	Russell Miller CV at PFD
		A wealthy playboy, incorrigible womaniser and dedicated gambler, Dusko Popov was one of Germany's most trusted spies, one of Britain's most successful double agents, and, some say, the inspiration for James Bond.
		Throughout the war he fed the Germans with a constant stream of military 'intelligence', all vetted by MI5, and came to be viewed as their most important and reliable agent in Britain.
		After the war Dusko Popov was granted British citizenship and awarded an OBE.

		Popov travelled in person to the United States with a stack of documents in his briefcase, which he took to the New York office of the then director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations, J. Edgar Hoover.

		Dusan "Dusko" Popov, who died shortly after telling Italian journalists in 1981 that he doubted a flesh-and-blood Bond "would last 48 hours as a spy," managed to discover the Japanese plan to attack Pearl Harbor months ahead of the Dec. 7, 1941, attack.
		Popov traveled in person to the United States with a stack of documents in his briefcase, which he took to the New York office of the then-director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover.
		Border police recorded Popov's last exit from Portugal toward the end of the 1940s, but the possibility remains that he may have used his various passports in false names to re-enter the country.

		The other, Dusko Popov, a Yugoslavian businessman, was thought quite effective by the Abwehr, but was actually a double agent whose loyalty was to the British.

	USNews.com: Heeding Churchill's advice, spies have used deceit to win wars--and to prevent them
		Nowhere are the rewards and pitfalls of double-crossing clearer than in the case of Dusko Popov, a Yugoslav nationalist and international playboy from Dubrovnik.
		One British case officer quickly sized up Popov's motivation: "He is an adventurer who is very partial to the fleshpots of the world, and he realizes that a person of his type can enjoy the fleshpots better under democratic than under totalitarian conditions."
		It was hardly his first: His plucky British minders eventually changed Popov's code name to Tricycle, because he boasted about bringing two women to bed at the same time.

	Talk:James Bond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dusko Popov (aka Tricycle) should be mentioned somewhere as there are indications that he was inspiration to Fleming.
		I don't know if National Enquirer is a reputable source or not; it looks like Tricycle and Fleming knew each other and given that Tricycle had an impressive track record my guess that there is some space for speculation on Tricycle's influence on Fleming/James Bond.
		Maybe ythe article on Dusko Popov should be amended to be more precise about this relation.

		Hoovers insistence on ultimate control began to dominate his relationship with the British who believed that Hoover, well intentioned or not, could not set aside the police mentality or his heavy-handed methods which constantly proved more of a hindrance than a help.
		He dismissed Popov's warnings because of the spy's supposed sexual prowess.
		According to Hoover Popov "had a liking for bedding two girls at a time." Hoover's obsession with the sexual activities of others would, throughout his long career, prejudice his evaluations of usable information.

		The classic Bond casino scene is described in the book as being originated in a Lisbon casino where Popov used a substantial amount of British funds, intended for other purposes, to publicly deflate the ego of a successful, but pompous Middle-Eastern Gambler in a game of baccarat.
		Ian Fleming was surveilling Popov at the time of the casino encounter and Popov describes the scene, quite well in the book.
