For newbies, however, most of them are not after day trading. They create an account in any exchange where their shitcoins are listed. However scammy the exchange may look like, for as long as it is the only place where they could claim their airdrop or bounty proceeds they will head there. They don't have much of a choice, after all.

If this is the case, at the very least, newbies should pull out their funds as soon as their tokens are converted into BTC or whatever top coin they traded their shitcoins with. They should know better than keep their funds there, or perhaps even continue to use the same platform for future trading activities.
