Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

"For me, what has been done, has strengthened the Revolution," Rocha allegedly said in one recorded meeting, bragging about his actions. "They underestimated what we could do to them. We did more than they thought."

An undercover employee for the bureau sent Rocha a note on WhatsApp claiming to have a message from "your friends in Havana" regarding a "sensitive matter."

Spycraft and anti-spycraft is nothing like in the movies. The Feds implicated him by making contact over WhatsApp like low-level fucking scammers.

This should become a bit.

Yeah but they only succeed after 40 years. He probably bought a Cuban sandwich and winked and said “thank you comrade” and the cashier reported it to the FBI lol

Yeah, you have to admire the long run. I wonder if he is the longest running spy. It's just what got him that is a damn embarrassment.

He kept it up for over 40 years and is now 73. If I were him, I'd try to get caught right around now because it's now or never if he wants credit in the history books as a final fk you.

Minimum security federal prison for white collar crimes isn't any worse than the average nursing home in the US. Anyway, he's old enough that even if he is sent to prison (which will be federal), he will qualify for a compassionate release very shortly.
