Former NSA director had thousands personally invested in obscure tech firms

Army General Keith Alexander.

DOD/NSA

New financial disclosure documents released this month by the National Security Agency (NSA) show that Keith Alexander, who served as its director from August 2005 until March 2014, had thousands of dollars of investments during his tenure in a handful of technology firms.

Each year disclosed has a checked box next to this statement: "Reported financial interests or affiliations are unrelated to assigned or prospective duties, and no conflicts appear to exist."

Alexander repeatedly made the public case that the American public is at "greater risk" from a terrorist attack in the wake of the Snowden disclosures. Statements such as those could have a positive impact on the companies he was invested in, which could have eventually helped his personal bottom line.

The NSA did not immediately respond to Ars requests for further comment.

The documents were obtained and published Fridayby ViceNews as the result of a Freedom of Information Act request and subsequent lawsuit against the NSA brought by Vice Newsreporter Jason Leopold.

The 60 released pages, which cover a period from 2008 through 2013, document that as of 2008, Alexander had as much as $50,000 invested in Synchronoss, a cloud storage firm. Synchronoss provides services to major mobile phone providers, including AT&T, Verizon and others.

He also had as much as $15,000 invested in Datascension, a "data gathering and research company." Public trades in the firm were suspended by the Securities and Exchange Commission in August 2014 due to "a lack of current and accurate information" about it.

Pericom, a semiconductor company that also has made hardware for "DVR solutions for the CCTV security and surveillance markets," also appears in his portfolio, with investments up to $15,000 appearing as of 2008.

NSA Leaker Edward Snowden Gets Three-Year Residence Permit in Russia

MOSCOW NSA-leaker Edward Snowden was granted a three-year residence permit in Russia today and will be able to apply for a Russian citizenship in five years.

Snowden's lawyer Anatoly Kucherena announced the decision made by the federal migration service (FMS) at a news conference in Moscow on Thursday afternoon.

"Speaking about [Snowden's] subsequent status, he will be now free to travel abroad for a period of up to three months," he said.

According to Kucherena, Snowden did not apply for political asylum in Russia. "We are not talking about political asylum here. We are talking about temporary residence," he said. "Political asylum is a totally different procedure. It is granted by a presidential decree."

Snowden, who raised controversy last summer when he leaked a number of classified documents to the press, arrived at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport in late June 2013 and spent more than five weeks at the airport's transit zone before obtaining temporary asylum, which allowed him to enter Russian territory.

STORYRussia's Biggest Movie Theater to be Inaugurated

As Snowden's story came to public attention, it almost immediately attracted filmmakers. Last September, a parody character based on Snowden was featured in the U.S. cartoon series South Park, bringing the ratings of the episode, Let Go, Let Gov, to a two-year high.

Classified: The Edward Snowden Story, a Canadian independent movie centered on the former NSA contractors story, is slated for release this September.

In June 2014, director Oliver Stone had bought the rights to Kucherena's novel based on Snowden's life and will use it alongside Luke Harding's nonfiction book, The Snowden Files, as a basis for the screenplay of his movie, which is due to begin production later this year.
