What Happened with the Grugq Article?

Question

I've been researching zero day exploit marketplace for a project and in my research keep finding references to a 'destructive' Andy Greenberg article about The Grugq that 'destroyed' his career and is a privacy lesson. Why? what was so bad about the article, what did Grenberg say? I cannot figure it out.

I don&rsquo;t think there was anything wrong with the article, but maybe the fact it exposed some shady government practices that time, better cut the loose end and/or recycle it.
