Why fake a new data leak at all? It's likely to be illegal either way. Depending on the quality of your work I suspect it would be easy to find buyers for aggregated and cross validated data sets on the black market. For that matter, I have to assume that the shadier businesses silently make use of publicly available leaks. The data is just too valuable to ignore depending on your business model.
