From today's #MoneyStuff, the question is raised: if Elon Musk is found to have violated securities law and must disgorge $143m in unjust earnings, but not enough specific victims can be found, what should happen?
High priced lawyers are busy arguing that courts cannot order repayment unless it goes to specific victims. And if no such victims can be identified then Elon gets to keep his cash, presumably. Giving the money back to the market makers who were the last link I the sale seems like an unjustified windfall. I am fine with the Treasury just keeping it, but I can see how that moves the cash from one category of penalty to another.
This I think is an area where cryptocurrency does actually have a useful innovation to contribute. If Mr. Musk has contributed a fraud on the market at large (a large distributed system in which it is hard to apportion losses.that match his gains) then we turn that around and spread the restitution out in a similar distributed fashion. Elon should have to buy a basket of equities and the "burn" it, reducing the number of shares that exist and thus increasing value for everyone else. (And also for him too, but we can solve that with the right math.)
There are no doubt some practical obstacles to overcome but I don't see any block in principle to the clearinghouse agreeing that those shares no longer exist.
Fraud Detection Shifts Toward Identity Intelligence
Fraud detection is evolving from simple verification to a more sophisticated approach: identity intelligence. This shift demands a new strategy to track down individuals who don't exist in the first place.

One of TV personality Dr. Phil’s maxims is that you should avoid debt at all costs. At the same time, his son Jay McGraw has been involved in the payday lending industry. @ProPublica collaborated with Anchorage Daily News on a story about his role in CreditServe Inc., a consulting firm that worked with a company owned by a Native American tribe in Alaska that offered small dollar loans, with interest rates as high as 700%. CreditServe provides the infrastructure to market, underwrite and collect on loans while “the Tribe is merely a front” and shares in only a small percentage of the revenue, according to a suit filed by five borrowers. They claim that McGraw has collected hundreds of millions of dollars of consumer payments.

Libraries of overlay icons have also been found to overlay and replace icons on each os also mimicking icons that make you think you are using ' secure ' settings also for common programs for communications.
This software is commonly used for investigation purposes but it's been see also primarily used as a financial crime tool in the South Eastern United States in Red States attacking Blue States since 2015 when it's source code was hacked.
