The True HOOHA的個人資料顯示他是一名男性,與斯諾登同齡(2006年是22歲),教育背景也相同(沒有高中畢業證),而且替政府工作,具有IT背景。TheTrueHOOHA提到了他以前的公司,日本動漫插畫公司Ryuhana Press。他還提到,自己2007年在日內瓦工作。瑞士大使館證實,斯諾登當時作為美國常駐聯合國代表團的隨員駐紮在日內瓦。但他真實的身份是美國中情局的技術人員。2006年,這個賬號還把年輕斯諾登的照片貼到了Ars論壇上。
這是媒體混淆視聽的炒作, 其實斯諾登向15個國家申請避難。
Edward Snowden asking 15 countries for asylum, Russian official says

MOSCOW -- Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who leaked U.S. security secrets and is now a fugitive, met Monday morning with Russian diplomatic officials and handed them an appeal to 15 countries for political asylum, a Russian Foreign Ministry official told The Times.
「It was a desperate measure on his part after Ecuador disavowed his political protection credentials,」 said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity. 」In the document Snowden reiterated once again that he is not a traitor and explained his actions only by a desire to open the world』s eyes on the flagrant violations by U.S. special services not only of American citizens but also citizens of European Union including their NATO allies.」
The official didn』t disclose the countries that were on the list. The meeting took place at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport, where Snowden has apparently holed up in a transit lounge since fleeing from Hong Kong while seeking a route to Ecuador or somewhere else that might grant him asylum.

Kirill Kabanov, a member of the Presidential Council on Human Rights, a Kremlin advisory body, said he believes that Russia is on the list.
「In the given circumstances, Russia has two workable options: Firstly is to provide Snowden with some refugee-status papers so that he could buy a ticket and leave for some other country, or secondly to grant him political asylum,」 Kabanov said in an interview with The Times.
「Snowden's actions were motivated by a desire to protect human rights and freedoms and now many rights activists in Russia are talking about him as a human rights advocate who deserves to be granted asylum, although this measure is fraught with some political inconveniences for Russia,」 he said.

One week ago I left Hong Kong after it became clear that my freedom and safety were under threat for revealing the truth. My continued liberty has been owed to the efforts of friends new and old, family, and others who I have never met and probably never will. I trusted them with my life and they returned that trust with a faith in me for which I will always be thankful.
On Thursday, President Obama declared before the world that he would not permit any diplomatic "wheeling and dealing" over my case. Yet now it is being reported that after promising not to do so, the President ordered his Vice President to pressure the leaders of nations from which I have requested protection to deny my asylum petitions.
This kind of deception from a world leader is not justice, and neither is the extralegal penalty of exile. These are the old, bad tools of political aggression. Their purpose is to frighten, not me, but those who would come after me.
For decades the United States of America have been one of the strongest defenders of the human right to seek asylum. Sadly, this right, laid out and voted for by the U.S. in Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is now being rejected by the current government of my country. The Obama administration has now adopted the strategy of using citizenship as a weapon. Although I am convicted of nothing, it has unilaterally revoked my passport, leaving me a stateless person. Without any judicial order, the administration now seeks to stop me exercising a basic right. A right that belongs to everybody. The right to seek asylum.
In the end the Obama administration is not afraid of whistleblowers like me, Bradley Manning or Thomas Drake. We are stateless, imprisoned, or powerless. No, the Obama administration is afraid of you. It is afraid of an informed, angry public demanding the constitutional government it was promised — and it should be.
I am unbowed in my convictions and impressed at the efforts taken by so many.
