I find it funny that both Hacking Team and Gamma Group kept repeatedly claiming they do not sell to sanctioned governments, or governments with human rights issues, when they both clearly were behind the scenes. It's a pretty easy thing to prove as false. Why lie so blatantly when you know you'll probably get caught one day? Even if you don't get breached, one of the unethical governments you sell to will get breached or have some sort of leak, and your relationship with them will be uncovered.
I imagine they both do it because there just isn't enough money in having 8 or so customers that you sell 1-2 products to when you can have 30+ customers.
