I think you've missed my point. I know data brokers exist. Does there exist today a data broker that functions in whole or in significant part buy acquiring vulnerabilities and exploiting them to collect data? He's a more concise way to frame my argument: if you're imagining yourself to be the first person to sell a particular kind of vulnerability to, then your customer is imaginary.

Yeah, I think this is valid. “I’m confident I can find someone who will buy this” vs “I’ll message grugq”, roughly?

My feeling is that if he were still paying attention on HN he'd probably back me up on this stuff (if not, I'd be thrilled for him to come set me straight).
