You must have got something wrong, BitShares has nothing to do with "a confirmed scammer" as you say, here's its team in case you're truly interested beyond mere baseless accusations:
http://bitshares.org/community/team/"Come-from-Above" has nothing to do with BitShares development if this is what you're trying to suggest.

Spoetnik, please do a basic research about BitShares. You will be surprised(in a good way)

I for one have done it and I do not like what I've found about it.
How does the average person know that a scammer doesn't have anything to do with a coin? He's promoting it as well. I do not like the block time at all. Besides however you label it, it is still an
altcoin and dust compared to Bitcoin.
Don't get me wrong I do not hold Bitshare nor do I have anything against it, I just don't like IPO coins.
