But if they are scammers they will not get caught. The BTC seller has sent his BTC and received funds from a stolen CC via the scammer. LE will try to get the scammer but will fail as they know how to hide in countries where they cannot access them. Then it's the question if the victim of the CC is held liable, e.g. does not get a refund for his loss or if the banks still try to do a chargeback. 
For me it sounds like the victim is held liable (to not secure his password) and the BTC seller should not get any chargeback issues. Also that would translate in the benefits for TW that they don't need to do the extra effort and paperwork to support chargeback. Otherwise they would not accept cc probably as the costs are too high. 

If so it is less of a problem for Bisq users. But there might be still an issue if they use such cases for flagging the receiver of the funds. I doubt that they are not doing that if they can. I think it depends on how secure 3D is in reality, e.g. statistics about fraud rate.
