Bah - that's for amateurs. l33t folk would encrypt the data in-place,
and sell the key needed to decrypt the file(s). MUCH less traffic
involved, so quicker get-in-get-out time results, and the key can
be snail-mailed, phoned in, or left under a rock.
Man, I sure hope that's not what REALLY happened/happens, cause I
really had nothing to do with it.
