    There is more to this story than meets the eye. The dude is a spy of some kind, the only question is whether or not he is a double agent. 

    The Guardian article says he went by Ron Nazzaro in his college days at Villanova. There are only three people with that name in the USA, and only one in his age group. 

    If you Google "Ron Nazzaro," you find someone of that name credited in the acknowledgments for the National Defense University Institute for National Strategic Studies publication Strategic Assessment 1998: Engaging Power for Peace. He is listed as a researcher and graphic designer for this Pentagon publication. If it's the same Nazarro as the one in those articles, he would have been about 26 at the time, which seems about right for 1998. "Hey, who knows about computers in here? Get that Nazarro kid."

    That publication's editor was Hans Bennindijk, who is now a fellow of the Transatlantic Security Council. 

    Binnendijk's deputy was David Gompert, who went on to become Director of National Intelligence under Obama and is now a senior fellow at RAND.

    The last man on the masthead is the hardest to track -- one James L. Zackrison, who runs an LLC in Falls Church, Va called Mater Navis. "Combating Piracy" is all the elaboration you get on his LinkedIn. He has also published Pentagon documents on instability in Colombia back in his days at the National War College at Fort Lesley McNair in DC.

    So you have this kid out of Villanova doing research and graphics for some heavy hitters in military intelligence...And then he vanishes from the Internet for the entire 2000s and pops up only now that his Nazi ring has been exposed. So he is either working for Putin or the Company or maybe both. 

    Would have to see pics of Russian wife to make the final decision.

    Gen X is the absolute best generation. Everyone else is a bunch of slap dick ass clowns.

    Last generation to grow up without the internet. We also know how to fuck chicks with or without internet assistance. We can fix your computer but also know when to ignore them. We also didn’t use our student loan money to travel the world and then bitch how we shouldn’t have to pay it back.

    Gen X is the most well rounded when it comes to employment, pussy, beer, and drugs. We respect others, aren’t snowflakes, work hard, and created great music.

    Fight me.

    I disagree with this take. I think Logan is interested in self preservation and honestly Tom isn’t high enough for shareholders to give a shit. Kendall leaving made sense or at least Logan could credibly make the case heads were rolling.  I think the smile at the end was in spite of himself Logan respected the power move. 
     

    Agree to disagree.  Seems to me the central plot to the series is who succeeds Logan.  Tom was simply a test for Shiv.  Roman did well enough but couldn't definitively close.  This has always been about Logan training his kids to be ruthless corporate killers.  He just needed to see who learned the lessons best.  Ken killed the King.

    Part of me thinks this is what Logan wanted to happen.  He goaded Kendall into becoming the killer.

    When he was watching it, you would'v expected Logan to throw a tantrum.  Instead, he calmly put his finger to his lips and told everyone to hush and listen.

    This.  Logan laid it all out for Shiv but when she wouldn't/couldn't choose between Tom and Ken, he knew she didn't have what it takes.  He pushed every button he had on Ken and when Ken came through, Logan was one proud Papa.
