couldnt have been stolen cc's the credit card company would have shut them down when they detected unusual spending. i would imagine they were just going to the high purchase sale items 'saying' they would pay such and such an amount and were to work it out with the seller and just moved onto the next sale with out doing so. closing down the auctions as they went. plus they never received any of the "stolen" merchandise. although they have collected a few good felony charges i doubt grand larceny or credit card fraud are amoung them

just a guess i could and probably am wrong.
