Here's a blackhat business model:

1. Be an attractive woman

2. Get a number of spy cameras and invites these parties

3. Get photos of the richest people in SV in compromising positions

4. Move to your favorite non-extradition country.

5. Extort them over TOR for $1M in Bitcoin or else you'll release the pictures to all of their families, partners, boards, clients, and tech blogs.

If you know where the parties are held, some drone photography could achieve similar results without revealing your own identity or needing to get an invite.

Wasn't this basically episode 2 of season 3 of "Black Mirror"?

Pretty much :-D

Extorting them to do specific actions would certainly be more interesting. If you could get dirt on 1% of SV's 1%, you could use their power to change the region significantly.
