I've mentioned a "market of lemons" elsewhere in this thread. One such market is the market for malware and stolen credit card details. One result of the market being broken: serious criminals restrict themselves to very small (company like) social circles and invite only forums. One signal of trust that remained very long: a very short ICQ number. You don't want to burn such a handle with a bad trade, so trust was given upfront.
