Jeez, I was the one who posted about him last time, too!

Close enough to a double - mods, feel free to delete.

Even if it's a double, it's a hell of a yarn. I missed the first edition, so I'm glad I read this one.

Maybe he's just an agent that specializes in high, valued real estate?

You think that's bad.

If you enjoy the British "panel show as comedy format" thing, you may enjoy the relevant episode of Tom Scott and his friends (collectively The Technical Difficulties) covering this story on their youtube show Citation Needed.

I was recently reading about a couple of other prisoners who died at the federal penitentiary at Springfield, Missouri. Both were WWII traitors who took part in the Nazi propaganda broadcasts: Not sure what the moral of this story is, but I can tell you that it is not every day of the week you read about someone who died in the federal penitentiary in Springfield, Missouri . . .
