None of this has any bearance to reality.

In reality, Kim has sold the data of his customers (the very data they
hired him to protect) and he was punished for it by a German court.

To my knowledge, none of his venture capital funded companies is
turning up a profit.  I don't know of this LetsBuyIt thing is just a
PR gag to keep people talking about him or if it's an insider stock
trading scheme.  We will know soon, I guess.
