Perhaps you remember the story of Don Johnson, yes, that Don Johnson, caught at the German border with 8 BILLION (yes, Billion!) dollars!
Ok, it wasn’t really 8 billion, it was financial paperwork about 8 billion in transactions; and it wasn’t his, and it was all about (supposedly) financing a film, but still… that’s not how it appeared in the press when the story blew up.
Well, even the head of a top intelligence agency couldn’t figure out how to keep his email secret. . . .
