Any abuse that can occur <dramatic pause> will occur.
Yes. Before the George W. Bush presidency, nobody thought the government could hijack aircraft with remote control units and fly them into the world trade center. Sure it was the plot to the pilot episode of a TV show that was a spin-off from the X-Files that aired six months prior to 9/11, but nobody really thought it would happen in real life.
I've considered making and selling wikipedia admin accounts myself, but it would take a lot of work. For instance, DerHexer spent 8 hours a day for six months I believe on vandal-fighting and that's even a good kind of scenario where his background on the German wikipedia made his election easy. To sell an account you did that for, consider dividing a yearly sallary you want by two. Want $50,000K a year, the account must sell for $25,000. But most people don't want to pay over $1000 for an admin account.
