As we all know still exit scam ICO's are victimizing investors including me in my frustration I wish these people be killed or if busted they must sentenced to death Penalty are you favor of it.

Last few months ICO was nearly stopped and Scammers were in rest. Now market conditions are becoming better and ICOs are getting more investors. That's why scammers are now becoming active to cheat and stole investors money by creating any fake project. Recently we have seen many scam projects in the ICOs. Investors should be aware of it.

It's not easy to give a death sentence to scammers, and you don't need to think far for that, you should be careful in participating in the ico project, do research first before you give your money.

For me it is very harsh to ask for death penalty but yes i agree that scammers should be brought to justice and if their scam is confirmed then they must be given strict punishments alongwith fund recogery and refund to investors, heavy fine and lifetime imprisonment. We need strict punishments so that no one commits scams again.

Can we break one of their legs first, then if they recidivate get the head? I think it would even be easier to do than directly killing them. But yeah we need some measure against them.

I do agree with the death penalties but according to the law. Because they steal people's hard working money! They don't know how much sorrow feeling happens when someone scammed from an ICO project! At least these people need to be caught but most of the scammers are very lucky, no one can find them after scam!

it's a very severe punishment for ICO scammers and it will be enough to take off all their money or other assets. it will help to reduce their quantity.

I think the death penalty is a little harsh but I know what you mean. These scammers are not only stealing our funds but destroying an industry. They are ruining the reputation or crypto currencies which could have a market cap 10x higher if not for them

In fact, you are right that fraudsters should be held responsible for the actions, but unfortunately in the field of cryptocurrency there is still no body that controls the legality of ico.

Well, just let the law take its right cause and never put justice in your own hands.
It is a fact that scammers have cause some people to shed tears and that is really disheartening.
I been a victim on some occasions, but that has also made me to learn my lessons and has made me to be whom I am today.

Aaaand you shitting yourself, ofcourse legaly that action will never be taken but.. you know, people sometimes knows and likes the fact that one can fix it's own problems, you and your kind be afraid of being doxxed because never never know what comes in the future.

What is really uncomprehensive is the sucess of ICO sites and exchanges accepting them or the listing fees or just the fact that even if you see its a scam you would go in AND promote it for a small profit.


----

I however got to the thought that not only the owners/doe-rs should be held responsible but the paid shills they use and the army of bounty accounts that just use the shills to pump their thread.
----

Lol there's no justice, you just a bit scared? Just don't worry, as your identities start going out so will lives or legs. We don't trust cops to fix our shit, remember that.
Laws don't do shit nor those legal companies that work with them either.

The death penalty according to me is not reasonable for fraud, the most important thing is that the scammers caught and entered into the prison have reduced the risk of fraud, which is clear that ICO is now starting to grow with such trends as ICO, IEO, STO

Well, of course, no one will kill them, but at least they should return all the money to people and go to jail

I understand your frustration, but death penalty is only applicable, when applicable, to death crimes, not money related issues.

I agree with this, its not easy give a death penalty to scammer. Yes we know they are worst people, lazy to work, but if talk about crime, fraud will not end so the solution is from ourself, dont not invest if you dont trust the project and make sure do own reseach, Of course see the team, real or not

As a hunter, I feel sad when they cheat me, but I don’t invest and lose money. Do not think about death. After all, life is bumirang and it can return to you. But fraudsters should be punished. But it is difficult to do in my opinion. transaction history is too difficult to track.

Yeah but before killing them, let's make them suffer !  ::) ::) ::)
Get some help op... seriously.

Maybe some people are caught up in fraud and that is nothing but the risk of investing in cryptocurrency that is put together in one space from around the world. in the world of increasingly advanced technology, smart people use it for crime for their own benefit. I strongly agree that hackers are given appropriate penalties but do not die because in my opinion if what they take can be returned sufficiently and only imprisoned.

If you will ask the community of working and investing in crypto world there will be 100% YES on this question.
But this topic should not taken place on this, ARE WE IN FAVOR OF DEATH PENALTY TO CORRUPT GOVERNMENT?
Are we in favor of letting plunderers to be sentenced to death? will hey allow it?

We need now is the regulation to keep the scammers away in the community and stop them on having their own ICO!

Do NOT Invest and Join ICO Bounties is the best punishment we can give them :D Let them waste their initial capital money to create their fancy website and whitepaper.

In the end they will stop launching their fake ICO company when they saw its not profitable anymore. But for as long as people keep joining their bounty program and they keep getting free marketing from unsuspecting bounty workers they will continue to multiply.

Well, crime orchestrators are supposed to be held responsible for their crimes but we shouldn't also forget that this is the internet we aee talking about. In fact it ia no ones fault that we didn't know about these scams and then we threw our monies into it but we didn't research further. In fact if we had consulted our country authorities qe would've been saved but since we are humans and the scent of money can't let us be, we hardened oyr ears and we ended up where we are now. I think we should use this opportunity to educate ourselves as well as our friends and family.

What ´s your advice? I agree with some penalization but how to? Only by contacting police and paying lawyers. But a lot of scam ICOs are left the game and noone from the team is convicted, that is not good!

I think you've come up with a cruel punishment for them. Of course it is very unpleasant, Cho there are people who are engaged in similar things, but we will be able to do nothing with it. After all, the death penalty is a very serious punishment, it seems to me that it is too tough to use it for scammers. There are more worthy people for this. But in any case, we can't decide.

I don't think that they really deserve it but if it is meant to lower the rate of scamming then it could be worth it,
But I think it wouldn't be really effective because scammer would just use a fake information.
And I think we don't really have the right to take away someone's life.

Well
First. U dont know anything about ico,u just think ico just like a investement,basicaly ico created for offering their shares of that project.
And how the hell u buying it even though you don't know anything about it.
Then, u and many people just came to ico because huge profit with short time
And then another people come to ico for creating money with fake ico and bite ur money.
I am not blame you,but u should understand ,know what will u lose first, than what will u get.

I dont think death is the best way to charge scammer. We dont need to do that to decrease scammer. for me, jail and publicize their identity are enough to make them detterent.

How can an exit scam or ICO scammers be compared with other crimes (capital offences) that are sancionted with death penalty? Anyone who favors such thing against scammers is dumb. A solid regulatory framework in the crypto space, especifically targeted towards ICOs, will take care of the problem in the long run.

You're frustrated, angry, I understand, but death penalty? C'mon, have some common sense.

I think that for fraud should not be death penalty. Yes, it certainly causes great hatred among people to such scammers, and this post shows that this is really a very acute situation, but still the death penalty for fraud, it's too much.

Hey I'd do the politicians myself, funniest part of the scamcoins is that they all look the same. Nowadays they don't even need to code to get an ICO out, yes they show who the team is, 5 people who are good at hyping and talking not a single coder.

I think there's no clean way with this kind of people.

They should be put in jail, not killed. You are also to blame, you lost your money because you are poorly analysed project.

The death penalty. In the decentralized network, you will not find these fraudsters. If you have 1. 000 000 $ you successfully arrange your life on the island. So do not waste your strength and nerves.

i am fully agree with you!these ico cheater should get death penalty.but  no one catching them or they are using fake document to use it on ico related sites.in my opinion most of scam ico leader is from russian.

To catch scammers we have difficulty. And I also lost my digital assets. But until now who took who. I find it very difficult for me. Killing is illegal. I think it's better to be careful when making transactions or storing digital assets.

Yes it's true, it's very difficult to find fraudsters in this virtual world, so it will take a very long time to find it, so it's true what you say, it's better for now to be more careful in safeguarding our assets.

Scammers should be punished - that's for sure. The main difficulty here is the fact that it's usually too late to punish some team members when they already scammed investors or bounty hunters and are not planning next iCO at all.

i hope so, these scam icos are really annoying to the crypto industry but there are some of them are running the ico until it listed on exchange site and then they disappear from the market. we must always be careful for that. i hope they will be arrested by police in the future

Huh? Death? Should someone die because of the paper? Today, even if the death penalty for killing someone is not death, it does not fit. Capitalism has already made us all dependent on money, but death is not.

