Let me set the record straight, I'm a recently retired Fed now working in the private sector. In my former capacity, I would have been the individual that would have buying these so-called $75,000 exploits. I never paid that kind of money, nor would I need to pay that kind of money as there are so many folks willing to sell that the law of suppy and demand dictated a much lower price. Additionally, the shelf life of many exploits sometimes last only a few weeks. Finally, if I had purchased code from guys such as Desautels, disclosure of any arrangement, or a public announcement that he would broker a deal would have killed any agreement or working relationship. I don't personally know Desautels, I don't know if he is a US citizen. No citizenship is another deal breaker. I believe you have been printing a lot of hot air.
