I strongly agree. Since Snowden himself is presumably in Russia, the U.S. government is effectively attempting economic sanctions against him. Their method is to scare anyone that might send him money with a lawsuit.

Edward Snowden should really setup a monero wallet and post the address on his site. I would love to give him some money at the end of the year.

He's just released a book, I wonder how it is set up, can he earn the money from it or not?

If he loses the lawsuit, no (the money goes to a trust for the USG).

It's possible that Macmillan paid him an advance and so he already has the money. I don't know if the feds can do much in that case.

This is indeed the case, the rumoured advance was around $100k.

Also, it's entirely possible that there will be ways for the publisher to never repatriate profits from sales abroad and/or translations.

This is just petty stuff from petty bureaucrats.
