It is interesting and I'm interested in watching it unfold. You could also
think about adding in a bounty feature. Like a journalist gets information
about a company laundering drug money, but they have no proof. The
journalist provides enough information to get the hackers started. They
post the bounty, the community crowd-funds it, the hackers go to work. If
they can get the proof, they collect the bounty or it will incentivize
whistle blowers. Either way, you guys should go to a country that won't
extradite you, because this is potentially even more provocative than Silk
Road. Hackers and whistle blowers get more jails time than murders and
rapists.
