      I did a bit of additional research on him. He was betrayed by a sleeper agent that infiltrated the CIA, named Karl Koecher.
      He was interviewed about a decade after Trigon's death, saying "I'm deeply sorry about that, but the people who did him in were the CIA and he himself. They recruited him in such a clumsy manner."
      Koecher is still alive in the Czech Republic.
      It's really unfortunate, but I guess that's just the way these things play out.

    I designed a retractable antenna mast for the CIA working out of the US Embassy in Panama. They wanted a way to raise an antenna above the Embassy roof when in use, but able to lower it when not in use.
    This mechanism was located on a ledge that was around the 2nd story of the Embassy and used winch to raise a telescoping mast above the roof of the three story tall embassy.
    I also taught Scuba Diving to Kyle “Dusty” Foggo, who I later found out became a Deputy Director of the CIA. He was involved in supplying arms to the Contras in Central America.

    Honestly, I really wonder why Hollywood doesn't use ANY of this. Let's take an example : I love the Jason Bourne franchise. But for goodness's sake - Matt Damon doesn't even try or bother putting on sunglasses, yet alone changing his appearance in any way, shape or form, for the entirety of the movies. At one point, it's kind of distracting how ridiculous the whole thing is. He is the perfect agent and still incredibly operational despite his amnesia, yet he can't even think of putting on a costume...?! Oh, come on! Plus this makes the story more interesting and the stakes higher in case he gets discovered. Same thing with James Bond : no costumes. Less distracting in Bond movies, much less, but still.

      It may be that Matt Damon is an expensive actor and they wanted to get their money's worth by keeping his face visible. Same for other expensive actors. If this does at least partially contribute, I would of course rather it didn't.
