Yeah, the money went to Katianna the cleaning lady at the embassy and the story about the $15m spy cat was to cover up how they got the information.
I'd be okay with that if true
The cleaning lady was actually a soviet honeypot named Nickloi who only slept with his targets with the lights off.
Where the cat? Oh, um, it got run over by a car.
