I mean sure, these guys aren't the only ones who did these rebill offers. But they were the target of the whole Scamville issue.
Turning around, a month later and picking the guy behind this, as one of the 6 for people to vote for, just seems wrong.
If we don't regulate, what we find ethical as a startup community, then 5-10 years down the line Congress will do it for us. And trust me, we won't like it one bit, if they have to step in to protect the consumer.

Unethical moves like this happen in broad day light and in headlines all the time. Generalizing, the vast majority of the American (other countries, too) population honestly doesn't raise enough of a stink. Is it because we are uneducated, don't understand the impact, or merely don't care because things won't change for us tomorrow? We do not grasp the gradual net effect of many 'tomorrows' as the cause because it is too far removed from the action.
