You are right. Bitcointalk should take better care of ranks and scammers. Only see that they are fast with deleting reflinks. But when members steal others money, nothing happens. Also seems it that several high rank accounts are traded. At least if other honest users report that, bitcointalk should do sth to prevent their users. In this section (other thread) seems also to be one baught legendary account to trap users into ponzi scheme.
So.. looked a bit around and found this thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1669636.0Seems that account trading seems to be allowed.
If so, bitcointalk, you can shut down your rankings because they are worthless.
This is a complex problem, people are responsible for themselves and should do their own research before investing in anything
Sale of accounts and another complex problem
The forum has a section of loans and these loans have collateral, and who makes an employee delivers his account as collateral, if the person who gives the loan does not receive his bitcoin, that person sells the account that was given as collateral
