You may not be able to think of such legit businesses, but they exist. I've signed NDA's at at least two.
Simple reason why you might not want to talk about it: you want to sell to customers on the sly while avoiding creating competition. The product is probably easy to duplicate and doesn't currently exist right now because no one thought of it.

In a few months, when I have entered the second stage of my business, I will start talking about my products. It's just a choice. I am not marketing to the startup or hacker crowd, just to the normal people.

I agree with the feeling. The posts are interesting reads, but early on there was discussion of social engineering that didn't smell right... There are a number of interesting domains registered to a maximus klein with the following contact:
Maximus Klein ([email protected]) 81 City Road London United Kingdom,EC1Y 1BL GB Tel. +44.8452802710
close to the cubeofm registration .. a domain name with a "vitch" in the ending as well... Our Max says this isn't him though...

posting a strangers contact details really isn't cool, especially in the context of this thread.

I suppose it is cool for cubeofm domain registration to give the address for the Dog & Partridge Pubs then ehhh? As so many seem to be saying... it's suspicious smelling. Could be completely legit, but also could be like the KimKins lowcarbfriends thing and could use some investigation.. The items posted were straight from DNS registration public info...
But it does seem a little suspicious that you can't talk about your business in public.
I can't think of a single legit business where talking about it openly didn't benefit the business (especially once the product is launched).
