I don't think it's that simple. Imagine that you have nonpublic information that would be harmful to party A.
* Enemies and competitors of A now have an incentive to kill you.
* If the info about A would move the market, someone who would like to profit from knowing the direction and timing now has an incentive to kill you.
* Risks about trustworthiness of this "service". What if the information is released accidentally. What if it's a honeypot for a hedge fund, spy agency, or a "fixer" service.
* You've potentially just flagged yourself as a more imminent threat to A.
* Attacks against loved ones seems to have been a thing. And doesn't trigger your deadman's switch.
