In the case of an account, the person who originally owns the account is blamed if the buyer is a fraud.
Which is complete and utter nonsense. Why would you blame someone for selling their account if the new owner does shenanigans with it?
If you find it nonsense, then I'll need to tell PayPal and other websites as well that their TOC is utter nonsense right?
I am not only talking about bitcointalk accounts but also about all those accounts of websites that find it illegal and against their TOC.
For eg: If anyone gives their house on rent (which is legal) to a wrong person, what would be the outcome? Not only the person who was staying in the house will be blamed but also the person who owns the house. You will say that the owner has nothing to do with the crime but without any verification, selling/renting anything is considered wrong.
