Chris Hannifin: A Treasure Trove of Knowledge and a Foreign Agent?

Hannifin is a controversial figure who has built a reputation as an industry gold mine of classified information, proprietary company best practices, and expertise in the inner workings of the US Air Force and government. Hannifin managed to create this reputation after a series of incidents marred by exploitation, job hopping, title stacking, and scorched earth tactics.
Having worked in the US Air Force for nearly 20 years, on a mixture of projects ranging from classified government contracts to overseeing sensitive projects in companies like EY, Silotech, RM, and USAA, Hannifin has become an incredible asset for niche, and often shady buyers.

The information Hannifin sells teeters on the line of endangering national security interests.
