Whats to stop someone from getting a verified account for someone and them selling it to the highest bidder? Should Twitter now require that an account no longer from the verified person/org be reverified?

I mean, yes? If you're going to offer a feature that officially marks accounts that have proven their identity, then you need to revoke that marker when the identity changes. If that seems overly complicated, maybe the idea of officially verified accounts is problematic and complicated in other unaddressed ways?
