Subject: [FD] What do you think of Trollc?

>From https://www.startjoin.com/trollc

*Right now if you're a software exploit developer and you want to monetize
your craft to pay your rent, there's only one consistent way to do so: sell
your software exploits. The major customer for these are oppressive
governments, chiefly that of the United States. We know what the United
States does with software exploits: it uses them to illegally spy on its
own citizens, and attack peaceful nations around the world.*

*I need your help to create a company that will ethically disclose software
vulnerabilities to the public. For this I need help getting the filing fees
necessary to incorporate a hedge fund. I want to continue bringing issues
in companies that put you at risk to light, and short the stocks of those
companies when I do so. I will only get paid when large corporations being
negligent get punished. This will create a structure by which security
researchers including myself will still make a living, only now by
disclosing problems instead of selling them in secret to criminal
governments.*

What say you? Is this brilliant? Or stupid? Awesome? But never going to
work?
