...people intrusted with valuable information will monetize it...
That is one way to word it.
My curiousity artises specifically though because certain large thefts seems to have occurred having used information only available through government, information otherwise technologically impossible to obtain, and there would seem to have been efforts to hide the source of that information.
I am not going to elaborate on that, and I am sure there are many people who are suspicious of agencies like the NSA, but I am wondering who has noticed that which I refer to in the previous paragraph.
Yes, people will steal other peoples "ideas" especially if you rank up high with your metadata, you wouldn't be able to know that they stole it, most would just disregard it and assume that someone else has thought of the same idea.
