1. Promoting ANN bumping group is not wrong nor illegal.
It certainly isn't illegal, but it's also something that legit projects simply won't do for many reasons, mostly because those who are offering such services are also ready to promote the scams, without any exception. Those who really want to promote the project in a honest way will just run a signature campaign.
2. Buying high ranking accounts is not wrong nor illegal.
True, not illegal but it is frowned upon, and for a good reason. Many sold accounts were used for scam purposes so that explains why buying/selling accounts will usually get you red tagged.
3. If a person was consulting an ICO that turned out to be dishonest, it doesn't mean that he did anything wrong or even knew about the scam. Or with that logic do you blame all workers of Mt. Gox and Blockchain.com for the scams their company did?
Again true, but when you combine that with all the others things he did, it becomes an issue.
By the way, there was no need for you to use a new account just to write all that, you could have just used your main account, Mr Poutintsev.
1. Just because some scam project used bumping services, it doesn't mean that trustworthy project can't use same services as well. It's the same if you claimed that law abiding citizens cannot buy hand guns, because criminals use them too.
2. People buy accounts, because it's almost impossible to get enough merit as a newbie. Old members like you never give merit to new members. Some buy old accounts to run the signature campaign, which you mentioned as alternative to bumping service. Everyone knows that as a newbie the things you can do on this forum are very limited, so that's the reason why people buy old accounts.
It looks like you have no better things to do.
There are actual criminals in crypto space who have stole money form other people. I suggest you to focus on them.
But instead you waste your time discussing a person who only does things that against your own moral code.
