That is one bad side of the internet. It leverages negative tendencies of bad people because they don't have their victims right in front of their eyes. Stealing your physical wallet with 50 bucks right from your pockets feels worse than stealing your digital wallet with 50k bucks in btc. It just sucks so hard.
I hope the scammers get what they deserve.
Some will and some will not. If they know how to use the web and stay anonymous, it is very hard for the investigators to find them. I think many or at least some of the scammers know how to hide successfully. The business with KYC data mentioned here is just another huge disappointment for everyone who wants this industry to grow and have a great reputation.
Quite sad they are mass-producing scams.... look at Dean Nolan and his betking scam then compare it to Humancoin and their scam. Then compare it to Minexcoin and Rock Trading - all are scammers that scam at varying levels but all are nonetheless scammers.
They use all techniques to lure people in then either selective scam, ICO scam or other scam but leave the end investor out of pocket and in nearly all cases they send their passport, ID, licence, bills and bank details to these scammers.
Very sad.
But if the names are known why can't anybody stop them from pulling off all these scams?
