- Before Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning, the largest theft of government secrets was committed by an awkward, unassuming, American intelligence agent: Brian Patrick Regan.
In this talk, award-winning author Yudhijit Bhattacharjee takes a probing look at how a learning disability, a lifetime of ridicule, and a serious cash shortage shaped Brian Regan’s decision to betray his country.
Get his new book - "The Spy Who Couldn’t Spell: A Dyslexic Traitor, an Unbreakable Code, and the FBI’s Hunt for America’s Stolen Secrets" now available on Amazon.

Great speaker, was completely Impartial and respectful talking about a guy whom most in his profession would not miss the chance to slide in every insult , epiphet and pejorative they could get away with. It's Human Nature as a coping mechanism to diminish other people to elevate or remove focus from oneself, but this guy chose to give credit where it was due and focus more on the positive sides to Regan and give both sides of the story and let the viewer decide. I think people could learn alot from this Authors' presentation style indeed.
He kept it professional.
Absolutely riveting. Was there ever a movie made about this?
Excellent talk with a great speaker. Just wish we were shown the video, and that the irritating background noise in the first half be cancelled out. Hopefully your new building will have better soundproofing.

Yes, too bad the video portion shown to the audience wasn't shared here. I would hv liked to have seen the discovery of the toothbrush holder containing the docs. Also, finding the Tupperware container with the documents. What a bummer 🤦♀️.
great - pity you hid the slides
I Spy no slides
Another great talk on a topic I'd never heard of. Thank you.
Exactly!!
This is such a captivating story, well told.
What this talk is not telling you is Printer steganography ( miniature Yellow dots) is the reason they identified him at first. It was top secret at the time (1999) but every HP, Canon and Xerox copier has printed a secret watermark since the 1980s. It only became common knowledge in 2004. Regan printed thousands of copies on his office printer and these were examined under a magnification showing the serial number of the device plus date and time.
This hurt his family , felt so bad for his father....
ik.. but it started with his manager not disclosing everuthing 😢
At 5:28 on the page of highlighted misspelled words, they forgot to highlight 'CONTRABUTIONS', 6th line from the bottom.
Bankers have to have flawless personal accounts checked daily to work around money. Since intelligence has extraordinary value, the personal finances of anyone handling intelligence needs to be scrutinized before clearance. Selling secrets, and cooking the books is apparently very tempting to the financially insecure.
Personal finances are one of the main things that are checked when you get a security clearance, for exactly the reason you state.
"Bankers have to have flawless personal accounts checked daily" source please?
They do. But once you get your clearance that is really only checked every so often prior to this.
@@MikeF1189 Personal relative who was a credit analysis, could lose the job if late on credit payments, or if negative balance on personal accounts. First thing in morning, check your own personal credit, before investigating another's credit. Good Advise!
Policy of relative. Better than losing job, if personal credit isn't flawless. Guessing computer flagged problems.
@@kaydonahueHighly subjective from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Levels of enforcement also ranging widely. You would be surprised with the crap you can get away with.
(Lawyer here, have had some experiences shared with me from banking professionals a while back. There’s a range from frightening scrutiny to laughable oversight, as there is in basically every sector)
Great talk!
25:02 "Regan, oblivious to all of this, is looking at images that, er, he shouldn't be looking at."
Man, that's a bad time to be browsing porn at work.
lol
What is a good time to be browsing porn at work?
A personality test that specifically targets integrity and loyalty, may be of great help to all Governments world wide . It is abundantly clear, that EVEN individuals who are experiencing financial duress, would in no way whatsoever, brake the law or betray their beloved country.
Great story...very well told!
Pity you don't show the slides when the author is commenting on them. 😞
The burning question in my mind is why anyone would have a sticky note with their own name on it. 😑
Very fascinating story about a spy you don't hear much about. Well balanced presentation by the speaker. But the person in charge of the video camera should never tape another show. What's the point of showing us the speaker looking at a video clip on the big screen? "Here is a video clip of how they found it". And what do we see? How the speaker watches speech- and motionless the people finding the stuff. Wow.
INTERESTING
VERY GOOD INVESTIGATION
Too bad we couldn't see the presentations on the screen
Crazy like a fox,not sure whether to laugh or cry
What about taking stuff out in his gym bag. Horrible security.
Fisa?????
Ironclad????????

ask President Trump and his Team how Low the Bar Was Set.

