information broker
Sells secrets professionally
An information broker is someone who gathers, organizes, and sells data or intelligence to clients.
The term covers legitimate researchers who compile business intelligence or public records, as well as shadier operators who traffic in personal data, corporate secrets, or surveillance findings.
The information broker had files on half the politicians in the state.
In fiction, information brokers appear as underworld figures who know everyone's secrets and sell to the highest bidder.
