Neither. I'm simply stating the obvious.
What's baffling is watching forum members here defend criminals who are actively stealing peoples money. As far as I'm concerned, that makes them as complicit as the criminals they are defending.

Cant tell, FUD or Micon with a new strategy.
All it takes is a few seconds in the lending or securities board to see how this forum is plagued with con artists and shills. Every time an obvious lending scam pops up, the few honest people on the forum who denounce it get shouted down by the rest of you. Even the moderators join in to defend the ponzi schemes and other scams.
Hell, one of your moderators has a security fraud scheme that is falling apart as we speak, another has admitted to actively participating in multiple ponzi schemes (even actively promoting some). There are so many scams here that your lending board has a disclaimer. If that doesn't speak volumes on the amount of scammers on the forum, it don't know what does.
But there is no problem, right? All is A -OK in the bitcoin community, right?
Mark my words, left unchecked, this poisonous community will kill bitcoin long before the government will, and most of you will be sitting here with an Internet currency worth nothing, wondering where it all went wrong.

I began visiting this forum a few months ago, and since I have been here I have been baffled by the proliferation of banking and security scams and frauds. Every "business" I have looked at has been nothing more than a poorly hidden scheme to seperate fools from their money.
So, why do you think scams are operated so freely here? Lack of moderation on the forum? A community to greedy to care? Is it just the anonymity and the (until recently) lack of punishment and law enforcement?
Why shouldn't the forums (and bitcoin overall) be shut down? Why shouldn't a central authority be set up to tackle the frauds that are so endemic in this community?

Right, the SEC and all government agencies always let every person know their intentions in public in advance all the time.
Hey you drug dealers in the house there, btw just thought you might want to know, there is a possibility since I have been watching you for a while now that I just might raid your sometime VERY soon. Just sayin.
Excellent attempt at avoiding the question. As a moderator, you are part of the problem by allowing security and banking fraud to thrive on this forum.
Me? I don't allow anything, I have no powers to allow or disallow anything that doesn't fall on the spam category(and your first posts in this forum fall on that category, so prepare yourself to see them vanish).
Sorry about that. You need to find some other scapegoat(lol)
You can try to silence me all you want, it wont fix your broken community, it wont get all those victims their money back, and it wont stop me from saying what needs to be said.
Silence you? No way, but, one word, one liner replies just to get away from newbie jail, forget about it...
Complaint about it to the SEC if you wish. So fa, you're nothing more than a spammer and troll. Continue down that path, please...
Go shut down the U.S. Dollar. It's involved in far larger and far more numerous scams and illegal transactions than Bitcoin ever has.
+1
And as for the anonymity of Bitcoin, I'd say that good old-fashioned cash transactions can be even more untraceable.

If you look past the obvious answers, you'll see one that's even more obvious. Specifically, there are scams everywhere. These forums actually have relatively few scams, at least when compared to the rest of the Internet, or even just my spam folder.Why shouldn't the forums (and bitcoin overall) be shut down?

We already have one. It was established long ago as a government agency, a commission if you will, in charge of regulating the exchange of things like securities and other investments. I just can't remember what it's called. The Commission of Exchange of Securities? No, that's not it... Oh wait, I remember now, it's called the Securities and Exchange Commission. You may have heard of it. Why aren't they doing something about all this? 
OP and his posts smell fishy to me...
Given the atrocities of central authority throughout history, some of us like our anarchy here. 
(Personally I don't quite consider myself an anarchist or voluntarist or anvol or ancap or whatever name you prefer, but it interests me and I relate to it strongly. I'm probably more of a libertarian or classical liberal on most issues, with criminal justice being a possible exception.)

that's some very atlas-like trolling, but for some reason i think this is someone else doing the trolling. any guesses?
Small price to pay for liberation.

It's just that the community is immature. It's the same reason the "wild west" was once wild.So, why do you think scams are operated so freely here? Lack of moderation on the forum?

Sure, imposing a central authority would be one way to tackle the fraud. But it's far from clear that it's the only way.

He's right though, your grammar and spelling is atrocious.

Why are SEC agents so illiterate?
