In a remote Norwegian town north of the Arctic Circle, a cybersecurity expert with ties to WikiLeaks checked out of a hotel, dressed in khaki hiking gear and carrying heavy baggage.
That was on Aug. 20. No one has reported seeing him since.
The disappearance of Arjen Kamphuis, 46, has so far flummoxed a widening police investigation that has chased stray clues and false leads in Norway, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. Norwegian police have released statements saying that they have no idea whether he was a victim of foul play, but that they “are open to all possibilities.”
The uncertainty, and Mr. Kamphuis’s links to WikiLeaks, the anti-secrecy organization that has run afoul of governments and other powerful interests, has the internet buzzing with conspiracy theories. Some suggest a kidnapping — or worse — involving Russia, the C.I.A., MI6, Islamists or the Clintons, while others ask if he intended to disappear, possibly on some secret assignment for WikiLeaks.

I don’t know how they lost him. He’s ginormous!
He’s dead Jim
I don’t think that picture is quite big enough. I can’t see the dust mites in his hair.
Did you preview your post...?
He has a Chairman Mao collar. Obviously he has gone to work for China.
Tsing Tao Beer will do that to you.
They call him a “security expert”, why? Apparently because he wrote a book. The book in question provides this about the author;
Arjen Kamphuis is co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Gendo (http://www.gendo.ch/en/blog/arjen) since 2005. Previously he worked for IBM as IT architect, trainer and IT strategy advisor. As CTO of Gendo he advises several national governments, non-profits and Fortune-500 companies on technology-policy. Since 2009 Arjen
has been training journalists, politicians, lawyers, human rights workers and whistleblowers to defend their communications and data from government or corporate intrusions or manipulation.
What I DO NOT SEE are the standard set of security industry certifications that would normally follow a “security expert”
Were they out of the big pictures of him?
Kamphius must be Norwegian for Gulliver. :^|
If he was one of those that could Activate/Deactivate the dead mans switch then I would say maybe he will never be seen again.
