Speculative analysis of Snowden's travel route and Hong Kong extradition context

Summary

Speculative analysis of Snowden's travel route and Hong Kong extradition context The passage offers speculative commentary on Snowden's movements and possible motives without providing concrete new evidence, names, dates, or transactions. It references known facts (Hong Kong extradition treaty, Russia asylum) but does not introduce actionable leads, making it low-value for investigation. Key insights: Snowden fled to Hong Kong after Hawaii despite an active US‑HK extradition treaty.; Hong Kong recently extradited a fugitive (Trent Martin) for insider trading.; Travel itinerary involved stops in Japan before Hong Kong, which was not the most efficient route to a non‑extradition country.
