Okay now I've lost respect for him. I appreciate that he told us what the gov was secretly doing, but to now go to the enemy? Come on, that's treason.

Who's enemy?
I have no enemies. My government says that I do though.

Look, it's one thing to tell us our government is abusing its power, but it's another to go to another country, especially one that has a long history with us. Seriously, I don't understand the down voting, the guy is committing treason.

Perhaps that's where he won't get hung, shot, locked up in solitary, disappear in a car accident etc for telling the truth?
Calling treason on him is as bad as the original act the government committed.

If you work in infosec or even just maintain a popular website, 100% of your security problems come from either Russia or China.

Very true! Seeing as you are a hacker like I am, it's not 100% accurate to say we are where our ip addresses are.

That's total bollocks.
I work for a large company with a big web presence. Most of our attacks come from Brazil, the US and rooted VPSs in Europe.

What else can you do when your own country vilifies you?
His country betrayed him long before he fled to Russia. He owes no allegiance to a country which has forsaken him and apparently rescinded his passport.
