    Decided to TL;DR it…

    Edward Snowden is a whistleblower that is not exiled in Russia.

    Ross Ulbricht is the founder of the first well-known darknet market Silk Road.

    Julian Assange is one of the founders of Wikileaks, a whistleblower site.

    Roman Semyonov, Alexey Pertsev and Roman Storm seems to be related to cryptocurrency laundering. Hadn’t heard of them.

    I’d add:

    Chelsea Manning, another whistleblower.

    Aaron Swartz was accused of sharing MIT’s academic articles and committed suicide.
