The china talk page points to an article about crypto currency stolen credit cards. If I believed every random X account i would have to believe too many false things. Not really convinced my guy.

  • The companies running these proxy stations are already:

    1) Using botnets to mass-create thousands of accounts

    2) Blatantly violating ToS by splitting and reselling accounts

    3) Creating thousands of accounts using fraudulent identities

    4) Bypassing KYC by recruiting real people in low-income countries for biometric face-matching checks for a few dollars

    5) Using AI deepfakes to fake passports / verification credentials

    But if you believe that payments fraud is the one ethical line these syndicates refuse to cross, there's not much else I can say to convince you.
