Also, there seems to be an assumption of zero cost-savings due to fraud. If I had stolen plastic, I'd probably want to use it to travel (and I'd likely have stolen ID to go along with it) just as I'd use it for other stuff (assuming I'm a crook here, I actually have no desire for stolen plastic cards). I was really just throwing the idea out, I don't have the e-gold to pay JP' s company to do it, but if I did I'd want just a robot that sells tickets to valid email addresses at a small discount (accumulating e-gold at spot) while my other robot tries to sell that same e-metal at a small mark-up. (I would be filling my usual role in this fantasy, sipping a slushy rumdrink in a random tropical location.) I don't think all travel agents can avoid getting this clue by Christmas. One chargeback, at a 100% loss, to one of them should do the trick, IMO...
