Sting: This frame from an October 19, 2009, surveillance video  just released shows Stewart Nozette as he attempted to sell secrets to an undercover agent

Nozette was recorded telling the FBI's undercover agent that the secrets he was revealing had cost the U.S. government anywhere from $200million to almost $1billion.

He said he thought he should be paid one per cent of that cost - $2 million.

Investigators learned that Nozette could be a potential spy after a search of his home in February 2007 in connection with a tax and fraud investigation.
