So, I see a few red flags with that statement, Brian. I'm familiar with one of Brian Sapient's sites (rationalresponders), and unless the site is a *lot* busier than the forum activity seems to indicate, $200/mo for DDOS protection would be an enormous waste of money because the free Cloudflare service would almost certainly suffice.
His unwillingness to divulge details regarding what he intends to do with the money and what sites he is talking about informs me to be skeptical of his request.
