# For the thread 

This thread is superb entertainment, and I should just appreciate it quietly.  But I cannot help asking why, in the crypto-currency world,  scammers and victims feel the need to insult each other in public forums.  Do they expect that, if they can come up with sufficiently nasty insults, the other side will surrender, and either the stolen coins, or shut up and accept the loss?  

If a person believes that he has been scammed, or accused unjustly of being a scammer, he should go to the police (not just threaten to go), tell them the facts, and ask them for criminal charges.  Or seek a lawyer and file a civil suit.  

If that person cannot do that -- say, because he has no way to prove that the fact happened, or the business was illegal to start with -- then he should just shut up, and try to be smarter next time.