Unfortunately, until now there are still no strict rules for ICO scam makers, in every country, there must be different rules and there are still many countries that have not officially accepted crypto.

so it is also difficult to be able to punish ICO criminals, maybe later if the government in each country takes part in crypto and make the rules for every ICO project that will come out must really have a goal for future technological developments and potential scam ICO projects not will get away.

I think being killed is an outrageous way, they are quite punished so that there is a deterrent effect and it will be a fear for other people not to scam or anything that smells of fraud but it will be difficult to make it happen because there are still laws that protect crypto and all activities related to crypto

ICO scammers are indeed very many and create anxiety for investors and bounty hunters. To apply penalties to scammers is also very difficult because we do not know who the person behind the ICO SCAM is, most importantly we as investors must be more careful in having a good and profitable ICO. Scammers not only work on the ICO SCAM, they also attack the telegram community and pretend to be part of the project and ask to transfer some ETH to their address. Stay alert and more careful

I think life imprisonment is enough for me that is one life imprisonment sentence for every 100k they scam to people, so if they scammed 500k that would be five life imprisonment and they will have no chance for parole, they will die in jail eventually.

thats a good idea, maybe it can be reduce the opportunity for fake ico go out and search for they prey.

I agree and I want to implement ICO scammer once they caught they will be death penalty but I suggest to the government before they death they need to go in prison and have torture and after that they can do death penalty process in that case for sure the scammer will not scam anymore people and a lot of ICO for sure will have a lot of legit project and becone successful but it is only a dream I think.

Abosolutely yes, they scam people that only want is to earn money to survive in daily life, and if there is a death penalty lawn for ICO scammers, many investors will comeback again and crypto ICO will get better.

Nope, it's investor who should be cautious before investing any money, and when you invest in ICO returns are never 'guarnteed' — you would see something similar in terms when you invest.

It wont happen, as we all know most of the people behind scam ICO's has fake identities.

You are a victim? you cant do anything about it but learn from your mistakes it is your own decision to send your money to them, if you want to invest next time do a deeper research on how to know if the ICO is legit or scam there's a lot of thread here that will help you.

Sorry for your loss.

You should set up a poll for this so we'll know who is in favor or not, I think we must first recover the funds that they've scammed and pay damages before imprisoning them for a hundred of years, something like this should happen so these scamming should be stopped.

Unfortunately that still sounds impossible if it is the government there will always be some people that said the sentences or punishment is too heavy like what the heck they are scamming people why the public still take a pity on them the cases is the same like drug dealers when they are about to be punished.

It depends on their jurisdiction,in some countries the oenalty for small crimes is hanging to death but in moat of the countries even if someone killed many people they only get jail periods but when we want to stop scammers the punishment should be death.

ICO fraud is indeed very detrimental to all the people involved including bounty hunters, but if what you suggest is the death penalty it will be very difficult to do because maybe something like that will be related to state and government regulations, we know that every ICO even popping up from various countries.

In general, now in civilized countries it is considered that the death penalty is not humane and violates the human right to life. If the right to life is given to us from above, the person does not have the right to take it away. Therefore, more than forty states have signed the 1950 Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and pledged not to use the death penalty. Especially for fraud to apply the death penalty, it will be something like a medieval cruelty. Scammers need to be punished and imprisoned. In my country for fraud can be jailed up to seven years. I think this will be enough for fraudsters.

i disagree. the ICOs should be rewarded because they were wise enough to figure out how many idiots exist in altcoin community who are willingly throwing their money away.

so if anything, the investors should be punished because they are the reason why ICOs even exist! if people started using their heads and stopped investing in ICOs there wouldn't have been any ICO to scam people and we would have only seen legitimate cryptocurrencies with no ICO nonsense.

It is upto the jurisdiction of the countries from where the ICO has been launched. Apart from the same, on my personal opinion it is good to make plans to restrict the ico's before launch setting certain bench marks. Because most projects that get termed to be scam happens once after launching, lacking on investment and upon other development..

Now it's silly to invest in ICO. Why such risks. Buy coins on exchanges 100 times cheaper.

This is too extreme, in my opinion, with the arrest and disclosure of their identities and then being held sufficient and returning the investors' money that they have deceived so that they get their rights, this is too extreme in my opinion

I think its a bit harsh for death sentence although sometimes I feel they deserve it, we spend time and money to support their project they run away with our hard work money, we become poor they spend the money recklessly, but there should be some punishment, jail or social service maybe more appropriate according to me, and they should pay penalty, and make them become poor

There's no law in any country which sentence death for financial fraudulent. I also don't ever support this. I think it's our fault that we don't do enough research before investing in ICO. It's nothing hard to find out a scam ICO. Lots of people are doing this and saving bitcointalk members from losing their money. You can also do it by yourself or follow people who bust scam ICO.

Many individuals have been Vitim of SCAM, Just like myself when it comes to ICO investment. I vowed never to invest, but put more focus whether the project fair or not. Right now I can boldly admit the ICO fraudulent must get punished for the inhuman act. Since scam projects in the ICOs growing rapidly Investors should be aware of it.

Death penalty is too cruel ,it will be better if all ICO scammers are hunt down and imprisoned for long time to learn there lessons ,moreover ICO investors should be the ones to be very very careful ,they more people are more careful the more scammers will fade away from crypto world

lol....so do you believe this option will work? I don't think so buddy. The space has so many people who would do anything for a any little penny and so the no campaign punishment may not work lol.
Our best option will be to stay careful and vigilant so that we don't end up in the wrong hands.

Yes it will not work because ICO has become addicting and so is bounty hunting because there is money to it and the demand is great, so do not expect crowdfunding to die, death penalty is to cruel let them have 20 years for every thousand they scam, that will be a very long years and they will rot in jail.

Punishment makes the people to be afraid of scam attempt next time but the people who are scamming through ICO have no real identity so how can we punish them?

I agree with you, but it will be quite difficult to do, because on the grounds that the law is not strong, there must be special rules for the teams who want to run the ICO, so that there is no more scam, the party fragrantly agrees the law is given sanctions for those who want to try to cheat.

Yes, we need protected platforms. Who will monitor the progress of the project and issue funds. What would minemizirovat loss of investors. This would help the industry to develop in a positive direction.

Lol, when you invest on an ICO, it's already a risk you take before invest your money into it.

I think death penalty is too much lmao, i mean scam is not a big crime if you compared with other crime that receive a death penalty.

Although it may be a little difficult to trace them to face the consequence of their evil deed but i think we should declare them ENEMY of our crypto industry and they should be made to pass through a very strict KYC and a reasonable deposit in a reputable crypto insurance industry to indemnify investors and bounty hunters in the face of failure.

So it is okay to steal someone's money on your opinion?

Crime is a crimes whatever it related to,need severe punishment to decrease those activities in future.

A friend will solve your problem such an inhuman act? Did you take the money to invest in the project? Fair. You yourself took the risk and condolence that you had nothing wrong. This happens every day. The most annoying thing is that not only in cryptocurrency.

I don't think that if we give one punishment to them, they will stop to scam people in the future. They will get a new way to scam people, and there will be many people who will get a scam. If you don't want to get scam, then you don't have to follow or join them, let them scam other people because that person is not careful to keep his money from the programs. We must take care of our money, and by research on their project, I think we can minimize from getting a scam.

The cryptocurrency space is a haven for scammers, this is because of the freedom the industry gives in establishing projects and raising funds from the public. Bringing scammers to book is quite difficult because of the various government boundaries and the fact that most people participating in fund raising are not using their real identity. I do hope that some extent of regulation is introduced in the industry and the process of fund raising should be more rigid to make it difficult for scammers to have their way.

I understand you might have lost a reasonable amount of money to these unscrupulous ICO fraudsters. However, I believe a jail time up to 10 - 20 years should be the penalty in my opinion. This is more humane than death penalty

Even if you lost money from these scammers and with so much hatred in your heart, death penalty is just too much.
I also lost some but never thought of this as punishment.
Long jail time is more than enough but that would be a long trial before anyone can have that verdict.
So at the moment, do your very best before investing your hard-earned money.
Crowdfunding projects will always be here because there are people that are always willing to take their risk and we can't stop them.

It is true that many scam projects have hurt investors a lot over the past one year's, but Death Penalty is not the only solution. There are many other ways to solve this problem.

