> whats the expected value of a vulnerability "undetectable by voters and trusted auditors" in a 10-20 Mio/y market You might be low balling it yourself. The influence market has a limited value because players who would want to influence towards outlandish outcomes (ex. a union with Russia, declaring war to Germany or simply self-destruction via civil war) know they are wasting their money since their desired outcome is essentially impossible to achieve. A system where you can enforce a change of leadership in a OECD country with 700 billion GDP is worth at least billions, if not tens of billions. You could recover most of your costs simply by influencing government purchasing for 4 years, and get any politically desired outcomes for free.
