Stefan Esser is a well know iOS security researcher that is well known to be (and vocal about) keeping private jailbreaks.
This makes sense considering the platform - burning an exploit would render it unnecessarily difficult to continue research on future versions of iOS.
Keep this in mind when you think about Apple's recent bug bounty program. Anyone who has been sitting on some private jailbreaks might be tempted to collect $200k, no?
A jailbreak is worth $1 million. See http://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2015/06/26/china-...
