Where/how do people get 100.000 SIM cards?

The cards are the easy part. It's setting up 100,000 accounts where you run into trouble. There was some traceable payment methods in use here, which might be how they got busted by the Secret Service. The whole thing could have been fallout from an earlier counterfeiting operation.

100k Not sure. Good question! 100 is easy, in NL you can just grab boxes of them at certain phone shops, Lebara etc. These are free and anonymous. Sometimes they will stop you and say: these are only for clients, other times they are happy if you take the whole box of 100pcs.
