Except out in the open with plausible ... stuff.

Kind of like how woods hole "finds" a lot of stuff in the ocean.

I mean, if this means bounty hunters sell their exploits to the US Government instead of selling it to a financial fraud ring, that seems like a good thing.

Could you elaborate on the "stuff" that is found in the ocean for the purposes of this analogy?

I suspect other arms of the government that can put a man far underwater find things in the ocean and pass it on.

so if woods hole finds something, or a hacker finds something, who knows if they got a hint from elsewhere.
