A guy I worked with a guy in a utility company who had, somehow or other, full control/ownership of a significant proportion of the customer meter data under his consulting company. I have absolutely no idea how he acquired it, but it paid him a six figure salary for five or ten hours work per month just patching a MySQL database. And he could basically name his price, as the company didn't have any other source of meter data for those customers.
