I’ve been reading threads on this board for a while, and I’ve seen numerous people say that certified cred is completely untraceable.
I’m wondering where this idea came from. Yes, it doesn’t have any ID associated with it, but it does have a serial number and there is a bank account associated with that serial number. So when corp a pays you with a certified credstick, they could theoretically track what, and where you purchased with it. You can’t just transfer it to another certified credstick either, because the bank will log that transaction and the serial number of the new credstick. It isn’t perfect because you could always give the credstick away or it could be stolen from you. It really comes down to how interested is corp A in keeping tabs on you. I’ve been thinking about this for a while because of the rules for counterfeiting certified cred in SSG. The hardest part is always how do you clean it? |
