If your general thought on the forum is shared by a wider audience then it portrays the forum in a very bad light.
The "light", in some way, doesn't matter. A crime is a crime whether it's done in dark or in broad light, whether a lot of people talk about it or no one cares.
Tolerance, rationality, and forgiveness can be very desirable attributes of a community. Thuggish behavior from established members can also paint a community in a bad light.
I hope others do not see it as bad because the past positive conduct of someone cannot negate the negligence and scam of the present.
It depends on what you call "positive" conduct. I believe this means fair trades. It's not like he's a big donor or he's so much useful to the community in some other way. That's what normal decent people should do. It does not entitle them to scam other people, who by the way may have never benefited from his previous "services" anyway.
This happens in real life all the time, because real people are not vampires. The courts often take previous criminal history into account when determining adequate punishment. Justice isn't only about punishment and retribution, it requires understanding, patience, tolerance, and forgiveness.
I think there might be a few more red tags from users here and there as they discover threads about the Royse777/Bitlucy scam but most probably other DT members will not tag red otherwise it would have been done by now.
I have to agree.

No, he won't. Not for this, anyway. I predict that the two remaining DT tags on Royse777's wall will largely go ignored. One is from JigglyGoods, THE Trust System Spammer; the other from a newbie who uses the slightest drama to demonize those involved with casinos that don't subscribe to his service. Both are transparently ridiculous.
