You make excellent points and I agree that the reason to make a 'snuff' movie would be money. However, if one was made it would ultimately be greed that would reveal it's existence.

If I made you a movie and you paid me $1m for it, even if we had an exclusive deal agreement, the temptation to run off a few more copies would be too tempting. If I broke our deal and sold a dozen copies for similar money, I can promise you you'd have serious problems tracking me down. It's pretty easy to get lost with all that dough.

Similarly, if I paid $1m for you to make me a 'snuff' movie, there would be tremendous temptation to make a few copies to sell and recoup my initial investment.

It seems like the only way it can exist is under very particular circumstances that involve a wall of silence and professional criminals who implicitly trust one another. Possible but unlikely.
