I began visiting this forum a few months ago, and since I have been here I have been baffled by the proliferation of banking and security scams and frauds. Every "business" I have looked at has been nothing more than a poorly hidden scheme to seperate fools from their money.
So, why do you think scams are operated so freely here? Lack of moderation on the forum? A community to greedy to care? Is it just the anonymity and the (until recently) lack of punishment and law enforcement?
Why shouldn't the forums (and bitcoin overall) be shut down? Why shouldn't a central authority be set up to tackle the frauds that are so endemic in this community?
Right, the SEC and all government agencies always let every person know their intentions in public in advance all the time.
Hey you drug dealers in the house there, btw just thought you might want to know, there is a possibility since I have been watching you for a while now that I just might raid your sometime VERY soon. Just sayin.
