Fraudsters Selling Stolen Data

i don't understand why people sell stolen credit cards and fake money on the darknet.

would it not be more profitable for them to use the accounts and money themselves rather than selling them at a discount?

does anyone know why fraudsters sell the data rather than keeping and using for their own?

i don't know much about how this illegal trade works, but i probably sound like LE asking these questions, but i'm not. just curious.

i stay away from this stuff on the DNMs because i'm only there for the drugs. i have a moral issue with the other stuff. but anyways, if you know anything about how stolen credit cards and data being sold works, please pm me if you wish to keep private or shoot me a reply on the post.

thanks!

You're less likely to get caught selling it than using it, lmao

The people that obtain a lot of this data from breached systems typically have huge databases of the information. It makes more sense to just sell them individually to others to turn a profit from it than rather attempt to cash them all out.

It would take much longer and they are putting themselves at a much larger risk by doing so.

Many of these vendors have separate auto shops that you can make purchases from and get it delivered instantly. So they can sell them with little effort and continue to earn money as long as they keep the site filled with fresh bases.
