$40 per day is weak. Less than California minimum wage. And the risks are considerable. Reminds of the work of Sudhir Venkatesh who found that average wage for drug dealing grunt is about $3.30/hr - not far from what we're seeing here, though at least bot herder doesn't risk being shot.

If he has root-level control of the systems, why doesn't he install the needed drivers himself?

Somebody already asked him this question on reddit, but he didn't answer.

Does anyone have any idea why he wouldn't/couldn't/shouldn't install drivers himself?

Also, why not mine litecoins (cpu's are good at doing that, so no drivers needed and he can mine bitcoins at the same time) and sell them for bitcoins? They are worth enough that his profits would go up noticeably much.

Thanks for the summary.

People obviously think they're safe when they have an AV solution installed...