It depends on the country where they are operating, some countries imposed the death penalty and some countries lifetime imprisonment, but so far there are thousands of scam ICO but we seldom see developers getting arrested but of course with the exception of Onecoin and Bitconnectcoin, but small ICO are not.

Yes, indeed. There are so many people who are joining the bounty and got scammed because of them. Just be careful.

I think it's hard to sentence this scammer of death because some scammer use fake identity to make their project good in front of their investor so even you know them the authority will be hard to find them. So always be careful and be vigilant.

First of all that law has many loopholes, an ICO team are not registered (there are no regulations to it as of now) people are free creating  ICO without assurance that the team behind it is totally legit. And of course it is depends on the country of origin wherein the scam ICO is. We need proper regulations to ICO not death penalty.

As for me capital punishment is too harsh for ICO Scammers but am in support for them to face the consequences of their action either by refunding all investors or by sending them to jail for like 10 years or more.

Initial coin offerings scam are really grievous and cost the victim alot and even there life.
But I am never in support of a death sentence no matter the crime. A good jail term would be perfect

In order to punish fraudsters, it is necessary that they go through the verification procedure and sign legal documents, but what kind of fraudster will do this.

There are way worse crimes than making a scam ico. So no i am not favor to death penalty for some thieves. That punishment doesn't fit the crime.

Well, you want a very severe punishment and I don’t see any sense from it. I would first of all condemn them in life, and then send them to work and transfer all my earnings to deceived people!

If the ISO scammers and took the money, then they are bad. If nobody needs a coin, then an unsuccessful investment. In fact, this is the same thing - your money has disappeared

There are too many scammers right now in cryptocurrency market. Specially the ICO projects has great ammount of scammers in their telegram channel. This is the new trend please be aware of it. When you have some problem with ICO or Exchange, when you go to telegram channel and talk about your problem, you would get lots of message and they introduce theirselves to you as a project admin and ask come BTC or ETH for fixing your problems. Anyway i got scammed twice and lost great ammount of Money but ofcourse i am against the death penalty. It could be punishemnt in prison but not death!

Lol. Life imprisonment with three years of  hard Labour would be great.
I think ICO scams exist because the community fail to do something about it.  Maybe no community even exist yet? What currently exist from my experience are multiple communities that do not consider working together to make things better and safer for the cryptocurrency world.

The community should be catching the thieves and handing them over to  police.

I think it is not easy for the death penalty because of the death penalty for very serious crimes and it is possible in some countries to prohibit capital punishment, yes I agree if there are appropriate penalties for scammers because scammers are very detrimental to investors and damage the image of ico.

Thats kind of harsh if i should say but still it should be given a consideration there are too may scammers every where an we encounter them everyday i think they could be handed over to the police its better that way thanks

I read too radical measure, I think for a start it is necessary to create conditions to stop such companies, without giving the chance to rob ordinary people, I think all crypto society shall collect all efforts to expose such projects right at the beginning.

Such punishment if being implemented well will give good lessons for those scammers to change up and get a real job after, I'm also not in favor of giving such huge punishment, I understand  where you are coming OP as I once experience same but there's no way for me to stuck with that so I move forward and look at it as a experienced around this industry.

We should strengthen punishment with those scammers for them to be afraid keep doing this illegal act, if found guilty better to have a mass media
news and gain wider audience so it can served as a warning for those who's still planning to do the same.

yes I think so too because many have made fake ico and deceived investors, I am now afraid to invest in ico, because there are a lot of scams or failed projects...

The death penalty, no, I don't think that this measure is reasonable, fraud, and everything that it is necessary the constitutional court - yes, no money will justify the death penalty.

Death penalty for ICO scammers, haha! :D You must be quite frustrated to come up with such an idea. :D

I have been saying for a long time that we need state regulation of ICO. The development team must be verified.The entire road map must be completed on time.If you don't do it in time - fine.Bounty payments must be in full.

That is too far fetched for me. I would rather see them rot in jail though. For me it's harsher to see those scammers becoming rich because of people's money and then suffer a lot in jail and regretting what they have done to all their victims.

You want death penalty because you lost couple of dollars? Wow, that is intense.

Even people who backs up death penalty would oppose this.

I don't think it is a good idea to sentence a scammer to death even though they rip people of their money, they are human beings themselves and don't deserve to die for money.

I think the best thing to do is to give them a long lasting sentence in jail so that before any company carry out scam activities, they will think about the consequences of what they might face in the jail, let's say 14 years in prison is very much okay for this kind of offense, what do you guys think?

100% that people would definitely support for this move but the question is on "HOW"?

Due to to anonymity property of cryptocurrencies, this is the perfect place to make scams and knowing that ICO nowadays arent regulated unless if the team behind is
showing of themselves where you can see some transparency and can possibly be sued out when it do have a problem but majority do have anonymous devs and team
and this is actually the main problem.

You can't be serious here! :D The idea alone is outrageous. If you lost your pants I can understand your frustration, but killing these people with death penalty... If you participate in unregulated markets you should expect scammers to be around and adjust your decisions accordingly. If you go all in in such a market that's your own risk.

This is a step towards more transparency. And I think that there are already made and set penalties is case of theft or other allegations related to financial scams so there is no need to impose death penalty.

In such cases, the man convicted is sentenced to fine and some imprisonment is jail and is set free. I believe that the improvement in technology and understanding it will help reduce the scams.

I dont think so, this would not be further applied since it is over the counter. Although scammers are not good in our society but death penalty is not the correct punishment. Maybe the government will turnover to it and penalize scammers.

It hard to find those scammer because they are smart they use in bad way. But once they caught by the authority death penalty is good for them so that's other scammer will never again scam people because they did not want to die I hope it will happen and implemented to the law.

I have not mentioned a lot of ICOs that turned to be scammed during the last several months. The only big one was the Bittrex IEO, but it was cancelled before somebody has collected funds. So I think things are getting better.

Scammers are a big problem for all of us. But this is not a reason to wish them death. When you invest in the project next time, study more information on it.

I know there are studies on whether or not the existence of a death penalty reduces crime in general and I think that was not the case. So we won't have less scammers with a death penalty. Apart from that I still think this suggestion is an exaggeration.

Well, the death penalty for fraud is very tough , I think for 10 years, you can clap , but of course the crooks have to answer for their actions ! since many people lose their money!

There's always mixed emotions coming from people who experienced being scammed, especially those who really invested a huge amount of money, but being more practical, before we invest we should learned how to investigate and assess projects that being offered, there's a lots of them and its really a tough call for every investors, scammers are always around and punish them to prisons might be enough to bring justice to those people being scammed.

Well I think it is not that easy to have this kind of penalty to the scammers. And to be honest, even how I hate scammers I am not agree for a death penalty. More likely, an imprisonment is enough for those people. Because for me, even how bad what they do is, they are still people that wanted to keep living. And we are all people. No one  have the right to remove the life given to us. More than that, that person may have a reason why he do such thing. And in addition, those scaers can also changetheir fate, or change their life and take other path other than scamming, and death penalty is not the answer for this.

I wan't also thia will be happen. Because if you don't have any bad intention to scam you don't have worry about on this opinion. To save cryptocurrency and earn more intvestors and trust on other users.

I think that death penalty is excessive but ICO scammers have to be stopped by institutions by creating fixed rules to do ICO otherwise this market is destined to perish soon because investors lost their faith..

If he comes from a communist country it's a death penalty right away or from the Arab regions they will face the death penalty, it still depends on the region where they belong, here in our country there is no death penalty, but you can be sentenced multiple life sentence and you will die behind bars.

Finding real scammers will be difficult because the market is all anonymous and you cannot be sure who is behind everything. I think if we take better measures, everything is different and a lot of information of many people has been publicly made by scammers that makes ICO investors no longer feel safe in this market. If there is a policy to protect KYC users and investors, then perhaps the ICO is not as pathetic as it is now as the trend of IEO investment is growing and investors feel safer when investing.

of course I myself will always support the first time if the death penalty for ICOs is scam, because there are already many from 2018 then people lose their money because many ICOs are scam and cheat too

it's difficult because the law of each country has its rules that are not what you want. I agree if people have to be punished if they do a scam, especially on the ico project.
gerulasi in every country may be able to prevent the project that leads to a scam. maybe by having a certificate from the country or something like that. however this is very difficult because not all countries legalize crypto

Prison them for long years are enough for ICO scammers, it's hard to track the scammers so we should careful what we investing.

