Thread: Report: CIA paid Iranian $5 m. for intel

Shahram Amiri, the Iranian nuclear scientist who claims to have been kidnapped by the CIA, was paid over $5 million to provide information on Iran's nuclear program, The Washington Post reported.

U.S. officials told The Washington Post that Amiri was paid for "significant cooperation" with the agency. Officials thought he may have left the US abruptly out of concern that the Iranian government would harm his family.

Amiri is not obligated to return the money he was paid by the CIA, but may not be able to access it, due to the sanctions on Iran.

"He's gone, but his money's not," a US official told The Washington Post. "We have his information, and the Iranians have him."

US officials told The Washington Post that they were shocked by Amiri's request to be sent home after over a year of working with the CIA.

I got a feeling that I know what is going to happen to this guy.... Very surprised he went back.

Do you think they will hang him, shoot him, torture him, put him in jail and beat him everyday, or you think he will just disappear and be forgotten?
