This might sound crazy and naive but this sounds like the most ripe area of cyber fraud: creating an ap/series of apps (inventory, sales, POS, etc) that supports this type of fraud...

They already exist... on the industrial scale. Which is where the rumored Wachovia laundering of mexican drug money was really active...

Yes, selling "licenses" which can be transferred, redeemed, and re-used is pretty plausible. However, your average Mexican cartel leader doesn't understand software, and is going to be a lot more comfortable with a sketchy mundane business where he can physically see it and understand it.

Cellphone stores are often used for this, I think, though.
