Comex, the creator of the JailbreakMe and Spirit jailbreaks, is answering questions from the jailbreak community via a thread on Reddit.
As requested. Dunno if this is IAmA material, so I'll do it in /r/iphone.
I wrote most of JailbreakMe.com 2.0 and 3.0; before that I did Spirit and some Wii hax.
There was a Forbes article about me recently; I tend to get embarrassed by media coverage but it's accurate enough.
As I recently tweeted, I am starting an internship with Apple, but I can't answer questions about that, only about past stuff.

Have you made any money from the jb scene?

I've made a good amount of money through donations, which is mostly being used to help pay for college. JailbreakMe 2.0 was like $40,000; 3.0 was $15,000 (not quite sure why it decreased).
