American Scofflaw
Disgraced CIA spy Jim Nicholson, serving time for espionage at the federal prison in Sheridan, groomed his son to collect debts from Russia with colorful letters that quoted the Bible, according to court records unsealed Thursday.
"(D)o not gloat over me my enemies!" he wrote last April to Nathan J. Nicholson, quoting from the book of Micah. "For though I fall, I will rise again."
Father and son rose Thursday before a federal judge in Portland, both wearing leg shackles.
Harold James "Jim" Nicholson, a 58-year-old native Oregonian convicted in 1997 of selling classified information to the Russian Federation, is now accused of using his son to collect the debts. His son, Nathaniel James Nicholson of Eugene, a 24-year-old disabled Army veteran, is accused of traveling the globe to collect.
