Maybe this is to much to ask?

But could the mods or a very nice user among us, compile a list of arrested vendors, with an article of their arrest. And any info on how they got caught, and then could a mod add that to the side bar. I think itd be good to have a place for aspiring vendors to check how other vendors have fucked up and then see the time they are doing. So that the ones that are faint hearted dont start. I think itd just be a good thing for the community. Maybe not, whatever happens is fine, just wannted to throw it out.

a mod, /u/gwern, has already done this, and organized by country.

Very good idea, seriously.

It also helps us. Look at xK... Poor saps who resent their addy

AMVD has a watchlist

they don't give any background but it's a good place to start.

IIRC they are also working on a scammer watchlist

Keep in mind, parallel construction is always a possibility. I suspect LE would be unlikely to want to reveal precisely how they make busts.
