No one can punish them for the ICO or other scamer in the crypto world because it is difficult to do with no evidence and where they are so that the ICO continues to roam with no punishment for them so this is more difficult.
In 2018 the ICO boom has begun to occur and it is there that gamers always make actions with their platforms by cheating many people with investors' money and the only way you have to be more careful because if you are careless in doing so you will lose your money.
All you can do is higher standards of verification on IEO platforms or launchpad's. Also, only in terms of ICO/IEO/STO/ITO I'm a supporter of more regulations and higher standards in terms of verification process before launching fundrising on any platform, community should be active and warn as many people as it is possible when any scam warnings are on the table.
