 (June 29) -- A 28-year-old divorcee with a swanky New York address and Russian roots is emerging as a real-life Bond girl in what the FBI describes as a more than decade-long spy ring allied to Moscow.Anna Chapman, who reportedly has a master's degree in economics and runs her own $2 million online real estate business, is one of 10 alleged Russian spies who appeared in federal court Monday. The FBI says she's part of a long-term, deep-cover espionage network trying to infiltrate U.S. policy-making circles and collect information for Moscow. Her Facebook page 's address contains the more Russian first name "Anya" instead of the Americanized "Anna" and is adorned with glamorous, suggestive self-portraits . Many of them are being republished today in the tabloids, with captions calling Chapman a "femme fatale" with a " Victoria's Secret body ."One of her status updates from January says, "When you speak the truth, you don't have to remember it." Another says, "My new Mac has been the buy of the year. ... Love it!"That's likely the same Macintosh laptop referenced in an 18-page court document unsealed Monday, in which the FBI alleges that Chapman sat in a coffee shop in midtown Manhattan and sent secret information to Russian agents in a van passing by outside, using a short-range wireless network.Every Wednesday, the document alleges, Chapman has been passing such information to her handlers in scenes reminiscent of a James Bond film. It also outlines a meeting Chapman had last weekend with someone whom she allegedly believed was a Russian agent working at the country's consulate in New York -- but who really was an undercover FBI agent.Pretending to be one of her handlers, the FBI agent instructed Chapman on how to transfer a fake passport to another female spy, authorities said. She was to hold a magazine in a certain way so the other agent would recognize her. When the woman asked her, "Excuse me, but haven't we met in California last summer?" Chapman was to respond in coded language, "No, I think it was the Hamptons."But Chapman never made the rendezvous, and it's unclear whether that's because she may have become suspicious of the undercover U.S. agent. She was arrested a day later. An Obama administration official told The New York Times that the FBI decided to move in and arrest the suspects quickly, fearing they might try to flee the country.The court document also says Chapman bought a cell phone under a false name, Irine Kutsov, with the address "99 Fake Street," which she used to make calls to Russia that couldn't be traced to her own name. FBI agents trailing her found the phone contract and charger in a garbage bin, it said.Chapman is charged with conspiracy to act as an agent of a foreign government without notifying the U.S. attorney general, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison.At her hearing in federal court Monday, Chapman's lawyer, Robert Baum, argued that allegations against his client were exaggerated and said she deserved to be released on bail. "This is not a case that raises issues of security of the United States," he said, according to several news agencies.But the bail request was denied after federal prosecutor Michael Farbiarz called Chapman a highly trained "Russian agent" and "practiced deceiver" and could try to flee the country if released even temporarily.Meanwhile, one of Chapman's Facebook friends has posted a story about her arrest on her profile. There's no word on whether she's had Facebook access behind bars. ||||| Accused spy Anna Chapman wasn't the only suspected Russian agent on Facebook. A tipster with access to co-defendant Mikhail Semenko's Facebook photos sent us some of his pictures. Want to see an alleged spy in a Bill Clinton costume? 
 
 Ten people were arrested by the U.S. government on Monday and accused of spying for Russia. One of the indicted, Anna Chapman, had pictures from various social networking sites posted all over the internet today (you can see those photos at the bottom of this post). Unsurprisingly, another one of the ten defendants had a significant social networking presence: Mikhail Semenko, an Arlington, Va. travel agent. 
 
 Semenko, whose LinkedIn profile has already been the subject of media speculation, worked at a travel agency called Travel All Russia, where he had a reputation for being "'clumsy' and 'quirky,' but highly intelligent." Our tipster, who knew him slightly, says he "was pretty much just super socially awkward... He always said weird jokes that no one really got. Probably super smart though." 
 
 So, not exactly James Bond. He and his fellow defendants are facing charges of "conspiracy to act as agents of a foreign government while concealing that from the U.S. government"—not espionage or high treason. In fact, they may not have done much spying at all. To be sure, this wasn't necessarily their M.O.; Russia may have just been hoping for vague and limited access to policymaking circles, with no specific information-gathering objectives. But mostly, Semenko and others seem to have blended in so well as ordinary Americans that, like ordinary Americans, they didn't have a lot of access to state secrets. 
 
 Semenko's Facebook photos don't really contradict that. The Seton Hall graduate looks like most goofy 20-somethings, messing around with friends at parties. How many Russian master spies do you think have been photographed wearing "U.S.S.R." t-shirts or Bill Clinton masks? 
 
 Then again, how many 20-somethings are accused of being spies? 
 
 
 
 
 
 Anna Chapman Photos
– "Richard Murphy" is really Vladimir Guryev. "Donald Howard Heathfield" is really Andrey Bezrukov. Hottie spy Anna Chapman is really ... Anna Chapman. All 10 defendants accused of being deep-cover Russian agents pleaded guilty today under their real names, reports the Wall Street Journal. The deal allows them to avoid jail in the US and be deported to Moscow, probably within hours. In exchange, Russia is expected to release four US spies, says AP. The most prominent of that group is Russian physicist Igor Sutyagin, who is believed to have already left Russia or is about to do so. "No one has solid information," said his mother, who lives near Moscow. "Nobody has said anything officially and Igor himself hasn't called."
