TBH I think these guys who played into the scheme should lose their money as a lesson to what happens when you give your trust away to people who don't deserve it. But I'm just hardcore like that.

So, when someone is victim of a crime it's their fault and they should be punished for being scammed?

I already saw some similar schemes being discussed in this forum, Onecoin comes to mind.

They allowed themselves to be scammed; it's like leaving all your doors and windows open on your car with the keys in the ignition and then complaining someone took it. Sometimes it can't be helped, but bad business practices are not one of those cases. The schemers did not steal this money, it was given to them.

Even if you let your car like that and someone stole it you're still the victim and you didn't deserve that.

You should not and can not blame the victim.

Just saw this, but you're right.

The victim is not wrong. The criminal is.

That is why we have a justice system - which despite any flaws - exists to bring justice to criminals who wrong others.
