Purse.io provides 25% discounts to shop on Amazon with bitcoin. Pretty incredible - discount comes from liquidating Amazon gift cards ($15b in circulation).

It mostly comes from people buying Amazon gift cards with stolen credit cards.

I wouldn't get anywhere near that site.

Yes, it turns out that blatant fraud saves money. The site is a stolen credit card launderer.
