I've referenced Endgame Systems before[1], exploiting end users for-profit via for figures like the NSA is their type of game.

"There are even target packs for democratic countries in Europe and other U.S. allies. Maui (product names tend toward alluring warm-weather locales) is a package of 25 zero-day exploits that runs clients $2.5 million a year.[2]"

Endgame's product list was not marked classified, a product meant for distribution only to the likes of the NSA but peddled amongst fellow for-profit "whitehat" in arms. Yet another company with immunity to laws others are hunted and imprisoned for.

Speaking as someone in the field (I know people from Endgame, and work in a similar place with much more discretion), this is a load of shit. The FBI wouldn't be deploying Endgame product like this.
