    Typically you would not have access to the “money” part to maintain your cover. Never be allowed to chill, because chill agents end up in prison.

      Sorry for the double reply and I this is shower thoughts not anything scientific. So I’m only being half serious not suggesting I’ll join the cia.

      I do have to argue “chill” people don’t get caught at all. That’s what separates a sleeper agent from a spy or espionage agent.

      Sleeper agents are just waiting and being a normal dude

      But I’ll be out up in place where my job will pay for my living and give me time to “spy” which is just socializing.

        Again, your government will not be paying you until you are activated and “maybe” return home.

        And you’ll be “spying” on people you’ll probably hate. Like, if you’re given the chance to move up in your cover career to be Epstein’s personal island assistant, you’re obligated to take it and do a good job.

          Undercover agents who I’ve heard on podcasts actually do get to know the people and consider them friends.

          Why bring it immediately to pedophiles. We know for a fact the cia completely ignored Epstein and his damn island. So why use that as an example if not to shock with “pedophiles “ we aren’t investigating pedophiles which cia sleeper agents. Why are we talking about Epstein lol

        No, a sleeper agent will have to have a boring ass regular job as part of the cover. You will literally work more, since you will have to work your regular job and your spy job at the same time.
