There's a VC in Silicon Valley with a decent following and I have a strong suspicion this person works for a foreign intelligence service. Their life history doesn't check out. Source of funds sketchy. Being an "investor" is an easy cover story to cultivate human assets in S.V.
If you think there’s just one, and their identities are anything but open secrets, you’ve missed a long history of espionage in tech

Lol, Yuri is just as an investor as anyone else. Thinking that he works for FSB is just crazy talk. He would have been looked by the FBI under a microscope.

I never said there's just one. I'm sure there are many. I'm not sure their identities are all open secrets, tho...

Even so, why what seems "wrong" for "other" countries to do, is really OK for Corporate companies? Startups need funding, intelligence agencies needs data and tech. Why is it OK for FB and Google to get all the data? How are they different to intelligence agencies?
