the Ruble to "junk"
3) Now a spy ring revealed in Manhattan!
Banner day in "panic" U.S.A.!
It could be retaliation for the arrest of that operative, although that incident and the subsequent announcement of the identity of the Moscow station chief by the FSB was almost two years ago. Seems a bit dated given the developments that have occurred in the interim.

sdt
Trust me on this, it's the ones you never hear about that are the biggest deal...
Case in point. After Saudi Arabia's Prince Bandar became the errand boy for McLean and Tel Aviv with that message to Putin that he could provide protection during Russia's winter olympic games if he would only :"sign on the dotted line" to put Assad on the dinner plate!
Then came the train bombings in Volgograd shortly thereafter!...
Just ask yourself how many Saudis and Chechens "checked out" after that episode?!!!
Anybody heard from Bandar "Bush" lately?!!!
Recruit NYC "residents" to obtain "intelligence" ?
Will these Russians be subjected to enhanced interrogation?
"Alleged", being the key word here...have to keep the sheep fearful.
I think GS has a few guys on the Russia payroll
What about Neel Kashkari and his Bulgarian connections? http://www.speakersbulgaria.com/2011/07/20/neel-kashkari-speaker/
Ahhhh, Jesus...this shit again?
At least the media bought in a long time ago with the new series (The Americans) airing.
Only 3, better check the cia, fbi, congress, senate and vegas.
How exactly does a Russian spy act? And what's illegal about it?
How do you say "Ya its called due dilligence" in Russian?
isn't collecting economic intelligence legal? Yes
Isn't that what S&P & Moody's claim to do? Yes
Or is this some sort of Russian credit card scam?
They were caught red-handed with a fresh copy of the Wall Street Journal.
Four others were carrying the NY Times and were immediately released.
"was trying to recruit NYC residents as intelligence sources for the Russian Federation."
Moewhah, i read "intelligent sources".
Sorry, wrong place.
Yes indeed...
I wonder where alll those Russian speaking Ukrainian ex-pats are these days working inside the U.S. since the internet jobs dried up more than 10 years ago???!
Probably shuffled onto those government cleared jobs I'll bet working in D.C. and Manhattan among many military installations both CONUS/OCONUS since 9/11?!!!
"Sleeper Cells R' US"!!!
The convenience is too obvious.
I wonder what exciting intel you can gather on the streets of Manhattan and the Bronx?
....just a little payback for mopping the ground with American Merc's blood in Crimea over the last week.
FBI evidence leak: the cohorts were conspiring with a known terrorist spy when one of their Facebook jokes got a LIKE from Edward Snowden, case closed.
Thank God that the NSA took time off from the porn sites to make those citizen arrests. We're SAVED.
The Russians were probably trying to find out the recipe for a 'Coffee Regulah'.
The propaganda continues...
Considering those who the DOJ appears to actually serve and protect... if this is not a case of counter-intelligence theater, perhaps they were getting too close to documenting the truth? ROFL.
The Russians were probably trying to find out who stole their trading algorithms
FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE CORZINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Russian spy is code word for Israeli spy... Just like after 9/11 FBI used the term "meditarean looking" which is also code word for Israeli as they do not want to piss off their tribal masters...
Mike Lima out.
expect some blackwater mercs to start gettin' "taken out " of faces in ukieland.
If someone wants to "collect economic intelligence" all it has to do is watch Bloomberg Busness.
I cannot believe the US govt is so desperate. Mr. Putin has turned Washington into an Insane assylum.
Arkham Asylum

