These organizations are based out of countries with corrupt governments, where law enforcement from the rest of the world can't easily reach. You can track a credit card peddler to Russia, but you can't do much about them there.

> Why are the law enforcers (or the banks, or other appropriate organizations) not goiging after these "re-sellers", atleast to find/track the original thieves?

Um, who says they're not?

I know someone who works for an insurance company that covers credit card and identity fraud. They are actively monitoring these sites for their costumers information. Even though that's a private company, I wouldn't be surprised if government organisations do the same.

And following LeCarré, I could easily envision some entities searching for and holding certain of these acquired credit card numbers in reserve, should there be a need to charge p*rn or some financially questionable charges onto those account holders they care to call into question.
