There's the real black market niche I'd be willing to buy into.
"Pssst, hey buddy, I got this high paying job with good health plans, lots of vacation, and 100% remote... The only downside is that...". "I GIVE NO FUCKS! JUST TELL ME WHO I HAVE TO KILL!". "Woah there bud, we just need you to send some cash to North Korea and give us 5 stars on..."
"I WILL KILL ANYONE WHO GIVES YOU LESS THAN ALL OF THE STARS!"

i can even kind of think of how to manage something like that, it would just work on only with 100% remote work and would also require quite a lot of cooperation, competency and trust from the clients. and it would still require you to "acquire the goods", as in get a job. But then you could share it with other people. So in the end multiple people would be pretending to be one person, but since the load is shared each could do multiple different "persons".
