Rudd-O,
While we all would like to see Hector Matias Predilailo AKA Caranada brought to justice. I personally DO NOT condone violence in that effort.
And I think for the good of bitcoin and bitcointalk.org that type of discussion should be kept off the boards.
We will have plenty of material to pursue that legally.
Thank you.
I agree with you, actually. I do not think that violence should be used to try and recoup what the scammer stole, or as a retributive mechanism -- first, everyone knows that people in Heaven (or Hell) don't, can't, won't pay their debts, and second, well, aggressing against a person is just wrong.
I think that the scammer should be compelled
by ostracism only to return the stolen funds. In pursuing such, it would be wise to contact the people listed as his friends and give them a heads-up. If his social network compels him to pay pay, he'll pay up much, much faster than pursuing legal "solutions" against him (which will only end up making money for the lawyers).
In Chile they had a private bill collector business dedicated to doing exactly this. They'd hire big burly guys, dress them in very nice and spiffy suits, and then have the dapper gentlemen openly follow the scammer around, telling anyone who interacts with the scammer that he is a scammer and he has not paid a debt. Sometimes the company would also spring for night serenades with a musical band, singing right in front of the home of the scammer, with loudspeakers, all about how the scammer hasn't paid his debt. Never would they resort to violence, of course.
Scammers paid. Oh, did they pay.
