You Haven't Made it BIG in Finance Until the Russians Send Sexy Super-Model Spies to Keep Tabs On You

That's right folks, although it sounds like a shitty episode of Alias, the Russians have infiltrated our ranks!

Unless you've been under a rock or spending your time working for a living, you've probably heard about the government busting all those Russian spies in NYC last Sunday (challenge: try saying that with a straight face).

One of them, Anna Chapman (pictured), had supposedly worked at a Hedge Fund in London, while another spy had seduced a “New York-based financier active in politics” (Dealbreaker.com). Any ideas on who the marked man was?

I can't speak in regards to their undoubtedly diabolical motives, but if all the spies looked like Anna, I might have been willing to go undercover as well (see what I did there).

All I know is that you guys on the Street should be keeping your eyes out for Daniel Craig, as M has surely sent 007 to Manhattan to save us.
