...and also taking a cut from the criminals doesn't makes him a dishonest person.
Really? So if I ran a service working with someone like master-P, I would not be dishonest if I were to take a cut of any coins he scammed in exchange for changing them to another currency? Do you seriously believe this?
What he did off this forum was totally his choices ,as far as rep on this forum is considered I'd say he deserved it.
So because he had lots of points on a forum he deserves the $40k that he stole? Am I misunderstanding?
