The problem lies in that its the five nuyen sales that catch you.
All the corps need is one player to muck up his SIN, then run a
statistical analysis on all individuals who purchesed goods in that
place or used the airport at the same time as the character. This
obiously narrows the search down seriously, now look for matchs that
occur say 25% of the time or better. Uses said individuals with 25%+
association with character. Before long the entire groups SIN's are
compremised.

Ways out. Use your SIN as little as possible. When having to use
transport to other locations break up group go individually, if
member X has to go through Fiji on his way to Upper Malta so be it.
Use multiple SINs and IDs. Make sure that you have a well paid decker
watching your accounts for unusal financial requests from the tax man
etc etc etc.

Anyway in our campaign we play that certified cred is the current
equivilent of cash. SIN cred sticks are the credit cards, checks etc
of current era.