You need to keep the proportionality principle - if someone steals $10,000 from investors he should get another punishment than someone stealing millions. You can't generalize this.

from a legal standpoint Death, might not happen because from the outset investment in ICO has a big risk so better from now investing in ICO you really have to be very careful

inhuman in my opinion, it's better to be jailed as usual, because we have to think of his/her family too, so his/her family can visit, if the family is missing him/her.

Um, no?
Isn't that a bit extreme?
But you are just frustrated and venting right?

Like on a telegram channel of a scam project people start flaming and call out for the devs to be locked up or killed.
It's all just venting anger right?

Because if stuff like that would become real, it would have huge serious consequences for societies at large.

There is some good news though, in developed countries, there are typically pretty strict laws governing this.
Even though we complain about the SEC, they actually do their job.
Although the US criminal system takes forever, the chances are for getting your money back if they are caught by SEC is very high.
Of course, you would have to be a US citizen and the ICO registered in America...

But you should check with your own countries regulations to see what can be done.

     It is important that these scammers who create SCAM projects just to trick investors and take their money, get caught and punished in any way. It's a kind of fraud, and if Bitcoin and other crypto motifs are legal in all the countries of the world, they probably will even make prison. There will be no death penalty for this. It would be silly to have the death penalty for fraud in the crypto market. The beginning of this year seems to have brought many good ICO projects, so we can only be glad for it. Let's be optimistic that these SCAMs will disappear, because people are now searching the market well before investing.

I don't think that this one can be possible because ICO is not must you invest in, is just matter of choice. The reason why this can not work is that there is no any legal document involved.

I agree that Scammers are in the law as hard as possible so that they can make a deterrent effect on others. but can this be realized ?? because until now no scammer has been dealt with.

Scammers should be dealt with because they are currently doing the damage to cryptocurrency community!! Due to the issues of scanmer, ICO and crypto generally almost collapsed some months ago, with this I we suggest scammer be dealt with, probably been jailed but been sentenced to death we be to harsh on them.

The banking system is also still alive and it is full of scammers. I am not really concerned that scammers can bring down the crypto scene.

- Indeed, the death penalty is really an excessive penalty for fraud, because what we lose is only part of our assets, and we can still continue to create assets but if we agree with the death penalty, what can be lost to another person may be a family member, and losing a family member is not something that can be offset, considering carefully, this punishment only creates infinite loss for others and creates a ghost of sin in us. Instead of creating such a problem, we only need normal penalties for scammers, jailed or refunding us is fine but maybe this will be very difficult for a system like ICO, this system is not under government control

The person who scams people on cryptocurrency is not a subject for death penalty. The law can prolong the term on prison depending on the amount of money he got but not death penalty. We all have frustrations and anger to those people who do bad things to us but for me, its better to get prisoned and prolong their agony rather than end it fast in death penalty.

I know that some victims experienced huge losses in scams that lead their lives in jeopardy but I think that it should only be allowed depends on how much the scammer took from its investors. I mean, billions of dollar is sure enough to put them in an electric chair or to hang them in a rope. But for millions of dollars, life imprisonment will do justice.

the actions of scammers are indeed unforgivable, they have harmed other bounty hunters, but the death penalty is not an option, it is too barbaric. I do not agree if the death penalty applies to scammers. it's inhumane.

For example, no matter how dead a person is if he is a scammer of people because he thinks he can do it for the scammers to be confined to the front because that is what he or she needs and can do with their excessive ico scams and bounty can not really be avoided but there are investors and bounty hunters who are still battling so the only thing that can be done is to be careful or beware of your winnings so as not to lose your funds or to work with them many altcoins scam so be careful with selecting your spare altcoins because not all of them are legit research and to explore to avoid scammers.

Well for me, my answer to this is absolutely yes, because I am one of the victim of ICO scammers. Ive worked for the bounty for a year and after that, it turns out that the bounty i've joined was a scam, it was being copyright with the owner. My world turns to a very very sad, all my efforts are lost, the sleepless night i have encounter was not worth it. So for this, I am in favor of death penalty to those scammers.

For now, I think the choice we have is to either invest or stay clear of any form of investment involving ICO.
If only you feel you are able and can invest in carefully chosen projects, having it at the back of your mind that you should invest just what you can afford to lose.

I know how bad it feels getting scammed but killing them because of money is not wise and is inhumane. No money could afford a life of a person. A life sentence is what we can do most even if they deserve a more cruel punishment. Don't become a monster to them because of money.

Haven been victim of scam, i will recommend death penalty to ICOs, IEOs and STOs scammers because they have destroyed many homes and individuals, they deprived victims of freedom of expression after they might have carry out their dubious act of scam. Life sentence aren't not enough for them to feel the same as the victims.

In as much this is a sad penalty..I still think its a heavy penalty to declare death penalty for them. Sentences to life or 25 years in prison will be a good one. However   more regulatory process should be encouraged to allow improved security and save investors money.

Death penalty might just be an inhumane punishment. A long jail term will be enough to deter other criminals. But one thing is to enact a law and another is to enforce it. So we would need a strong body to diligently carry out the law

I think your desires will remain desires. It is unlikely that fraudsters will ever be declared the death penalty. Although, if several scammers were executed at the stadium, others would be afraid to do their own dirty deeds.

can it be possible if the crypto currency has not been legalized by the government because there is absolutely no binding legal force and that is the weakness that is obtained in investing with crypto currencies

Not all laws in every country are free of loopholes. This death penalty could be used to frame an innocent person for insinuating a crime they didn't do, so death penalty is a no-go. It is however more plausible to increase the charges like a few years added to the sentence to make an example of them.

This is also a very important issue. If a hacker steals your personal details and commits a crime in your name, do you think the death penalty is still appropriate in the world of the internet? It is very common that stolen identities are used for crime on the internet.

Of course, scammers spoil life for people. If they had a technical impact on life, that is, provoked the death of people, then the death penalty would be appropriate. But in this case it is too exaggerated punishment.
I would deprive them and their immediate kin of all property.

That is right but to avoid that they can cause other people to die by stealing their identities, you should never apply a death penalty to ICO scammers.

You can Google the biggest financial frauds in the history of the US that left the government even shocked but the people committing these frauds were not hanged but rather fined and jailed. The attacker involved in the Christ Church New Zealand was not hanged by the court. So I think that death penalty is a very big thing and it should not be a part of the cryptocurrency forum here. We have well structured and wisely formulated laws to deal with such things.

in my opinion this is too excessive when giving a death sentence. but indeed there must be a penalty for ico scams that can deter them. but this is not easy to do. one of the efforts to reduce ico scam, it seems that it must be from all of us, namely being smarter and more careful in choosing ico, also having to do analysis or research first.

ICO scammers are already tired of everyone. Some have come to terms with this phenomenon, and some are very critical of it. I think that all same punishment in the form of the fine should be necessarily for team Scam projects, and fully confiscation cash.

the question is, who are they?
if I know clearly the address and place of residence of the fraudster, I will come and beat him, but the fraudsters mostly keep their identities secret, and stupidly, we trust then invest our money.  :D

Sorry, I am not with the death penalties but they should be caught by the Police and stay in Jail forever! If I am not wrong then I think after the Centra scam, CEO and other team members caught by the Police and they got well punished! Scammers and hackers are the curses for the crypto community! That's why I support KYC for the project owners, not investors or hunters!

I believe that during the last year, there were not so many scam projects detected on the market and I hope there would be even less in the future. But you can avoid taking part in such projects by investing your time first, to know more about the project, team members etc. and everything seems legit, then to invest your money.

