I understand that spoofing one's identity is an easy enough task with tor, fly-by-night VPS's, etc., but when transfer of money is involved, could not security experts set up "honeypot" traps to get at the origin of these attacks? By seeing where the money is essentially ending up?

In theory, probably yes. In practice, good luck getting the police to do cross-border investigations into a crime they don't understand and that causes ~$16 in damage per victim.