The spy who couldn't spell (his own name) - Yudhijit Bhattacharjee
Looks more like a cryotographic 'hash' than a name ...
That'sthe name of the author of the book. You'd know if you could read
@@galusha51 That's the speaker, duh. He is the speaker and the author. Jeez. Aaron was making a joke.
This guy Regan would have made a great coder.
Over $100k in credit card debt is not huge????????????????????????????

That's hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
jack is bad Thanc Gaud
cia didnt even compensate fir the tort damages
English being my second language, I didn't catch what the audience laughed at @49：41, I would appreciate if anyone would help me share the laugh
The cops were looking to dig up a box of documents but they could not pin point the exact location and had dug a much larger area than intended. A curious passer by rang up to ask if the were planning on building a walmart there. This because to build a walmart shopping complex you would need to dig up a very large area to put concrete and building foundations down.
That is what the audience was laughing at. I was laughing at snorting pigs rooting, scratching and digging in the ground being as think as pigshit.
@@sp769 Thank you Sam for your kind explanation. I would probably ask if they were digging for Terracotta.
He could spell is that he just didn't want too get cought
"to" and "caught", Brian.
LOL. That's good code your usin.
"You're Not Smart Enough to Counter-Act", you say! Well, SMART is not necessary to COUNTER-ACT-U, because: "YOU HAVE VERY little INTELLIGENCE!" Under-Stood?"

I'm sorry about this, but... CAAANN YUUUDHIJIIIIIT?
27:00 dyslexia and arrogance lol
The main speaker is a regular, 100% American.
The bad speller was trained by abuse and was able to get away with more. You'll naturally do things. As a tard, 'I'm always being hunted. I get out of traps easily. "The Mummy."
maybe he just had a cutting edge pc and his coworkwrs couldnt help set any of it up without ilthe environment crashing every second of his working day. systematic entrapmemt
so downloading locally was a way to diagnose it since nobody helped
Not surprised he couldn't spell with a name like that! Lol.

OSTAP BENDER CND you have no room to talk my friend. Your writings are completely nonsensical and unintelligible. Even the underlying “insults” are the kind of thing I’d expect to see from a young child of maybe 5-7 years old. You’d be better served to spend your time improving the immense flaws you have yourself and spend less time making theses stupid comments like you do.
My dream job .. becoming a spy 😥😥 guess I won't be able to check that from my list ... on a side note ... that dude was not only bad at spelling but also dumb
This one hour presentation by the author does not do justice to the story. Obviously in one hour you can't provide the details, content, and time line perspective for the players in this story. The best this presentation could do is whet your appetite to read the book.
A few minutes perusing the internet fills in some of the blanks; if you're looking for a treatise on the subject of spies and spying this isn't it in the first place ...
rfkcous you don’t think, that maybe in some crazy plot to actually sell some books and thus not give up all the information in it he chose to make the presentation a short overview so people would buy the the book if they wanted to know more? Surely not, why would he wanna sell books? He probably doesn’t like to eat or anything.....
Why do the stories about dumb guys bring all the idiots to the comment section?
Whoever talking in the halls in background is annoying
Tell Donald Trump.
Dr. Amen should be consulted to study what was wrong with Reagan's brain.
Reagan had high IQ
Before all laugh he cant spell
Maybe take one look at his working abilities
re: "Maybe take one look at his working abilities"
We're all wondering about YOU right about now ...
uploadJ seriously this poor spelling moron is all over the comment section with this juvenile crap. It would be funny if it wasn’t so annoying.
Clearly he’s not working with a full deck either but he brings the abuse on himself.
I'm not for one side. I want to make them all pay dearly.
Would have been much better with professional camera work. 👎
Such an unpronounceable name! What??
This guy isn't too bright? I would hate to be in his shoes. It looks like this guy has no more Christmases to look forward to?
Nov 3 on CNN , watch the Brian Regan story on declassified! :) WATCH NOV 3, 2019 !!!!
Bright....brilliant mind

I am now unsubscribed. I saw one of the series yesterday which featured two old guys speaking dreadfully slowly The only interesting part was some blonde throwing a hissy However I refuse to watch presentations where the camera work doesn’t follow the screen which the audience are watching…movie clips..The editing director or whatever should be fired Completely spoiled it for me . I’m out of here…..downvote and unsubscribed …..bye
