handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch78366 and id is 1 raw text is: 104-10256-10077  2022 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992
SUBJECT: Mitchell Livingston WerBell
1. Subject is a 52-year-old, native-born American who served
on military assignment with the Office of Strategic Services from
approximately July to December of 1945 with primary service in the
China-Burma-India theatre. Following his military/OSS service,
Subject entered into a variety of short-term business activities, most
of which were characterized by his unorthodox business practices.
There is no indication that he has ever been employed by the Agency.
2. There is considerable evidence in Subject's file that he was
looked upon with strong suspicion by several Government agencies,
including the Bureau of Customs and the Federal Bureau of Investigation
for alleged arms smuggling in a number of South American countries,
as well as his apparent involvement with several revolutionary groups
and Castro assassination schemes. Office of Security records disclose
that Subject is generally categorized as a con man, unscrupulous, a
wheeler-dealer and-a prometer-of grandiose schemes.        -- ---
3. In July 1959 Subject apparently volunteered his services to
the Western Hemisphere Division and was seriously considered for
use as an informant on revolutionary activities in Cuba and the
Dominican Republic. During the period that Subject's Operational
Approval was being processed, he volunteered several pieces of
information, all of which were judged to have little value. In
October 1959, WH Division decided to drop all operational interest
in the Subject since they became convinced that his real aim in working
for CIA was to use Agency funds to promote his personal interests.
