The book Kingpin, by Kevin Poulson, describes how Vision was motivated more by his hatred for the FBI and society in general than greed.
Note: This is not an ad for this book, and the only reason I posted this is because I thought it was a cool story. I couldn't give a fuck if you bought the book or not, but I totally think people should know how much of a joke our country's infrastructure is...
It is a fact that the FBI have breached VPN's and used them as honeypots. Even acting as vpn providers. They can do that without breaking the law.
I can recommend this book for more info: http://www.amazon.com/Kingpin-Hacker-Billion-Dollar-Cybercrime-Underground/dp/0307588688
A bit off topic...I just finished reading an advance copy of Kingpin written by Kevin - one of the best written 'hacker' books i've read in a long time (good amount of technical detail). Anyway, give it a read when it comes out. He's really come a long way in establishing himself as a legitimate author IMO.
I read Kingpin: How One Hacker Took Over the Billion-Dollar Cybercrime Underground a few months back which is all about that stuff. Really good read.
Good question actually... or would you just be doubling up on Kingpin?
I don't use Dropbox and do not intend to disparage Dropbox by stating a recent book about hackers and those who hound them seems to indicate Dropbox is not as secure as some my think. Your mileage may vary.
