they buy keys using stolen credit cards and then resell them

And then the owner of the card issues a chargeback, so they lose more money (chargeback fees can be $25-$100) than if you'd have just torrented it.

Technically they could revoke the key as well, but that tends to cause a bit of fuss and bad PR so they don't often bother.

So the lesson is clear. Buy your keys on G2A with stolen credit cards.
