Is this any different from the stock market? There are about 6000 companies listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ. According to [1] there are about 10,000 penny stocks traded OTC. Not every NYSE/NASDAQ company is legit and not every penny stock is a scam, but we're still looking at an awful lot of fraud out there.
Seems like the incentives for financial fraud are obvious and eternal.
