On the eve of the 10th anniversary of the #Snowden revelations, I remember Caspar #Bowden, who predicted this based on publicly available sources, lost his job at #Microsoft as a result, wrote a study for the European Parliament on the whole NSA scandal within 3 months, and unfortunately died way too early in 2015. media.ccc.de/v/31c3_-_6195_-_e Rule of thumb for any privacy activist: "What would Caspar have said or done?"

Matt Bowden - the BZP king is back in NZ and reckons he can "tackle the mental health epidemic" in NZ by inventing new compounds.

He claims Stargate (liquidated owing $1.4m) ran toxicity tests and trials before selling its products." A friend of mine from Queenstown was one of Matt's regular "testers". He fried his brain and now he's a barely functioning shadow of his previous self.

Never let Bowden near vulnerable people again. He's a cowboy.
