it seems incredibly unlikely that the Russian government hasn't been able to get their hands on all the classified material and laptops he took with him Most likely they built a special-purpose $5 machine to decrypt all his information. And that's why we haven't seen any photos of him since he left HK. It looks like a foolish mistake to have left China at all instead of applying for asylum there. China would be a good place for someone like Snowden to hide out from US authorities and live a good, full life. Ecuador and Russia are both very likely to exploit him themselves or turn him over to the US when the next administration comes in. But maybe he has something up his sleeve. I would not be surprised to hear that he's not in Moscow at all.
