Hello all,
By being an ETH holder/investor/gamer (all these 3 adjectives are not mutually exclusive ^^), I have a hard time accepting that people can just make scam and get away with it.
Setting a part our feelings about Ponzi and pyramid scheme, we are facing the honest ones and the scams.
What I don't understand is why we can't just put a claim on them are get back the stolen - yes, I consider it to be a theft- coins ?
I mean, we can easily track down the transaction through etherscan and go back either to their desktop wallet (and get ip then address) or to an exchange (the exchange has the necessary legal information about individuals: in my account on Kraken, I had to provide my ID, electricity bills and so on)
Personnaly, I "only" lost a few coins but even that is way too much. Not being able to pursue these scammers throws a bad image on emerging cryptocurrencies and in the end it might prevent them from unlocking their full potential. ("Hey Mr BigBanker, did you heard about Ethereum/Bitcoin ? " -> "That scam shit ?")
All opinions welcome !
