No worries anon. Just trying to sort @snowden's status out, it's a bit confusing.
Theoryfagging:
So him being on the loose, but cornered, may be part of some strategy we just don't understand; possible lure for other players as they try to extract him. Also, if he is a liability, it keeps him exposed to those that want him off the board, which puts more pressure on him. Interesting.
Cheers
