I'm not justifying what the scammer you mentioned above did, but both of you deserve punishment, not just one of you. What you're going through now may be a lesson to stop the nonsense you're trying to get others to help you with.
I agree with you the Op should be punished as the OP is trying to hack the system which is not legit and it will be committed for stealing funds or something like that. ANd the accused person should be punished as the accused person tried to help the OP or as the accused person has taken money from the OP.
