They have a really good racket going on and want to make sure people keep giving them way more money than is necessary. It’s simply not true that Infosec.Exchange requires $5000/month to operate unless they’re doing something very wrong or just straight up lying.

You’re free to provide evidence to prove me wrong, or you can keep trying to distract and prove me right.
