It's the lack of bounties that actually makes the black market. If Linda could legitimately hunt down escapees and bring them back to be collared, she wouldn't need to sell them illegitimately via corrupt BAF officers to get them back into the system. Slave Laundering is probably quite an advanced science and as the BAF cracks down on it, I can imagine the black-marketeers  getting more sophisticated in avoiding the checks and exploiting the remaining loopholes, or possibly creating new loopholes.<br/><br/>Hai and I have discussed the actual process to launder a slave, via the usual route. To do so via the black market would require a significant bribe to someone in power, I think...?
