New York, July 19 (ANI): Sexy Russian spy Anna Chapman is reportedly asking for a whopping 250,000 dollar to tell her story.
The sultry redhead is hoping to net a fortune from the story of how she infiltrated American society and has asked a London-based friend to secretly reach out to the media for a deal.
"Anna has lost her income. She has had to leave her real-estate business, and won't be getting any more money from the Russian government. She knows a media deal is her best way of earning money. It has even been suggested to her that she might pose for Playboy," the New York Post quoted a friend as saying.
"She hopes this translates into a book deal and movie rights, but how she is paid will have to be carefully controlled. The money cannot come directly to her, so she has suggested it goes to a friend's Swiss account," added the friend.
In her plea bargain with US authorities, Chapman agreed not to profit from her story and stipulated that any money she got would go to the federal government.
Chapman's lawyer, Robert Baum, told Newsweek, "She felt that the only source of income that she might have was based on her story."
"Remember, according to the provision, there is no prohibition against her talking. That would have been illegal. She just can't make money from it, or else the government will go after that money."
But now that she's back in Russia, Baum added, "there are obvious issues about the enforceability of that provision," he added. (ANI)
