Summary

This document is page 24 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, based on the filename), included in a House Oversight file dump. It details Edward Snowden's lifestyle and financial activities in 2008, including his use of aliases 'Wolfking Awesomefox' and 'TrueHooHa', significant gambling losses on the stock market, and his angry online outbursts against Ben Bernanke and others on Ars Technica. It connects his personal financial distress to his time working for the CIA on sensitive operations in Switzerland.
