    - classified $10M payment to a convicted trafficker and escaped prisoner

    The British government secretly wired ten million dollars to a convicted arms trafficker and fugitive who was living under British protection-money that remained classified for decades and helped keep Spain out of Hitler’s orbit; how did Juan March Ordinas, a peasant’s son and expelled schoolboy, become indispensable to governments and avoid ever being charged as a spy?

    In this episode, we tell the story of Juan March Ordinas from his birth in a small Mallorcan village to his rise as a smuggler, financier, and one of the world’s richest men, and we trace the events that led Winston Churchill’s government to authorize a classified payment-what choices and bargains made that possible?

    Person: Juan March Ordinas
    Date of birth: October 4, 1880
    Event: Classified $10,000,000 payment by British government
    Conviction: 1931 convictions for financial irregularities, tobacco trafficking, and arms trafficking
    Island: Cabrera expropriated after provisioning Austro-Hungarian submarines

    - March bribed a Civil Guard to escape prison and fled to Gibraltar under British protection.
    - In 1916 he founded Trasmediterránea, a shipping company during World War I.
    - By 1961 Time magazine profiled him as the Iberian Croesus.
    - At death he was assessed as the seventh-richest man in the world and owned works by Goya, Velázquez, Picasso, and Van Gogh.
    - His family’s reported worth today stands above $5,000,000,000.

  • The Night a Drunk Diplomat Dropped Britain's Secrets on the Pavement
    2026/08/05
    The Night a Drunk Diplomat Dropped Britain's Secrets on the Pavement

    A near-miss in 1951: a top-secret Foreign Office file fell on a London pub pavement and a drunk man picked it up and walked away, unnoticed - yet by that evening the file was gone and the man remained employed. How could five men from Cambridge hand the Soviet Union more than 16,000 classified documents without a single prosecution, and what was the cost to Western intelligence?

    In this episode, we trace the origins and careers of the five Cambridge men who penetrated British and American intelligence: where they met, how they recruited one another, and the scale of the documents they passed - asking how conviction, access, and institutional failure combined to let this network flourish.

    Person: Anthony Blunt
    Person: Guy Burgess
    Person: Donald Maclean
    Person: Harold Adrian Russell Philby
    Person: John Cairncross

    - In 1951, a top-secret government file was dropped on a pub pavement in London and picked up by a drunk man who returned it to his coat and walked away.
    - The Cambridge network handed the Soviet Union more than 16,000 classified documents between them.
    - Between 1941 and 1945, Cairncross passed 5,832 documents; Burgess passed 4,605; Maclean passed 4,593; Blunt passed 1,771; Philby passed more than 900.
    - In 1945 alone, Guy Burgess passed 489 Foreign Office documents to his Soviet handlers in a few months.
    - Yuri Modin, the KGB controller, reported that approximately half of the material delivered by the Five was never read by Moscow.
