I am willing to cooperate with police on real scams. Whenever someone asks me to release a scammer's IP, I tell them to have police email me from an official police address. I have received police requests a handful of times. Mostly the cases were real scams and I gave the police the requested info. In some cases I've rejected their requests. For example, I refused to give information to some foreign version of the SEC because securities laws are unjust. Of course, you should not trust that I will act in your best interest. If you want to be anonymous, then you must use Tor (or whatever).

Yeah, I am aware of this but I said in practice I have never seen it. May be h4ns can talk prior about this with theymos before going for such steps if he really wants.

But here is my question that is concerning me:

What we as a community do when we know that there are some bad force behind something and someone (x) is blackmailing someone else (y) to drop a claim because he (x) has such information to put him (y) trouble in real life.

Do we allow the person x to do such thing? If not then how to we keep the community safe from such person so that some other user (z) does not fall a victim of the same?
