On Edit: It's not real. It's marketing for HBO and Cinemax. Probably a movie.

Check out the video at the front of their website.

They protect the ones that matter (not us) from the restless masses (us).

I checked out their web site -- they specialized in providing security for top execs when traveling, etc.

This is no doubt a legitimate business; even mid- to lower-level executives can be vulnerable when traveling, particularly abroad. Many companies provide this type of security.

But by advertising in such a provocative manner, Byzantium is just putting fuel on the fire... I guess it could be their way of driving up demand for their services.
