That's a pretty big difference indeed, that's more like a normal SV salary than a 'live for ever in Thailand' amount of money.

Yes. It is less than any salary I could make at a company if I could get a job. But that article was a career limiting move. C’est la vie. Never talk to reporters unless you have a specific reason to. Definitely don’t talk to reporters who burn their sources.

I understand that he is writing a book now, and I doubt many insiders will speak to him. I don’t expect it to be very accurate.

I had a lot of problems because of that article. Not just the death threats and such, but ... do not ever become interesting to states. They have a lot of resources.
