Is it typical for the media to write stories when spies surreptitiously sneak out of a country?
I speculate this guy was long gone before the feds kicked in his door. Assuming he and his wife were indeed spies of course. Right now we cannot confirm or disconfirm that, but the narrative fits it so far.

Do you have any sources that this guy was vanned, besides the very reliable Ars Technica comments section crying about 'fascists' and random schizos on BlueSky?

- dale_huevo 2y agoYes, apologies, original post was misworded and corrected. Everyone is assuming this guy was maliciously 'disappeared', but no evidence has been presented proving that vs. that he vanished on his own. Everything is rage-porn speculation at this point, like a fresh airplane accident where everyone becomes an armchair pilot.
- sc68cal 2y agoYou're asking someone for sources, after accusing someone of espionage with no sources?
- runsWphotons 2y agoTons of people above are suggesting he was "disappeared" with no sources (and no real cases of this really happening otherwise, recent cases have all had paperwork). Seems fair to ask and suggest a more likely alternative.
- hmcq6 2y agoHow does one provide evidence/sources for a disappearance? I can show you sources that say DB Cooper existed but there’s no evidence of his disappearance by definition so… what do you think you are looking for exactly?
