1) Mod's at 2p2 are for the most part assumed to be well known and trusted(not saying this is smart/a good idea, but its certainly the case). What's to stop him from making some giganto prop bet for upwards of 2-3k, and not paying if he loses? Free EV here, or what's to stop him from doing a FTP/Stars transfer and just keeping 5-10K?

This is true of pretty much any account with 2500+ posts. Once you've posted that much, should there be a series of ethical tests and quizzes (each more ornate than the last) that one must pass in order to continue posting? In any case, it's not 2+2's responsibility to provide any kind of guarantee of honorable behavior in transactions among various members of the community, and setting themselves up to even appear as such seems like a bad idea to me.
