Wow, jealous whiners much? If I could find a juicy exploit and sell it (non-black market) to support myself and my family I would do it in a heart beat. We live in a capitalistic society where it costs money to live and you earn money for your hard-earned skills. These aren't teenager script kiddies - they are serious security researchers. Besides, give the guy a break, he worked/served in the goverment sector for who knows how long - let him finally earn some cash!
