It is amazing how many betrayals and double crosses happened during World War II. One woman, Ikuko Toguri, was a Japanese American woman who was in Japan during the Pearl Harbor Attack. She stayed on and joined Radio Tokyo. A radio show, The Zero Hour, played anti-Allied forces rhetoric. Allied Forces came to call the taunting female voice, Tokyo Rose. After the war, she was found guilty of treason. Her sentence was later commuted by President Gerald Ford.

Boyce discovered some illegal and unethical practices from the CIA in Australia and other countries. He claims that he uncovered some documents as a result of misrouted cables from CIA head office. In the documents CIA wanted to remove Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam. Instead of going to the press, Boyce decided to gather these misrouted cables.
Once he had spy satellite development plans, ciphers, codes and other stuff he could sell, he decided to give it to Soviet Union in exchange for money.
