Not sure if we are getting wires crossed.

For example using number of trades as a scoring system:

- A trader on Bisq selling BTC has completed +100 trades, and they are then given a `+100` score on Bisq.
- The trader is happy, they can show other trades they have successful completed over 100 trades, this will likely lead to increased buyer confidence. 
- Trader is in a country where to buy/sell BTC they need to be licensed by the relevant financial authorities, they are not
- The financial authorities in that country decide they should crack down on unlicensed traders. They decide the easiest way to do this is to target traders on P2P platforms. They start with the traders that have completed the most trades.
- The financial authorities complete buy BTC from all traders with a `+100` score on Bisq. They use the information they get from the trade; name, account number, financial institution etc to ascertain the traders details. They then take this information to the financial institution and ask for a copy of the trader's full account history (all transactions, balances, KYC etc).
- The financial authorities are happy they have enough information to charge the trader with operating an unlicensed Bitcoin exchange.
- The financial authorities also ask the tax authorities what tax has been paid on the sale. If not enough tax have been paid the trader will be charged for this too.
- Trader is unhappy as they are charged with running an unlicensed Bitcoin exchange and tax evasion.
