2) If this criminal environment of anarchy persists, you will start to see the same type of "competition" that exists in any unregulated underground business. In absence of legal conflict resolution, violence fills the vacuum. I'm surprised we haven't seen this yet, considering the scale of losses involved. Emotions run high, and thieves eventually steal from the wrong person. It may be an angry ex-webmaster turned vigilante, or a rival organization, but when there's big money at stake, and no rules or authority to turn to, history and human nature suggest that business gets bloody.

Either way, the guys who think they're smart and getting away with everything now probably won't get away with it forever. If they think there won't be repercussions, I think they're being dangerously naive. You fuck with peoples money, people do crazy irrational things. Personally, I wouldn't want to have to live looking over my shoulder like that.
