If this were me, I'd be running away from it as fast as possible.
It's entered meatspace, with players like the FBI, FSB, China (not sure about their acronyms), and anyone else who feels they have a stake.
If you aren't state-sponsored and protected (by a competent state, however corrupt), you aren't going to win against them. Not when you have a physical body, family, and friends to protect.
(And even if you aren't state-sponsored, do you want to be on high-vigilance for 10+ years? No trips abroad? And how do you stay useful enough to maintain that protection? And how, regardless of internal political turmoil?)
P.S. Not to mention, the competent (as opposed to the other) and very resource rich aspects of their intelligence services. Which can add up to a lot of haystack sifting.
