Chinese Spies Infiltrate Fed Through 'Inside Man' Scheme

China's aggressive plot to infiltrate one of the United States' most important institutions has come to light, courtesy of a CNBC documentary. The documentary, 'Inside Man: How Chinese Spies Used Lies, Love and Betrayal to Target the Fed,' details the incredible saga of a Chinese spy's effort to obtain secrets from the inner confines of the Federal Reserve.

The story revolves around former Fed economist John Rogers, who befriended a Chinese intelligence officer posing as an economics student in 2013. The Chinese agent spent over a decade enmeshing himself into Rogers' life and became one of his most trusted friends to learn detailed information about the Fed.

Rogers' unwitting involvement raises questions about whether he was a spy himself or merely an unsuspecting dupe caught up in the espionage game.
