Organized crime is laundering money through Fortnite's in-game currency

I don’t understand how these schemes work in a game that has no player to player transactions. Are there really that many people willing to buy an account with some stuff and abandon their existing account? I guess account merging across the various platforms creates a limited opportunity to transfer something. Each account can be merged into what I guess 3 or 4 times. Each account can be merged from only once.