Scammers for a death penalty? That is a very huge matter to settle down. For now, I don't think that it is possible to implement this matter. What i wanted to say is that, scammers uses false identities and it is so hard to tract down them as they are very ready in doing their bad doings. But what we can do is always be alert to things that may bring us to be one of the victims of scamming. Moreover, it is our responsibility to be aware to the project we are engaging. In addition, it is our choice to take part in those scam projects. But I do hope people are not bring such project, which bring their fellow crypto users into despair of losing their investments. Well all know and aware that scammers nowadays are all everywhere where we can say that is becomes a part of the community which is avoidable but so hard to fight with. Implementing the dealth penalties will not resolve easily this kind of matter.

death penalty for scam ico's is too harsh, they just steal money from their investors, they only need to be in prison.

I think the law will not reach them because the decentralized market is difficult to catch criminals. But I think they will have to pay for what they have done to us.
soon the scammers will be punished by God.

Wait a minute its to extreme if you said scammer should get death penalty. I know they do fraud to many people but im not okay if they should be killed. There is real one projects out there. Maybe you should be more carefull to choose a project.

There should be no place for scammers and fraudsters in the cryptocurrency world.
Death penalty will not giving the investor's money back, but at least it will makes other scammers think 100x before scamming peoples.
we must take very serious research before investing on some project to avoid this kind of scam.

Death penalty is not the answer because it cannot take back the money of investors so for me they have still place in cryptocurrencies which is the jail they need to pay what they did either scam or hack.

It is better to simply control the output of projects in cryptocurrency, but the death penalty goes beyond that. Scam projects are just a form of fraud

They should get some strict penalty. But in the unregulated crypto market, it's very difficult to trace the ICO owners particularly the scam ICOs. This is main reason why we still have scammed ICOs.
Cryptocurrency start-up Confido disappears with $375,000 from an ICO, and nobody can find the founders (https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/21/confido-ico-exit-scam-founders-run-away-with-375k.html)

Death penalty is very harsh and i would prefer imprisonment so they would suffer for a long time. But in this industry, it's hard to know or pinpoint who the scammers are coz most of them are using fake identity and mostly are anonymous. Just be careful on investing in ICO's. Do your research first.

I agree that this scammers definitely need to be brought to book but a death penalty is definitely extreme.Afterall the death penalty will not refund lost funds and this is the reason why I believe crypto- space require more regulations pertaining ICOs.

I definitely think that death penalty upon scammers is not necessary, maybe being penalized and pay for their damages would be enough, not by death penalty, scammers for me are considered are robbers or thieves, so maybe the law may require them to pay what they get and punish by the law that they would be in jail and that's enough i think.

Whatever we choose as a preventive measure at the moment, it is almost impossible to apply it to a fraudster, and therefore the market is replete with fraudulent projects. The true face of a fraudster is simply not available. Therefore, it is easier to exclude cooperation with projects with unknown organizers with a dubious reputation.

Not just scammers but also the hackers who’s victimizing more and more people here in crypto world,fo me they should be hanged one after another to be as warning to those looking to be another criminal he.we are humans here and these people are not so they are not a lost from humanities so lets push this penalty to become reality

why should they be sentenced to death?  What happened to your reasoning? Even a drug lord has not sentenced to death not to talk Ok a mere scammer. Come on wake up from such rubbish

i dont think death is a good way to deal with scammers, no matter what we do to scammers, we can not take the money back, so instead of punish them, we should find another way to stop scammers and making the ICOs become more safer and better.

Finding them in the internet until they busted it just only wasted our money, so it would be better if you not invest to most of the icos.

horror, what a bloodthirsty you are, the death penalty is in my opinion a very severe punishment ... I agree that it is necessary to punish so that others are discouraged, but not the death penalty...can chop off a hand or fingers? ::) ;D

How do we give scammers the death penalty? We do not know who they are and to understand they also experience difficulties, even we cannot catch them. What we have to do is be more careful in determining the ICO project. You must study and do research and do not rush to make a decision.

Yes, I think they are very worthy of death. I feel losing money is caused by scammers. But we are very difficult to arrest them and I think they also cannot be punished. Maybe if strict regulations are made they can reduce it.

No i am not favoring it. Ico scammers mean stolen money so they are basically thieves. If you give the death penalty to thieves what will you do for bigger crimes?

No one will do that because there are thieves sitting in the government. Yes, even if they impose the death penalty, the Internet is boundless space. Hire stupid actors who will play the role. And then they will collect money and hide in the sunset. And we both continued to suffer and we will.

I would welcome any form of penalty or punishment for ICO scammers because I have actually lost a lot through ICO participation due to scams. As such I have no pity for offenders.

I found this funny about how to arrest the culprit of the scams. If this is made possible then that would make me happy and hopefully this scammers would stop doing this crime.

haha, I agree with you but who will catch them. and there is no regulation and strong legal entity to arrest them.
hope that one day the country will discuss this matter so that no more ico scam

I am completely agree with this  ;D so that no one will create a scam projects anymore, However, this process should undergo a proper trial court procedure to give the accused a chance to defend himself. To determine if she/he is being framed or a real scammer. I wish all scammers will live behind bars in prison.

The problem of fraudulent schemes in the field of cryptocurrencies is one of the main that needs to be addressed.
However, it is very funny to read such a radical message from a man with the pompous nickname MasterICO ;D

In my own opinion about this topic, it is not necessary to give death sentence against those scammers. They are many projects with fake identities in their team, so why we will punished them with death penalty if we don't really know who are those people behind those scam project/s. It is not good for us to take blame on other people which is not really guilty, if we may find out who are the real scammers then it is better to imprisoned them.

There must be penalties that make them no longer do this in the sense, deterrent so that many people are no longer trapped in the wrong investment because today many have lost money

Unfortunately, SCAM projects hurt a lot. But isn't the death penalty a little too heavy? Even the world's largest corruption is unpunished ...

This is too much, of course.
In many countries such as the United States and China, they will be imprisoned for a long time. Therefore, many are not associated with these countries when during ICO.

Not a death sentence, because the punishment for investigating the case is still difficult now because many projects that fail to make refunds or disappear without reason,

Killing them is not the best judgment for people who live in democratic countries, but of course they should be arrested because if not, more and more scammers will appear because they will see a opportunity how to get easy money without being arrested.

Mere scammers, don’t tell me the wickedness of this world has thought you lessons so hard that you have become heartless, is it because you don’t see these investors cry ? Maybe then, you will realized the extent of damage they do cause to some of these investors that has already fallen victim of scam.

Stealing is stealing and if caught, they should be put to death, it is just so unfortunate that they system is a decentralized one that creates anonymity, so it will be difficult to go after them, even if one wants to use whitepaper in going after them, one will end up killing innocent people because the faces we see on whitepapers are not the real face of these scammers.

Certainly no because it's too much. I think death penalty should only be deserved by murderers and rapist. In my opnion, we should let them payback for the amount they scammed and if they can't return it back then they should be imprisoned for years depending on the amount they've scammed.

No, at first in the market being decentralized and anonymous, fraud are impossible to be traced. Another, providing a death penalty for ICO Scammer needs to adhere to a certain jurisdiction of a county. In that case, not all will going to be fair if some case, frauds get caught in action even with proof and evidence.

Of course not! we live in a modern society, and not in a primitive tribe, so let's solve everything with humane methods!

I think sentenced for certain years imprisonment and charging them some  fine is enough. I wonder why people think death is a good idea? Imprisonment is still a good way to give them a lesson and feel about what they did.

Death penalty is to harsh for ICO scammers and I can only recommend death penalty for kidnappers, murderers and terrorist. I think penalty for financial scam shouldn't be too harsh and spending like 10 years in jail should be enough for ICO scammers

Currently ICO is gradually resurrected. The market is going well. If you feel that ICO has a lot of scams, find a way to identify them through the knowledge you have learned

You can't blame another for while you yourself cheating and ultimately the Govt. As, you know the ICOs are not regulated by any statutory body and the Govt. and the investor is totally responsible of his investment. As, it is not regulated so, it is very easy for the scammers to cheat in the different way of cheating method by fishing and technically. And, the scammers are bigger in this sectors because there is no law regarding this sectors. That's not means that I am supporting these scammers but I also one of the victim of this scammers but whom to complain? Just, now I am taking precaution while choose any ICO for the investment by thoroughly evaluating their website and the project.

I think this is over rated , I mean we all hate scammers but they are also human too,
We should give them a chance to change .
But I guess it wouldn't be a problem because they wouldn't be caught in real life since they are just using fake information.

