There is the famous case chronicled in "Reilly Ace of Spies", an oil exec/spy securing deals from eastern Russia to the Far East.

If Sidney Reilly had owned hotels and bugging devices, he could have added kompromat to his repertoire because he would have known who was sleeping with who and documenting trysts of all types.

See any parallels?
