Agreed they definitely shouldn’t pay these guys.

Yup. They absolutely shouldn't pay, for decision theoretic reasons, but that doesn't mean there won't be interesting fireworks to watch.

I'll be real curious if they have browsing data or subs tied to email addresses. How many .gov emails are subbed to nothing but fetish and porn subreddits?
