Wrong! The CISSP was always a requirement. I have heard him from day one saying that on War Room. The $5M was only added recently. AFTER the CISSP was required, which is from the beginning. Sorry.
Every article I have read from news sources does not mention the CISSP requirement. I did not go to the frankspeech site (yet), as they want a phone number, and I won't provide unless no other choice to review the data.
