Is this the company that offers a free VPN extension and pays for it selling those people machines bandwidth? I always thought their business model is way too shady to be legal.

They sold a majority stake at a valuation of $200MM and it's now a separate company from the one that runs the VPN.

Yeah. There's been numerous cases of people just grabbing a stolen credit card and getting a botnet to attack sites with.
