Edward Snowden, the former US National Security Agency whistleblower who has lived in Russia since his revelations rocked the US intelligence community in 2013, has a taxpayer identification number, Systema, RFE/RL’s Russian investigative unit found.
You worded your post like this:
This text implies that Snowden was actively captured. Of course he’s not there because he choose to, or so I believe. But the fact is that he got stranded there, his own country put him in that situation.
And this is actually true. If Snowden lands on any country that extradites to the USA, there’s where he would be in a heartbeat, to rot forever in some jail, forgotten.
