Suspected Russian “honeypot” prostitutes targeting tech execs and VCs in an infamous Silicon Valley lounge provide a salacious illustration of the region’s spy problem
Not just SV. Russian (and Azerbaijani, Lithianian, Latvian, etc...) hookers are abundant in Seattle, Redmond, and especially Bellevue. Oh, God, Bellevue.
Exactly how many are spies is obviously unknown; otherwise they wouldn't be very good spies.
To me, the ones that charge significantly higher prices than the others are probably a good signal that they're trying to attract specific highly-placed tech folk who like to show off their money. The rest are just trying to earn a living, and working the Eastern Europe -> Pacific Northwest prostitution pipeline.
