It sounds like if someone wanted the data and took it the obvious way,
they would have left some evidence.  But clearly someone knew exactly
what they had.  They might have decided to copy the data on the sly,
and then claimed the reward as a bonus.

You'd have to be a real jerk to sell the personal info of 20 million vets.
