To pump up arrest or conviction stats.
I also remember reading, several years ago, that most web sites offering child porn were actually run by the FBI. No way of knowing if it’s true.
Could they reliably avoid leaks over long periods of time?
Would they need to? Any given site is easy enough to shut down if you’re the operator, and presumably the FBI would know how to cover it’s own tracks.
