Intel agencies assert he failed to VPN once and the IP routed to a GRU building. Knowing how IPs work, things can not quite work out like that -- things get leased, routing goes strange places, and proxies can even cut you off.

Say it ain't so. Look if you wanna get into tech, it's all there online. Get a job as a grunt at a big shared hosting firm; they'll take any idiot who'll fog a mirror, and eventually you'll figure it out.
