You completely avoided my question. Are the investors also scam promoters?
Huh ?
Investing money is not the same as running around telling everyone how great the project is.
So.. if they just invested money, no.
If they however created threads in forums and tried to convince others to buy into it, then yes.
How are they not supposed to know it was a scam yet a Bitcointalk bounty manager is?
People investing in ICOs are stupid.
Wapinter did not just create a bounty, but he promoted their ICO with an ANN. He put his reputation behind this project.
He has to be sure of what kind of project he is promoting.
As a Legendary you are promoting a money laundering service, isn't that bad enough? Just because Chipmixer isn't a scam it doesn't mean they aren't helping scammers clean their dirty bitcoins.
Excuse me ?
A money laundering service ? No.
I am promoting a privacy based mixing service. This has nothing to do with money laundering, but with privacy for everybody.
Do you know what is helping scammers too ? Medicine.
Shall we now stop producing and researching medicine, just because some scammer also get healthy again because of medicine ?
That's nonsense. Just because something is abused by a few, you can't just take it away from everybody.
"If you promote something, you have to stand behind it."
That's not true at all. Wapinter dissociated himself from Kepler a long time ago. I suggest you read up on the matter before rushing to judgment. Blaming him for what happened makes about as much sense as blaming the investors.
And still i see the ANN is up without any scam warning, not taken down or anything.
It still reads "We.." and "Our project..".
Doesn't seem like he truly disassociated himself from this scam project. Or what would be the reason to keep the ANN up instead of striking it through and marking it as a scam in a big bold red font ?
