Finally; I am tilting so hard to read that people have any reservations whatsoever about you getting paid for this - any idea what the Big 4 charges for a technical due diligence and data gathering trip like this one? We are getting a hell of bargain by having you do this for us and I for one am immensely grateful.

The Big 4 or any other established auditing or consulting firm would not risk their reputation by being associated with an online gaming company.

Edit: I might have read your question wrong. For a baseline, a senior technical consultant for the Big 4 would be billed for at least $200 per hour (probably more like $230-$250) plus all expenses incurred on the trip. Put together a small team of 2 or 3 individuals for a couple week investigation and it could easily push $50K.
