The probably isn’t that he probably can’t do sales it’s probably that he can’t do public sales xD he probably uses multiple aliases and vpns and dual booted computers with the OS on flash drives to make his TYPE of sales. He probably sells malware or some kind of software that phishes or illegally harvests data off those ‘databases’ that or the material being stored on those databases is VERY “”hot”” and illicit materials. Either way not implicating your public identity at a comedy show as committing a crime for a electronical warrant to put on you later is probably his aim. That or a very private person but judging by the guarded nature of both individuals it’s probably illicit trade materials lol
