10. Edward Snowden (The Whistleblower)
Popularly known as the whistleblower, Edward Snowden was a former contractor of the National Security Agency. He is also known as a former computer intelligence consultant responsible for leaking highly classified information from the NSA. Snowden was, however, accused of using spies to obtain information about plans and activities of the government and theft of its property.
However, Snowden was not charged with treason. After some time, he was nowhere to be found in the States after escaping. In May 2013, he was indicted in absentia. Later, they extradited Snowden to the United States for his criminal activities.
