Russian spy worked for Microsoft

Russian Alexey Karetnikov, deported form the US as part of a 'spy ring', was working at Microsoft's Redmond headquarters

Call him the 12th man: but this one was unusual, because according to the US authorities, Alexey Karetnikov – who was deported to Russia as part of the "spy ring" earlier this week – was working for Microsoft.
According to details released by the US, Karetnikov entered the US in October and had been living in Redmond, the city in the north-western state of Washington where the software giant Microsoft has its headquarters – and according to his Facebook page, he was working for Microsoft and for Neobit, a Romanian-based software company.
The US Department of Homeland Security said the suspect was "just in the early stages; had just set up shop" when he was detained in the sweep that led to the biggest spy swap since the Cold War.
Karetnikov, a Russian citizen in his early- to mid-20s, was held over immigration violations in the absence of enough evidence to charge him with a crime. But he had been monitored almost as soon as he arrived in the US, and the DHS was confident that he obtained "absolutely no [useful] information".
