What stops someone in a wealthy country from just hiring a bunch of destitute people in a developing country for pennies and borrowing their Worldcoin identities to do bot-stuff? That's kind of how influence networks work anyway, individuals are paid to be indistinguishably legitimate users. It's not like some random guy trying to feed his family is going to give a shit about emailing you his private key if you'll send him some cash in exchange. Odds are he'll never use a "dapp" so it doesn't matter if you trash his Worldcoin identity for your own purpose.

This isn't crazy, people already do this with cell phone numbers for sites that force phone verification.

I guess, like any other identity, it could be used for fraud. Either by it’s owner or by someone who gained access to it.