jewz....Shimon and Co
Not wonder Bronx is the most prosperous county in the Nation. How is the government still funding the FBI?
If he wasn't living in Brighton Beach he wan't a real Russian.
You all are ruski spies!
Their plan was to front run the NY Fed's buying of SnP futures.
I thought they owned the Brooklyn Nets?
The 26 page Evgeny Buryakov Federal complaint is quite interesting. It appears that Igor Sporyshev and Victor Podobnyy were working as official Russian trade representative or at the UN under official cover and thus enjoyed diplomatic immunity, apparently both have left the US, while Evgeny Buryakov was under SVD (old KGB) deep cover, “illegal” at that Russian bank in NYC, It is also know as NOC or non official cover, most CIA officers work under official state department cover called official cover, like that American with the yellow wig, Ryan Christopher Fogle arrested in Moscow in May 2013.. He was not arrested because he had diplomatic immunity and was thus expelled from Russaia.
Buryakov was similar to the CIA officer Valerie Plame who was working under Non Official cover until she was exposed
Look to see American “businessmen” in Moscow to be arrested shortly, also I expect the RT office in the US will be closed on some pretext just as the British closed down Press TV in the UK
But BBC still runs :D
sure. right after they caught us in ukraine.
we both do it, so US can't claim moral high ground here.
I've yet to see any foreign policy for which we haven't claimed the moral high ground in our history. Same goes for domestic policy. Politicians = bullshitters.
How many fake Russian spies does it take to acquire/trade for one Edward Snowden?
How is it, Yen Cross, that you've only got two thumbs-up for that one? One was mine.
I thought, perhaps, it was the most logical comment of the lot.Odd!
On another note, if they were to arrest the 500 Russian Medicare and Medicaid Scams running rampant in Brooklyn, we could cut NYS Taxes by about 25%. Seriously, according to a 2012 study:
"New York's Medicaid program is by far the largest, most extensive, and most expensive in the country," the report said. The Empire State spends more of its own money, as opposed to federal funds, on Medicaid than Florida, Texas and Pennsylvania combined, according to the report. Spending per enrolee was $9,056 in 2009, or 69 percent higher than the national average of $5,337.
If you live in Brighton Beach, you can make $100 / day by going to the clinic with your benefits card and sitting through a sonogram, blood test, MRI, CT Scan and about 20 other tests. The Russian Psuedo Doctors bill thousands and the taxpayers reimburse them for 100% healthy patients. It's #1 of the many scams Russians abuse the shit out of in NY. Fuckers.
How pathetic... HFT apparently is a new thing in Russia...

It's the ' old adage' that if you throw enough 'shit' out there, hopefully some sticks.
Geez, not only Ukraine government sees Russians everywhere, now US too. It seems that even those who never had one lost their mind. Sad, very sad.
Tons of Russkie dicksuckers here.
Your wife didn't tell me she was Russian, the filthy slag that she is/was!
Travel outside of the beltway... you may find that the preponderance of sheep have woken up and any fear they may have had has turned to anger, disgust and outrage.
The western oligarchs and their political minions have violated the Moral Law as described by Sun Tzu, in The Art of War.
Their defeat is inevitable.
Headline should read: "US Decides to Publicize Bust of Alleged Russian Spy Ring In Manhattan"
Because Headlines go into the indexes of the search engines. The more the better. Useful to establish a pattern of criminal Headlines, and it is cheaper than sinking the Lusitania
Google search algorithms, the politician's friend
Ever post on RT? You're a spy.

The X American response to yet another failed Ukraine false flag intended to draw Russia into WWIII.
Was he wearing a Putin mask for disguise when he captred ?
It seems to me that the quality of Russian espionage agents abroad is much lower than in the days of the Soviet Union.I once knew a person who was working in a big multi million dollar fund in one of the countries of the former Soviet Union, he told me that his classmates at his university who went into intelligent work make much less money than people working in the private sector. The Soviet Union got the crème de la crème for people working in intelligence
The real "spies" can be found at the Federal Reserve bank.
Thought they were clowns? ROFL!
bronx ..... who was he recruiting... the latin kings....ms13....
hey igor .... were sending you on a top level mission in a primo area... to the bronx....
all the hot money went to the bronx after brighton beach... riverdale... enroute to a swiss bank...
so its all about money laundering.... get some counsel from mr bernanke and tiny tim.... and the imf guy who fucked the maid... and his bald headed bitch wife... who probably watched while sliding up and down on a nyc fire hydrant sized electronic ultrasonic dildo.....
hey wasn't it the russians who alerted us 3 times to the tsarnov scumbags.... oh well
let's have fatass retard hitlary clintoon give the reset button that actually read OVERCHARGE... another one of her many accomplishments.... hey duck i hear sniper shots ...whew close one...
bendover barry bathhouse boy gives the ruskies al the intel they need .... for free... the rest is for show... so vlad can give the ayatollahs the real deal icbm mirvs..... meantime the beat goes on in the ukraine... and chicken shit plays out in the USSA... bravo
russia and iran will nuke israel right after the orthadox kick the muzzies off the temple mount......
and half the democrats in congress are commies ...... including the black congressional caucus minus ONE..
The Ruskies are all over the US. A friend said he was threaten in Oregon by some Russian mob guys when he was making a ton in his construction business.
.
Those aren't Russian mobsters, they're tax assessors. And yeah, they're all over the US.
I'm pretty sure there are quite a few people on ZH who gather economic intelligence and recruit people for their blogs on a daily basis. Is that called espionage nowadays?
Things are getting seriously surreal.
Fuck you've just blown my cover! What's a blog?
Understandable that the Russians would want to expand their own sources given the amount of bullmanure flying around.
