So we've seen several VPN services that have proven to be malicious, insofar as selling your browsing history to advertisers (see Hola Better Internet[0]), but have we actually seen a VPN provider being a 'honeypot' yet?

I guess we should qualify the term. In my mind, that would be a hostile government who sets up a VPN service for the purpose of attracting citizens who wish to avoid their censorship, and then arresting the users.

Some Tor relays are absolutely honeypots
