SSL Certificates have NEVER been related to how trustworth a site is.
They are to secure the communication between you and the site, nothing more.
To obtain a valid one for a website, you must be able to prove you control the domain.
You can also issue yourself an SSL cert, but it wont be trusted by browsers, and will throw an error saying so, until you manually decide to accept it.