I think that will be too hard a sentence, but if someone on purpose scams other people for money, they need to pay back the people they scam and then get a prison sentence.

But on the other hand, some investors just send their eth to all project with a nice roadmap, without knowing if its just a scam, those investors also need to be thinking before they just send money.
I haven't sent any money to any ICO for more than a year now, do to all those scams.

They are bad indeed but I think death penalty is too much as punishment for them since they only steal money compared to other heinous crime who deserves such punishment.

The main problem is we cant track those people behind of the scam ICOs due to lack of regulation. Its very easy for them to get away with the money they accumulate with their victim.

I think it is very difficult to trace someone who cheats in the Crypto world, so to punish him is very difficult, but if there are rules about ICO rules, I strongly agree that ICO fraudsters should be punished by death penalty.

I am in favor of this penalty. But you need to consider these things:

• Are those people that included on their "team" identities are true?
• If so, it's a long run to have these scammers to be caught since they are not living in your country(in some cases).

What if those scammers will use other personal info? It's bad for them to use that, it will just lead everything into chaos.

The death penalty will be useless if investor funds cannot be returned because the most important thing is this, and in my opinion it is indeed a mandatory thing that scammers must do to fulfill their obligations

No need to seek and punish anyone. There is a law of karma. Such people will necessarily be punished by fate. And all their descendants will bear the stamp of failure. Fate will punish them all.

The era of ICOs is over, however scammers will always find  different ways how to scam investors. We
need regulations for  ICOs to be under control how they are spending the funds.  We have nothing from that if they
get punished, it is better to prevent their scam actions. They have to be punished according to the low.

We, all the same, live in a civilized world. Fraud with the ICO can be equated to economic crimes, and in the civilized world the death penalty is not provided for this.

I strongly agree that the death penalty is given to ICO scammers ... because there are so many people who are at a disadvantage after investors buy the ICO Token with the amount of money they have to succeed the ICO ... then it is very appropriate to be given the death penalty to the ICO scammers.

The only way to stop scammers is to put our money where our mouth is,invest in project you are sure alone,investors also should not be greedy.

I'm not in favor of death penalty for ICO scammers but I approve of severe penalties such as long term imprisonment and huge fines to be imposed upon those who commit such acts. One more thing is that before we can bring them to justice, there should be a need to strengthen international laws and there is a need for cooperation among law enforcement agencies worldwide to hunt down these perpetrators because they are causing more harm than good in the advancement of cryptocurrencies. Imho.

But unfortunately these scammers are too smart to hide their identity. They used the ICO in such a way as to deceive many investors, but now they can't do anything, because the IEO era will emerge and scammers will be destroyed

I strongly support and agree with you, the death penalty for ICO scams and fraud. There are some cases that I read, where an investor had to pawn his house just to buy ICO coins and it turned out that the coin project was a scam.

the death penalty must have scared the fraudsters who used the ICO program to commit their crimes.  >:(

As for now I don't think such a thing will be possible because the adoption of crypto currency by government is yet to take place so why would the government be able to go make such law against that activities of Bitcoin and other altcoins.

There should be no death penalty ever and especially if you are mislead by someone. It's not only that person who is guilty for scamming you but some of this guilt lies with you.

You did not do enough research or you were too hyped. You were thinking about profits instead of being careful. You believed that person like a child but you aren't a child anymore!

The death penalty in many countries are forbidden, however, jail is not.
Many scammers know what they are doing and probably it is not their first attempt!

Those scammers are just ruining the crypto industry and faith from crypto enthusiasts and hopefully, they will be caught one day, but it is not likely that you will recover your funds or time invested.

Lol . im sorry but i find the title funny  . death penalty , seriuosly ? Scamming is not a brutal crime . you can just fine them equivalent to how much they scam . if they cant pay then let them live inside the jail  . afaik , death penalty sentence is only used for more brutal crimes like killing or murdering  but some countries are not agreeing with it  .  meanwhile ,  ico scamming wont stop even if there are penalties or laws about them  . scammers will always find a way to scam people in order to get easy profit .

In the near future scammers will find it getting more difficult to deceived the crypto community because most of us now are getting more mature and will find ways to educate people and identify signs of a possible scam plot but I know this wont stop them. So I guess there is a need to strengthen penalties or we should find ways to prosecute those that are involved so that practice will discouraged in the future.

For the struggle with scammers, it would be possible to create a special fund to which the participants of the tokensales could transfer a percentage of the invested funds. With the funds raised, participants can hire private analytical structures that could carry out due diligence of ICO projects. In addition, on the basis of the same fund could create their own detective agency to combat ICO scams, which would find fraudsters and legalize their illegal activities. And those who wish to return the stolen money could, on the basis of the evidence collected by the detectives, formally apply to the judicial authorities for compensation.

Death penalty for scammers, I feel it kind of too extreme, death penalty  are used for extreme cases like murder cases. A serious punishment should be attached to scamming, such that it scares people off from scamming. Punishment should be equivalent to the crime committed. Scammers have really destroyed a lot of people by scamming them of their money. They shouldn't go unpunished.

I do not know if this was just a joke. But no, the scammers must be fought by the community itself, we are part of a decentralized technology. Always analyze deeply before investing, it is your money that is at risk. We have to be responsible for our own actions. Leave the government out of it.

No matter how much we try to evade them, scammers will keep coming with different strategies and methods to make prey of investors.
We operate a decentralized system, so bringing them to book might not be outrightly possible. Therefore we just need to forestall and reveal all their vices as they unfold. This might get them frustrated.

if you have legal evidence, I think why not?
but this is very difficult, which is to prove that a project is really a scam. sometimes at the beginning it was indicated a scam, finally legit. and sometimes at first it looks legit and has good potential, finally scam.

Death isn't everything sometimes because what these guys actually did to people brings more pain than killing them, slow death with so much pain can be so much better. But who are you to report them to, only if your country allows investing in crypto and has rules from the top.
Only an individual can do that but he or she has also committed murder, so why not neglect them.

of course I support it because they have committed a crime that has suffered a lot of casualties and suffered a great loss of investment in the ICO, but unfortunately until now there are still no regulations and penalties for ICO scam makers, we must be more careful just in choosing an ICO to invest in it so that you don't get a scam and hope that in the future there are clear rules for new ICO to emerge and scammers.

Its hard to find these scammers, beside that there is no regulation about ICOs in many country. I am support death penalty but i dont think it will happen as long there is no regulation on cryptomarket and regulation on ICO crowdfunding

ico scam is part or crime and law should give them punishment
but if said death penalty i am not agree with that , just send them to the jail for like 3 or 5 years that enough

the problem many ico scammer didn't ended on prison or get punishment by laws. most of investor didn't do anything to their scammer. they should report it. If this scammer didn't get reported they just gonna do another scam to new investor

The death penalty is not popular anymore, it only applies to certain countries, life imprisonment or multiple life imprisonment with no chance of parole is good enough punishment, they will also confiscate all the properties to pay all the victims.

It seems to me that the crypto community has succeeded very much in the fight against fraudulent ICO projects, investors simply stopped trusting and investing money in ICO.

when everything has improved where trust grew back from investors to the ico project, I think everything will go back smoothly as before now there are so many ico but very few actually run their projects well. that made investors also very disappointed.

I think death penalty is very much.Because i Don't feel death penalty is the solution. Yes, the scammer should be punished but not death IMO.And from the digital media we easily can find out which project is scam So, the chances of getting scammed is getting lower day by day.Right now, we need some genuine and successful ICO which will change the situatio  of the market.            

I am aware that the victims of this ico scams can fall into depression which could make them commit suicide.
That is me putting what victims of ico scams go through mildly.
But the crowd does not warrant dealth penalty.
I think they should be made to refund back when caught and then do terms.

Whatever it is, I think scammers really make a lot of people angry. What they do is the actions of criminals and they take advantage of our weaknesses. I agree if they are given a sentence and I hope security must be improved.

Yes i agree on that maybe death penalty is not a good penalty for ico scammer. But maybe whole life imprisonment is good for them. Because they are not really doing fair in the community of crypto, scammer can also make the crypto down because it can really decrease the trust of the people who used crypto that is why there are always a bad effect in crypto market.

