(Identity theft is also the perfect precursor to evading what payment- and identity- checks do exist in an AirBnb-like system.)



Interesting; thanks for the link. That's kind of a fascinating connection between drug chemistry, socioeconomic settings, and crime. Given that background, two meth-use-with-ID-theft incidents don't seem as weird to find in an AirBnB-like setting, which seems almost perfect for the kinds of people described in that article.
