If law enforcement were smart the "seller's" public key would be part of a keypair made by LEOs.

As I understand it, most sellers have their public keys available from several sources and savvy buyers will cross-verify them. It would probably raise too much suspicion of LE swapped out the keys and there was a discrepancy with the cross-references.

The website Grams kept a list of vendor's public keys. It appears from cross checking against that roster that not all keys were changed.
