GRAPEVINE, Page 17Move Over, M.B.A.s
By JANICE CASTRO
A growing number of spies in the U.S. are specializing in
stealing business information. Operatives from Russia, China,
Vietnam and Cuba have been joined by agents from Japan, Western
Europe, the Arab nations and several other countries. The FBI
also reports that onetime KGB operatives are going into joint
ventures with Western companies. It is not clear in many cases
whether they are seeking cover to steal classified information
or simply trying to learn the tricks of the commercial trade.
Says Wayne Gilbert, chief of FBI counter intelligence: "They're
used to dealing in the international community, so they make
very desirable employees."
