Agreed: Lynch might be a man of means, but many runners have bills to pay :)
And while tortureware might be nasty, and subliminal programming by BTLs
alarming, "I don't use BTL and anyone who does deserves what they get:
and if I frag up enough to get a tortureware chip stuck in my head I was
screwed already." Not something to drive altruism the way Maxim's nukes,
or the Muffin Man's psychosis, would. That's going to be a 'for hire'
when it happens.

Hey, a team get *paid* for once! :)
