> (This also seems like a fun time to note that Witopia, a VPN provider lists its office address in a building occupied by multiple CIA subdivisions.)

This seems the appropriate time to interject that this may not be particularly meaningful. I once worked in a building that contained offices of the IRS CI and Secret Service. The IRS were actually on my floor - seeing an armed accountant in the bathroom is a bit of a surprise.

It doesn't always mean a lot. In my case, it meant we were in a building conveniently close to highways and the local airport.




I agree, which is why I worded my comment so indirectly. Caveat lector, as they say. ;)

Office space could be cheap, or in this case datacenter space as well.

I am not accusing Witopia of being a CIA-funded VPN provider, but it seems reasonable to argue that sharing an address with the CIA is not a rational business decision for a VPN company.
