I personally do, he actually risked his life to release information about the government spying on people. And there are for sure more advanced ways now. Even your phone is listening.

    do you know nothing of the incident. He was in asia for awhile and was trapped in russia because orgininally he did have a european destination but it became clear that was likely to get him extridated so it changed to south america. Granted the person you replying to calling it a layover to latin america was representing it kinda wierd so im thinking he may have limited recall on it. He was in hon kong for awhile.

      Ah, I didn’t realize those were the circumstances — I assumed it was from wherever he was working at the time (I thought it was Hawaii but I could be wrong).

        yeah I have no idea where he was working or was before hong kong. pretty much when it hit the news it was even guesswork of where he was but I know he was working with a group that moved him from home to home of trusted people.
