You don't mix things, MZ.  I admited that I was experimenting with bots using TFs approval and help.  I admited that there were a million bots on that site and that I was merely one of many people experiminting and learing about the API. I admitted that it was my first time dealing with asynchronous code and that I made mistakes.  I never found out if or how much I might have gotten from any mistakes because TF was making up numbers (lying!) about how much he wanted repaid.  If he had been more reasonably, it's completely possible that I owe him 10Ksat or something like that.  However, he wouldn't be talked to about it.  He merely said PAY BACK X OR BE BANNED.  And every time he said X it was different.  His first X was like 1.5 bitcoin which I didn't even have at the time (it was waaaaay more than I had withdrawn from his site, ever), then he started picking other numbers but wouldn't say how he was generating them.  Sounds a lot like a scammer himself, right?  Well, what has history shown us here?  And what would you do in such a situation?

It seems more like a violation of a site's TOS, than a scam, and not really deserving of negative trust. If that deserves negative trust, then so do people who abuse dropbox referrals, or buy Facebook/youtube likes and views, pay people for using their referral links, buy and use .edu mails to get discounts on whatever, etc. All these actions harm the company or other users in some way.
