Did you get a feel of the education/income/social status of the group you saw? I wonder if they try to recruit a certain type of person.

I learned that some of the people there were really high-profile, but I don't know the percentages. On the other hand, some others were perfectly ordinary folk, so if there is a preference it's not exclusive.

For example I remember that one guy (they said) had a company selling electronics, and gave others lots of expensive presents ("presents"?) like Alienware gaming hardware etc.
