I cannot give less fucks about what is a crime or what is legal, as long as i feel it's logical or within my boundaries.
That's meaningless to anyone else except you, since you've already shown behavior incompatible with participating in an online discussion forum.
I'm pretty sure most scammers consider their scams within their boundaries too.
My threat was towards someone that knowingly driven people towards a scam and you defended him and now cannot step back obviously.
That post has been edited too many times and I'm too damn tired to think clearly.
You no different than a scammer by defending such behaviour.