Anyone who is not part of the ICO scammers should be in favour of this especially if you have been a victim of such scam. They don't deserve to exist among the crypto community.

Death penalty is too cruel for these scammers ,if they face death there is nothing to learn from but the best way is to make them face the law and get jailed so that they can actually regret what the did but actually we don't need this anymore in crypto space because the solution is here and that's IEO

- Yes, the death penalty is a severe punishment for scammers, their mistake is not big enough to receive that penalty, life imprisonment is also not an appropriate punishment, what I think of is a penalty of several months or several years in prison, depending on the loss and damage they have caused and ask the scammers to repay all the money to the victim. But maybe we will be hard to see these penalties because government expressions are still neutral, even hate crypto and bitcoin, they do not want to participate in this market when it is full of problems they cannot solve

I am in favor of such punishment. We always have a tendency to downplay financial crimes. I will give you an example. If someone murders a human being in a fit of rage, then a lot of us will argue that he should be given death penalty. But if I argue that the Mt Gox hackers should be given the death penalty, then I think the vast majority will remain opposed to that. It is despite the fact that the Mt Gox robbery had caused multiple suicides (a lot of people committed suicide after their life-savings were lost) and many hundreds were turned destitute.

Investor refunds are the most important thing to note because we know that at the moment many investors are complaining about their funds that cannot be investigated and not even returned

Death penalty is too cruel to say the least. I am of the opinion that jail term should be enacted and enforced on individuals who think cryptocurrency offers the best opportunity to dupe unsuspecting individuals because its decentralized and obscure.

Our weakness as participants or investors in an ico is that there is no initial agreement based on law that makes the team freely conduct scams and not afraid of a sentence. therefore, before ico starts, there must be an agreement in advance concerning the law so that there is no scammer.

No, but if you're challenged enough to invest in an ico in 2019, you probably should consider not siring children.

The same ico scammers keep doing the same thing over and over and its the same gullible suckers who keep falling for it.  Certainly most of the blame lies with the ico scammers but part of it belongs to those investors who were too greedy and stupid to research what they were investing in in the first place.

I would say most victims of icos treat investing like gambling, and they are the same ones frequenting the investor based games section of the forum and think its actually a game.  You do either of those things, you shouldn't complain when the thief runs away with your money.

not a few are currently having problems because their funds cannot be returned. I agree with you that punishment is in accordance with justice which is a pretty good thing than we punish those who do not provide solutions. they must be able to be responsible for the actions and investors' funds that they have taken

Thats is fun to hear, and iif possible to capture those scammers i 100% agree for death penalty. Market will be cleanse and investor fears will gone. As result, crypto currency will back on green and everything will gain profit but i cant imagine what will be the future reason to have bear market. We should take bull for long life, we need to balance the thread.

It was to difficult to doing that a death penalty for the ICO scammer.
Well if that happen maybe many people will die because as of now to many ICO's are scam and it's not worth to invest on it or to participate the bounty they have.

I read your answers and am amazed. You had a test, you were given a choice to participate or not to participate. You made your own decision. Why you shift the responsibility from yourself. There are always two sides. You need to think about yourself. Say, thank God, you better take the money. After all, if this situation did not happen, you could get a more serious lesson in life.

That would not much solve the problem. There is an enormous count of frauds in the world of cryptos, and these aren't just simple, they might be tech experts are good in security especially to secure their IP addresses and be safe upon their businesses. What is better is to stop supporting whenever we find a worthless project.

Of course, no regulation and tightening of laws will solve this problem, it is solved by the market itself, which pays for the risk, i.e. those who survive, receive a good profit, which compensates for participation in fraudulent and

No this is not different to fiat scammers or con artists. Punishment yes, but not the death penalty. Death penalty should be strictly used for really serious offenses, such as murder and terrorism (albeit the chinese would probably do it, as they do in theory to their corrupt officials).

Also what would you do when the (de-facto) government of a nation is the one responsible for the ICO Scam? Do you have any idea how much was collected and "lost" by the Petro ICO scam? Can you even take them to the Hague tribunal for this?

I also experienced many ico SCAM projects. I hope that they meet proper punishment for their reality and their future and their whole family. However, if you want to execute them, it is very difficult. Scammers always know the best way to hide. But for the time being, ICO projects are attracting more investors because they have real teams and communities, so when you are an investor, verify the project information and invest one. Wiser way. I think that will help you survive in this market.

Death penalty for scammers is way too heavy for their sin.
This past few months ICO market is down and we all know that scammers is no good in our industry, but the decisions is ours, if we are going to take the bait they made. It is always take for your own risk. We all know that this is a very risky society so, Death penalty for me is a big no no.

I would have agreed to it, but thee are times that some developers are not scammers in the real sense of and if accused of it and then executed, that might be justice passed in the wrong direction.
If adequate investigation can be done and they are found guilty, all that they have stolen should be taken back from them and they should be made to pay in double or triple folds.

Its better that they spend the rest of their life in jail and live remaining of their miserable life in solitary. But since most scammers used their stoled money to plea for their case most of the time they get the lesser sentence for their committed crime.

Let the scammers run their ICO and We as a community will work hands in hands in exposing their scam.

Yes, why not? The problem is that it can be so hard to track these people as they are always prepared to get away and they know what they are doing so that when it is time to fly away tracing them can be hard and costly...not to mention that many of them can be based in foreign countries where anybody can be bribed for their own safety. The best thing to do is to be defensive and to be careful when we open our purse so we can minimize our exposure to scam. Being a victim of scam can be one of the worst feeling there is...and I know because I am one of them.

This is too deep for a punishment but indeed there must be a deterrent effect on scammers because they have harmed many investors. at this time it is possible that punishment by making them poor or social punishment will make them deterred so that everyone does not do it again.

Not only are you deceived in the ICO project, I am also included, and indeed there must be regulations governing ICO projects so that the ICO project is no longer circulating in the community. because Scam ICO has taken a lot of casualties, both investors, bounty hunters or others.

I am a very kind person and I don't want such severe punishment for Ico scammers,I am sure that the Ico rush is already over and this market is getting stabilized and people are already not investing their money in pure scam projects.

THe problem with these scammers is on regulation. We know that ICOs not regulated in many country and ICOs investor from all around the world. Its hard to sue these scammers because there is not law can sue them except they are living in USA.

With the many victims of fraud from the ICO scam. Of course investing in the ICO must always be careful. I do not want to discuss what punishment the perpetrator must accept. But we must be aware, why can we get caught up in the ICO scam. It can only be regret and future learning not to experience the same thing. There is nothing we can do to punish the ICO scam.

We are agreed that we need the law that can accused to ico scammers but in this crypto world that are hard to make it happen. Even just want to captured the scammer because we still don't have a goverment or law that provided that such thing after all

No, not in favour. Certainly every effort should be made to apprehend scammers and make them face the law, but death penalty is far too harsh - as you say it's frustration and anger that lead to this view.

I despise the fact that some persons have taken as a profession to rip others of their hard earned money. Its rather unfortunate that these Scammer are humans with feelings and emotions and have decided to ignore their conscience for financial gain. Even as much as I don't support scammers and scamming as a line of occupation, I still believe that death penalty is too severe.

I am completely in favor of it. Know what? In third world nations such as Nepal and Cambodia, a contribution of as little as $1,000 can save the lives of little children who die of treatable diseases such as Malaria and Measles. And here we have ICO scammers, who rob tens of millions of USD from the unsuspecting investors. With that sort of money, a lot of lives can be saved. So what they are essentially doing is causing the death of poor people. They deserve the death penalty.

For sure but how are we going to track this people down, that is one demerit of decentralization. Try to get these bad nut and you realize you've spent more than your investment. The only way to get these people is when some reputable companies get stack in the scam with them they can afford all the marshals to get them down. ICO scammers must be severely punished.

Such penalties are too heavy and everyone should value their lives. If there is an appropriate punishment for scammers, it will probably be more deterrent, so that they can recover or collect the returned property for the investors' losses.

This morning someone sent a message that zerocoin protocol was bridged and recently I saw articles of some project upgrading their platform. So how do you really determine a scammer when most times project initiators have good intention but things could go wrong. I think there should be an arbitration where cases can be presented and analysed. Jail sentences can be maximum not death sentence please.

