So the solution is simple: I sell Alice a new report on Bob's new identity, after doing the appropriate research and employing the relevant investigators. All credit is a gamble. If I know a person's meatspace identity and ties with religious/social/family groups, I'm far more likely to lend them money then if they're using a throwaway hushmail account. If Bob is doing the latter, he won't get credit in the first place. If he's using a known meatspace identity, I can do the research and likely succeed. -Declan
