Totally agree with you here. I'm more than willing to remove any red tags I have left for ICOs or other projects in the team in question can provide evidence that I was wrong. Most of the time they just disappear after being red tagged. The closest one got was to claim that a third party had written their plagiarized whitepaper for them, it wasn't their fault, and that they would sort it all out. They sorted it out by just deleting the whitepaper altogether and not having one at all.

That is always their scapegoat right there, they will always tell us that it is an isolated case that they were not aware of. Everytime they got tagged they will have some kind of damage control where they will replace/delete the whitepaper and go as far as creating a new team identity which are all red flags of a scam still trying to pursue their fake project.
There are also guys like this one:
Stock photos were used , bought under a licence.
ICO will contiune. End of talk.
Using stock images is not a crime, and it is absolutely legal to use aliases and stock images.
As many other do and have done in the past.
Which are self-admitted criminals and they are claiming that what they are doing is not wrong. Of course these guys deserves a red tag right away with no questions ask.
