Is that code for 'if you pay me enough'?

It's actually code for: "I'm willing to be reasonable and seriously consider both legal and ethical arguments you may have."

This isn't about money.

I like that you posted this to gather opinions and create a discussion around the ethical implications of it all. Kudos.

I'm wondering why you chose to use your real name though. Seems like there would be little benefit and very high risk in doing so.

I've used it before in reporting large data finds (such as US voter databases). It's really more about standing up and saying "I'm not afraid."

Ok, thanks for the clarification. It looked a little strange, that wording.

Or maybe "If you are a journalist who can use this responsibly".

Yeah that seems like a pretty bald-faced attempt to solicit bribes.
