He’s likely not getting rich, but he probably gets a small stipend until he creates a life for himself.
Perhaps his admirers will expatriate to help build that elusive fanstasy.
Three observations here. First, no real IT company would hire Snowden to do any security work with a Russian-type Fortune 500 company. He can’t be depended upon. So, he’s doing mostly fake work that makes him think he’s worth something, but the checks coming in....are simply KGB-paid funds.
Second, Lindsay Mills is basically a pole dancer. There’s always hints of her being a $200k a year model, but I’ve yet to see this in substantial ways to be proven. Her background achievement is that she finished off four years at Maryland Institute of College Art. Tuition runs around $42,000 a year...plus living expenses....so you can figure someone (maybe the family) paid out $240k for her to graduate with a marginal valued degree.
Third. There’s an odd medical fact, which I came across in reading up on Snowden....he suffers from epilepsy. Generally, depending on the degree....it can affect your mental state. This brings me back to the medical discharge the Army gave him....which I suspect was due to the epilepsy. The clearance folks? After he gets picked by the CIA (his Switzerland year)....someone should have sat down and examined his medical history. I’m willing to bet....no one ever went to the Army medical records and saw his health issues.
