I completely agree with you. That is why scammers should pay for their actions. The people that is lying and abusing the trust of young and inexperienced people should pay. And the government is the means that we collectively agree that is in charge of creating laws and prescribing punishments.
At least, I hope, on that we agree.
- errantmind 5y agoI agree the government should pass laws and prescribe punishments, but in such a way that protects physical security and property (from e.g., violence and coercion). Broadly speaking, I don't want a government dictating what are acceptable financial investments nor what is acceptable speech. Here, some young people are willingly entering into get-rich-quick schemes to avoid facing the reality of everyday life. Only the most naive are putting money into these scams. The quicker these delusions are dispelled, the better for everyone.
