Scammer tags

Are they still "awarded" or were they replaced by the trust system?

AFAIK they can still be handed out, don't ever remember seeing anything saying people are no longer being branded.

I think I read it once a few weeks ago but maybe it was someone wondering too.

I'd know if a specific guy could be entitled to get one.
He created an altcoin and later admitted than all altcoins are the "world's largest Ponzi scheme".
He also said several times he badly needed money.

This clearly seems to fit the definition of scam.

A confidence trick (synonyms include confidence scheme and scam) is an attempt to defraud a person or group after first gaining their confidence.

Is there a thread in Scam Accusations about him?  If not, that would probably be a good place to start to have all info compiled in one place.

Nope
The problem is that nobody bought him anything and it seems to be necessary to create a thread there
I was just wondering about the tag to make sure that nobody will ever trust him with money as he admitted at least one attempted scam
Maybe the Untrustworthy tag may fit too?

I thought so because I only read the sticky about the thread format
Looks like not many threads actually have this format so I'll make one
Thanks
