Anna Chapman: Russian spy shopping life story for $250k...sort of

Anna Chapman, the sexy red-headed Russian spy arrested last month, is reportedly shopping her life story to the media in hopes of an eventual movie and/or book deal. The New York Post reports Chapman wants a quarter million dollars to detail her life. Her attorney was recently quoted as saying, "She felt that the only source of income that she might have was based on her story."
The 28 year old bombshell will reportedly be loose lipped on how she infiltrated U.S. society when she gets a bite. But until then, Chapman's being very secretive about the potential deal - in fact she's not even shopping it. According to reports Chapman, who lost her income after her cover was blown, has asked an acquaintance to approach media outlets for her.
Anna Chapman's also asking that whatever money she earns from the deal be put into a Swiss account in someone else's name. That's because, as her attorney explained, she's forbidden from making money on the Russian spy story. "There is no prohibition against her talking. That would have been illegal," Robert Baum said in an interview with Newsweek. "She just can't make money from it, or else the government will go after that money."
Chapman found sudden fame last month as the most infamous of the 11 members of an alleged Russian espionage ring arrested in the U.S. The public's interest in her "all-American story" peaked when it was revealed the Russian spy was living as a New York City business woman who frequented exclusive bars and clubs and was well-liked by neighbors. Chapman's stunning good looks earned her countless nicknames by the media including "flame-haired beauty", "the modern day Bond girl" and "the stunning SoHo spy." Now, Anna Chapman's hoping she can spin all of that public interest into some much-need cash.
