great article but it kind of petered off at the end... why not highlight what folks have gone on to do post @stake?

they got acquired by Symantec. Mudge went on to work with the DoD to development a cyber fasttrack program, Weld started and recently sold Veracode, Katie started the bug bounty at Microsoft, Joe Grand is still doing his thing w/ HW etc...

these folks really are self-made titans of the industry and a true testament to meritocracy and the hacker ethos. They legitamized security research as we know it.
