<i>Suspected Russian “honeypot” prostitutes targeting tech execs and VCs in an infamous Silicon Valley lounge provide a salacious illustration of the region’s spy problem</i><p>Not just SV. Russian (and Azerbaijani, Lithianian, Latvian, etc...) hookers are abundant in Seattle, Redmond, and especially Bellevue. Oh, God, Bellevue.<p>Exactly how many are spies is obviously unknown; otherwise they wouldn't be very good spies.<p>To me, the ones that charge significantly higher prices than the others are probably a good signal that they're trying to attract specific highly-placed tech folk who like to show off their money. The rest are just trying to earn a living, and working the Eastern Europe -> Pacific Northwest prostitution pipeline.
