I'm pretty sure it would be illegal for 4aaS firms to use the data they get through this service to front run the market.


> I'm pretty sure it would be illegal

Doesn't mean they won't do it. I don't know why I'm being downvoted here. It's a statement of fact. You see the same thing happening with investment banks, with the buy side front running sell side clients across that oh so opaque Chinese wall every so often.

This stuff happens. I'm not saying it will happen in this case, but it is a reasonable possibility.


How exactly world you pitch that in your business plan? Under the 'Illegal but potentially lucrative' category? :) Might add well throw in some drug running on the side as well.


Under the "every one of you knows what we're doing, we know that you really, realy need us, so let's not talk about this out loud, shall we?" category ;).
