I'd certainly be interested to hear your thoughts on the Shadow Brokers.



Their texts do not look like a Russian wrote them. It is broken English, right, but it is broken in wrong places (I am no stranger to writing in bad Russian English myself).

Russian English is known for skipping or confusing articles, longer sentences, more commas than it’s necessary, wrong tenses, and some troubles with pronouns. There is almost nothing of that. What _is_ there instead is way too many abbreviations than a Russian would use, things like POTUS/SCOTUS etc. We don’t use those. Also, the word “caucus” — quite an americanism, if a non-American person would have used that, they would speak much better English.

I am 90% sure that the perpetrator here is either an American, or lived in the US for a long time, and wanted to disguise his writing by intentionally distorting it.
