Infiltrating carder/RBN/etc economies?

[Bruce Ediger <eballen1 () qwest net>]

Someone posted this amusing article:

http://www.zdnet.co.uk/misc/print/0,1000000169,39291463-39001111c,00.htm

It's called "Cracking open the cybercrime economy".

Surely someone has "infiltrated" the carder social networks, or the spammer
social networks, just like those "suburban anti-jihadi" people have 
infiltrated the jihadi social networks, right?  Even back in the mid-90s,
one of the early anti-spam people infiltrated a few of the spammer's email
lists (the "Freedom Knights" come to mind) and posted a lot of pretty
enraging/embarassing emails.

Has someone infiltrated carder networks, or the RBN or whatever?

You can't tell me that some engineer an an MAE hasn't gotten a bur under
the saddle and done this: usenet spamming drove people clinically insane
enough to do "back spamming" and other unethical or illegal things.  DDOS
and botnets and stuff must have the same effect on others.

So, somebody get a hushmail account and spill the beans.  Dan Brown needs
new material!
