The Russian spy ring scandal is rippling through the Seattle technology community. News reports indicate an alleged 12th Russian spy, identified as Alexey Karetnikov, worked at Microsoft and lived in Redmond. Karetnikov, who is said to be in his early 20s, was deported to Russia Tuesday.

Karetnikov reportedly entered the U.S. in October. Microsoft spokesman Lou Gellos confirmed to the Washington Post that Karetnikov worked at the company for nine months as a software tester, but gave no further details. Karetnikov was reportedly taken into custody June 28 and held on immigration violations before being deported.

A Facebook page for an Alexey Karetnikov lists his current city as Redmond and gives his employers as Microsoft and a company called Neobit.

This is the second time the Seattle tech community has had a brush with the Russian spy scandal. It earlier emerged that one of the alleged spies, known as Tracey Foley, worked as a contract field agent for Seattle online real estate company Redfin. Foley, who lived in the Boston area, was later identified by U.S. authorities as Elena Vavilova.
