Ok, here's an idea: Stop waiting for handouts on IRC, stop thinking about salvaging a few Satoshi, and nail the fucker to the wall. Grow some balls, get some self-respect, and act for the greater good. Bitcoin is full of scammers because it's like scamming on training wheels -- you fuck up, no biggie, just try again. If you want to scam with no consequences, come to Bitcoin. No one will ever fuck you back. Ever.

TL;DR: Thank you for bringing this shit to Bitcoin. Without marks like you, we'd have no scammers.

As cryptocurrencies rise in value - it becomes more and more practical for even those scammed out of small amounts of BTC.. to come knocking.
Scammers will have to spend a big percentage of their loot on personal security...
and forever is a long time to be looking over ones shoulder.

In case anyone misinterprets my remarks: I don't condone violence in this regard. It was simply an observation that in my opinion it's crazy to scam in such a global industry where the victims are holding a significantly appreciating asset - as you never know who is being burned and what they're capable of. I did not in any way intend this as a threat. I would only pursue legal options for redress.
Physical danger aside - scammers should realize that the scammed may have a growing pool of resources out of which to fund legal actions.
