I find it fascinating thought that buying an account for the purpose of scamming does not seem to ROI.


There's no actual evidence here whether it does or doesn't.  This is the usual QS masterbation story, he's linking us to a thread in which he follows up on a Stunna accusation and takes credit for it in order to inflate his ego.  It's anecdotal at best, and given that all QS anecdotes are about how great he is in his own eyes, it's certainaly a questionable anecdote w.r.t. facts.

Be that as it may, but is there any evidence that its the other way around? The scam ponzi investor based games section is filled by newbie accounts. Among ranks, the newbies will most likely have the highest percentage of negative ratings. The loan section alone produces them daily.

It certainly makes sense that buying an account for a scam does not ROI. Considering how accounts are valued as collateral items in the loaning section, the amount you could get with an account is typically in the "I could just sell it quickly and still make a little profit" area. I just wonder how this pans out so nicely. How to people know how much is an account worth, its not like there is an official price list.
