That would impede their money laundering and stolen credit card revenue…

Money laundering might be a thing, but I can't see how they could benefit from stolen credit cards. They have to refund when the card owner contacts their bank, don't they?

That assumes the cardholder actually realizes their card has been stolen. Many people may not notice an extra $50/month being siphoned from them, especially if they already use Amazon.

Why didn't I realize this before? I'm laughing at myself this makes so much sense now.
