In all seriousness do they have any way to detect sabotage of this sort?

From the article, it appears they can't even detect obvious fraud, so I'm assuming that the answer is no.

The moral of the story was that Stripes REAL concern was to keep good numbers for their upstream provider. (as an agent/ISO). So... targeted chargebacks probably would have the intended effect.
