just for 25 grand? He is either super greedy or to cheap.
In
many countries that's much more than the average annual income.
I know that, but how many years can he live with that 25k? Several years and then he must figure out how to scam again or fix reputation (which is impossible).
What significance does reputation on the forum have for scammers like these? And who is to say that this was the only account he had on the forum, given that he can so easily create / buy a new account and start over?
Do you want to say that he does not have any reputation here before?
A 10 month old Member account has no value. He had no reputation, I don't know how he got someone to hand over $25,000 (
or how much was it?). It just shows how dumb the entire bounty-scene is, and how much money they all "earn" out of hyping BS.
The scammer doesn't need to retire on this $25k, but it's more than he'd ever make legally by
managing spamming bounties.
