My (very limited) take on this Whelan thing: I've never thought dual-citizenship is (in general) a good idea. I understand why some people do it; I personally, would not. But *four* citizenships? That's just ridiculous. /1

I'm going to take a wild guess at this Whelan business and say - my PERSONAL view, duh - that he's not in any way a spy. More likely some kind of wannabe, or a guy who was trying to rack up Russia cred with private industry or consulting firms, and wasn't too smart about it. /2
