Was thinking the same. I wonder if there is a market selling "ready to move in" identities

Yeah, social media profiles are bought and sold like commodities daily. Look for "bots" in the news for examples.

From what I understand this is an actual thriving industry already. Traditional identity theft (get someone's SSN and other info and open credit lines in their name) is much harder now, so the fraudsters have moved on to creating wholly made up "synthetic identities" de novo.

That's different goods.

I mean identities that span across several networks and include emails, aged cookies, fake fingeprint generator, etc
