All his other accounts should be banned as well right? After reading the fraud, I believe it's not completely the scammer's fault. How can someone release the bitcoins without double-checking with the bank that if money has arrived? There are mobile banking, internet banking, and all other services to access your account and see what's the status of the transactions. If someone is lazy enough to not verify their payments, they shouldn't be dealing with strangers at all. People giving their accounts for such scams will be the ones going to jail with a nice life lesson that "don't be greedy".

Localbitcoin website itself gives warning before releasing bitcoin while doing a trade as "Never release your bitcoin before you receive money to your account". So I guess there are some other intentions behind these offers.

I feel money laundering could be a reason if a high trading volume account post offers then no one gets any suspicious feel so the scammer (who wants to launder illegally obtained money into bitcoin) takes advantage of this.
