Wow... Exactly why you leave hacking to the hackers and allow sales people to market the product!
- IshKebab 6y agoYeah that's pretty insane pricing. They're effectively making the guy $300k and it's pretty doubtful he could go to anyone else to get it done. On the other hand I would hope the deal was that he would pay up front and assume all of the risk of it not working, in which case maybe it is not such a bad deal for them.
- djmips 6y agoI doubt that otherwise they would have been paid $100K up front.
