FED
I voted for me.
Add Prometheus, Koolio and their team. They run massive pump and dump schemes, are involved with exchanges, coin developers, and I doubt governments will let them get away with it.
Lots to choose from, and I suspect about 90% are wee little fellas that get bullied in real life.
The other 10%, well they are kinda organised.
Actually, anyone out there that can put a name or history to the Dimecoin dev?
I want to meet that guy.

I don't suppose the guy that recently hacked bter and stole $ millions of Nxt counts as a scammer for hacking. However, they paid him bitcoins to return the Nxt, and if he does not return all the Nxt he stole I would count that as a scam. Please add him to the list if he does not keep his word.
I nominate CoinHunter from Solidcoin / Microcash for software piracy of the Bitcoin source code. Contrary to common belief it is actually possible to pirate Free Libre Open Source Software. In the case of the MIT license it takes real effort because the licence is so liberal, but it can be done! Here is the thread regarding the Solidcoin DMCA takedown. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/solidcoin-dmca-takedown-57437
Many would consider Solidcoin the original scamcoin.

Feel free to disclose the details of who did what here. In that case this thread might also act as good warning read for new people... 
How about Realsolid? Is he clear??

He apparently sold 5k mcxfees a couple days ago, take from that what you will. But I have to say a lot of the scam accusations directed at realsolid usually come from people with questionable motives, like bitcoinexpress and spoetnik. I am not taking a stance on if I think realsolid is a scammer or not.

Yes, it would be nice to see more details on what these guys have done.
I suffered a small hit from ziplibrary. He started Sharecoin, and the Sharexcoin Exchange. Sharecoin was free and a stake was worth $100 to $150 at the peak. I sold for $100 but he got me when I made my first deposit of about $40 worth of Qora to his exchange about 1 hour before it went down and never went back up. I was still up $60 because of his exploits, but others suffered some big losses. Right after the exchange went down, he tried to dump the Qora on poloniex and they froze his account. Haven't kept up on the story since then.

I see people bashing this Iconic Expert character FREQUENTLY, but haven't read or seen much of why everyone is calling him a scammer, a cheat and an all around bad dude.
What is it that this dude did or does that I see his name everywhere?
Just curious.

Too bad the crypto innovations didn't originate on Wall Street. Those fuckers are all exempt from consequences. It is a safe zone for criminals. Maybe some of these smaller fish will end up on a stringer some day.
I would say that Iconic Expert piece of shit.
He has pissed a few people off in the BC community that's for sure.

All forms of money are nothing but a confidence game, whether it be fiat, gold, or Bitcoin. Bitcoin is libertarian, non-centralized power base in nature, so you're effectively saying you want a centralized authority to make good on the value of your tokens, coins, magic beans, etc. There is an obvious paradox there. As for laws dealing with intent to scam people, that's another top-down solution that requires a huge central government granted tyrannical amounts of power to control everyone's lives.
At the end of the day, you can either have Bitcoin and anarcho-capitalism, or police state, no Bitcoin, and lots of federal reserve notes.

what he said - except
Bticoin is in effect a failure right now - they dropped the ball sorry guys.
apart from that - i can state the effect better like this :
- a system needs manual "Regulation" to the degree that it is effected by non market forces, so to example that :
Most Crypto currency are a pretty free market, however outside corrupt (as you would expect) influences do effect them, and to that degree they need manual "regulation" its very mild but its there.
now take for example say the "stock market" its totally rigged from the top to the bottom, so just to stop that system from literally wrecking the nation it needs extensive manual regulation, (with dubious consequences)
so the point here is the equilibrium that will be found - if non market forces effect it - then usually they need a non market counter balance to the similar degree.

Crypto falls under the same category as video game currency. What are you going to do, say that someone sold you Super Mario tokens and they decreased in value? It's not a sovereign currency.
