If the scenario only takes the presence of lead into account, there's still a decent probability of lead vapor existing. You figure the vapor pressure of mercury is so well documented by experiments where ullage develops in a container filled in such a manner where no material other than mercury could be present; the same should be true of all materials subject to vacuum.
Or, put another way, your suggestion that lead would "freeze out" as soon as it hits the wall of its container suggests you could hit absolute vacuum (and thus absolute zero temperature) by simply waiting.

Normally I'd agree, but if the person in question is the sort who has enough money to change the dynamics of an entire market by throwing a tantrum, unfortunately someone needs to keep tabs on them.

3 x 10^-143.67 x 10^-12 Pa, actually, but I take your point.
