The benefit would be that the community can make an idea about whether a
broker's info can be reliable or not. There are brokers that never brokered
a transaction.

although you wouldn't like people to see that I've brokered the most
transfers, it's quite possible you would broker more transfers than me in

time. I also think that at least the law enforcement agencies (from my past
cooperation with them in the past) would benefit of this clarification.
