The salient points raised in the news article are some of the reasons why I partly support government regulation of these ICOs. The system is just so messed up with individuals and groups who have no business doing ICOs in the first place. There are many ICO projects out there that do not need the amount there are trying to raise.
the same as what is happening in the forum. A lot of scammers and some nonesense services which they say its free but later on will ask for money. Good thing we have also a growing number of forum "cops". I think these should also be the same around the web in terms of catching these websites, As a common user we have tendency to neglict and just ignore as long as we are not scammed. But i hope we would also at least bring them to spotlight and take actions against them. Because 3.7B is quite high for just annonymous deals.
