I think there are so many new people each week here that someone who did wrong in the past can lay low for a bit and then start right back up. There aren't really any safe guards to protect anyone from those who want to scam others.
People need to use their brains and remember if something looks to good to be true it likely is. "Caveat emptor" as they say.
With that said being able to look back on ones history should allow people to make much more informed decisions on a persons intentions. But people need to do the work.
Honestly it's nice to think snakes change, but really all they do is shed their skin and wear slightly different colors...yet still a snake.
I think this has already been happening with a few of the core Bitconnect people. How long until the scam a few more billion?
Yeah it's kind of scary the lack of morals some people have. The worst part is if these people put as much effort into something legit they would probably do great things.
Yes, it is a shame indeed. People put so much effort into scam when they could probably do so much good with the same volume.
Wonder if anyone is keeping a solid list of know steemit scammers that can be referenced. One which showed why they are on the list with some detail so it can be trusted.
Not sure but there may be risks with that too due to objectivity and proof. I'd rather not have the Salem witch trials :)
That is a good point. Who would be trusted to keep such a list and then at what point do they become corrupted as Power Corrupts All.
