<strong>The</strong> <strong>Big</strong> <strong>Breach</strong>; From Top Secret to Maximum SecurityCompliments <strong>of</strong> http://www.192.comclaimed his economics degree, proved with a G/REP forged certificate.From my experience at MIT, I knew a small university in Boston, theMassachusetts Community College, which had gone out <strong>of</strong> business, and soawarded Huntley a MBA from there. <strong>The</strong>reafter, drawing on records fromCompanies House, I invented a CV in a series <strong>of</strong> small companies andconsultancies which all went bankrupt shortly after Huntley supposedlyleft, then fudged tax records in the DSS computer to match his career.Huntley needed a plausible current occupation. <strong>The</strong> usual practice is t<strong>of</strong>ront the BCA (business cover address) in a highstreet businessansweringservice; a modest subscription secures a mailing address anda receptionist to answer incoming calls. <strong>The</strong>ir disadvantage is thatthey could be too easily checked by the FSB. For my purpose, a morerobust BCA was needed.CF maintained a list <strong>of</strong> small companies whose managing director wasprepared to vouch that an MI6 <strong>of</strong>ficer was a bona-fide employee, andthey suggested a small Sussex investment company, East EuropeanInvestment, which worked in Czechoslovakia, Poland and Hungary, but notRussia. This gave perfect cover; they had no track record in Russiathat I could be quizzed about, but it would be plausible if AlexHuntley were to start exploring business opportunities there. I went tosee the managing director and he took me on as a consultant.<strong>The</strong> bones <strong>of</strong> my false life were in place, but they needed fleshing out.Regularly using my Huntley credit card built up a realistic spendingpattern on the bills, and consultancy `payments' from East EuropeanInvestment into my bank account ensured that it would appear realisticto inspection. My alias documentation was beefed up with miscellaneous`wallet litter', forged … la carte by G/REP. I chose membership cardsto Tramps and Annabel's nighclubs, and Sarah and I spent some enjoyableevenings ensuring that Alex Huntley was familiar to the doormen.My file on Huntley was now bulging with plausible information, but somegenuine Argentine documents would be useful. MI6 <strong>of</strong>ten obtains and usesgenuine documentation from friendly liaison services such as the Danesand Austrians for `false flag operations'. <strong>The</strong> station in Buenos Aireshad just entered into a tetchy liaison relationship with the Argentinesecurity service, so I fired <strong>of</strong>f an ATHS telegram asking whether SIDEmight provide Huntley with documentation. I expected a swift and curtresponse ridiculing my idea, but H/BUE, an enthusiastic <strong>of</strong>ficer, askedat the next liaison meeting. SIDE agreed and sent a genuine Argentinepassport, driving licence and identity card in the name Huntley. <strong>The</strong>documents arrived on my desk a fortnight later and I promptly lent themto G/REP so that they could examine and photograph them for their filesin case it became necessary in the future to forge similar documents.It took just over two months to make the Huntley cover strong enough tosatisfy the scrutiny <strong>of</strong> Russel and Bidde, and I submitted the dossierfor examination by C/CEE. He wrote at the bottom <strong>of</strong> the report, `Anexcellent piece <strong>of</strong> work. This will be a solid foundation for future VCOoperations into Russia.' It was glowing praise and I was pleased withmy contribution.Meanwhile, Spencer was back from his own natural cover trip to Estonia.`MASTERWORK's a nutter!' he announced as he chucked his hand-luggage onto his desk. `Completely <strong>of</strong>f his rocker!
