Yeah it does sound like a honeypot.

  I was thinking 'honeypot', too. It makes me think of scantily-clad, female undercover cops, walking the streets, looking to arrest johns for solicitation. Walking the streets, looking and talking sexy isn't illegal. But soliciting someone for sex is. So, not a lawyer, but I'm guessing that talking about online crime and even putting "hacked accounts" up for sale isn't illegal, but knowingly trying to purchase is.

    > even putting "hacked accounts" up for sale isn't illegal IANAL, but isn't it kind of a weird Catch-22, where if weren't illegal, it could be prosecuted as some sort of fraud?

      That sounds like a someone calling the cops because the meth they bought was fake, which I've heard actually happens. LOL

        Kinda, not really. PII data sales are legal, but I'd imagine putting fake info and selling it may be on that fuzzy line.