- But the money here is not the amount of money to support the children and the poor in the third world, scammers are stealing investors' money, please remind investors who want to make money with ICO, loss and damage here belong to the investors. Although this amount is probably huge but I believe this amount is the amount that investors can lose, they are acceptable, and with such not so strong influences, I feel that death is a very high penalty, warnings, compensation and deterrence are necessary but there should be no death penalty here

There are still a lot of new successful projects being launched, turning your back on everything new is foolish and will cause to miss out on some huge gains.  If anything this means less competition for investors so this is actually a good thing if you have a positive outlook.

Death penalty for ICO scammers is too harsh. The punishment can be some years in imprisonment or a different punishment. Punishing scammers will scare other people from scamming others too.

all over the world today there is a struggle against the death penalty, and even such criminals who have committed particularly serious crimes.  Based on this, you do not need to be like a monster and wish for death to other people.  I am generally against the death penalty for any crimes.

it's probably figuratively put it. Konechno what the death penalty. YES and companies do not always of their own will not be able to raise the necessary funds, so this is certainly an inflection point.

I think that even figuratively speaking it is impossible to dismiss about the death penalty in some areas there was no sphere of human activity.  I think that even for serious crimes it is impossible to deprive a person of life.  We are trying to move away from the past to another world, where people respect each other and value life.  Of course, there are quite a few scammers on the cryptocurrency market, because here you can easily make money.  But fraudsters are everywhere.

In my opinion they must accept the punishment that applies in their place because all countries have their own legal system.
And in my opinion when such fraudsters are sentenced to death, our money will not return so in my opinion it might be better if the fraudster does not need to return our money and is also imprisoned.

Yes, that's what I did in 2018, I still keep track of the altcoin I've invested. Most of those altcoin have a lot of discounts. But that made me see many other opportunities for the future

Death penalty to ICO scammers is a good to me. I am super in favor of it because I'm a victim as a bounty hunter and also an investor of many ICOs. But we need to consider legal processes regarding this and it's hard to deal with those because those project holders are residing on a different country.

Nah, death penalty is kinda harsh haha, but I would be fond of experimenting with some medieval torturing techniques on them like brazen bull, Judas chair, breaking wheel and others. Some of them would definitely deserve some ancient spanking.

Yeah made them suffer and experience the pain of getting scammed after all the hardwork made by the bounty workers and scamming the money of investors,. Let them experience slow death rather than a quick painless death

In each country, there are rules and laws that apply to everyone for the common good. I strongly agree that hackers are given severe penalties because they harm many people, capital punishment may be too cruel because there are still many better ways to solve the problem, namely returning the money they took and in prison to regret it. I hope the hackers are aware that their actions are not commendable.

i am not in favor of harsh punishment but a strict action will be taken against the scammers. Scamming is a big crime but death penalty is a very big punishment and a lineant view will be taken of but there should be a penalty.

Death sentences for ICO Scammers In my personal view it is too heavy, there may be other penalties that are more worthy of what they do and can also make the perpetrator deter and
also frighten other actors who intend to commit the same fraud.

There are well defined penalties for people who get involved in plundering and money laundering as well as scanning. This is enough to make them realize about the degree of severity of the crime they do. ICOs have been abhorred in the market for the dubious nature due to which people have lost their trust and investments so yeah, there should be punished for scamming.

in my opinion, it is enough to put in jail for fraud, and not only in the area that they raised money for the ICO, but also not to pay bounty hunters - they often do this.
They also like to change conditions at the end of the bounty, for example, to introduce KYC - for such a change of conditions it is also necessary to punish.

I never stand by death penalty, be it in the subject of cryptocurrency and any other criminal activities. We do not have any right to take life of others. We are so much freedoms and we need to be allowed to exercise them. But affecting others' while enjoying one's is not tolerated. So in case of ICO scammers, I do not support death penalty. Rather there are many ways to discourage and stop scammers like crypto education and strict regulations.

Nobody forces you to invest your money in scam , this is just your choice and nobody else.. All people want and hope to make big money and this is the main reason why they  are risking with such projects.If you wanna sleep well - buy bitcoin and hodl it.

Death penalty for scammers not a humanly thing to do i think improsonment is just right,im not saying scamming is good but death penalty for this act is unreasomable there are alot of cases that needs deathpenalty more like rape or murder.And scam icos this past months are lessen now icos are being more scam free and less risk to lose money

When it comes about money fraud it looks too biased to make a death penalty for such scammers. I think they deserve an amercement or even imprisonment but not a death penalty.

It depends on how much amount they have got from scamming, if its a million dollars or so, I guess the right thing to do is sentenced them to death. but wait, I'm not in favor of killing them as soon as possible but with the full investigation and without a doubt they've been guilty with this act then they need to be punished by Death Penalty.

With the growth of the internet uses and ICO project, there are a lot of scam and fraud acts. But, I am against death penalty. ICO scams is under the Cybercrime law which does not cover heavy penalty like death penalty. There is so called, "a second chance" for those who do the scam thing just like thief and stafa. Let them just go to the jail and pay for their sin for them to realize their mistakes.

I believe karma will take care of most of them, and that can take many forms. Some end up in prison and others fear for their lives. Others have accidents. The best solution is prevention rather than revenge, however.

I am sorry but i will not favor of death penalty we have not right to get their lifes only god have the right to do that, next time in order not to be victimize of those scammers we should practice ourselves to do more research.

agree with you, we must be very clever at choosing ico that is good and promising for us because nowadays there are many ico who are scam. all that also depends on our luck and that's the risk that arises when we join in ico. only the greedy and troubled team does that.

Yeah it's harsh. And partly, people who get scammed are partly to blame as well for not being really careful or being too greedy. Most of the people i know who got their money scammed are those who wanted easy money without working for it. Or those who always want more. Scammers thrive from people with this kind of attitude you know.

It is true that ICO scam had been rampant recently, however the market at the moment is getting better. It is either the scammers have quieted down or the users are more aware now of how to avoid scams. For your question, I am not in favor that the scammers be given death penalty. Sure losing hard-earned money is devastating, but it does not equate to the value of life. If you ever been scammed before, then I feel bad for you. However, there are still a lot of things to explore in the crypto space, you can even play games (https://vegascasino.io/casino/video-slots/wild-pixies?utm_source=ccwp) to earn money without the very high risk of investing in some projects.

those scammers are hard to find once they hide.. just file a case into their name and ask the police to notify the Interpol so that they cannot get out of the country 

Any scammers should be punished by law, especially scammers in the cryptocurrency market, but the death penalty is too much, even for the most large-scale fraudsters, it will be enough to put them on long prison terms!

at least it is necessary to ensure that all scammers can compensate for the losses of those people whom they have deceived. even if they will go in prison investors will not be satisfied

I wished there could be a law that will prosecute all these bad players. We have not seen such law .Besides, all these bad actors hide they identities by stealing other peoples identity to run their scam business. Most people who are crypto enthusiast has been discourages as a result of their bad practice in the industry .As Crypto market is improving , there would no space for them to steal from people again its just a matter of time.

It depends on the country where you live. For example in my country and in most countries in european union the death penalty is prohibited.  ::)

I don't think we can really just throw away a resource like human life. The investor does not understand what he is investing in, the fraudster can be mistaken in himself.

What a kind of view in your life.Fraud is fraud and completely illegal which means it do really have corresponding consequences for those people
who do commit crime.

Investor doesn't understand on what he do invest? This is the primary reason why these scammers exist on the first place.

This is stupid, how can you ask the life of a person for lost money? Life can't be valued in coins!

Imprisonment might be enough just like qualified estafa case. But, the main problem is how could we know who to filed with if ICO scammers are being protected by unregulated system. No specific rules and regulations have been set for ICOs.

this is the crypto people want to benefit from various ways to manipulate anything to make a profit so be careful when choosing ico if you want to invest

It is really possible to prevent the spread of scams in the ICO.That's just the one who can do it either closes his eyes or he participates in some fraudulent ICO.When investing, you really need to hope and trust only yourself.Since we live in a humane world, I think a prison sentence for fraudsters would be the best punishment.
