is it worth to get rich by a scam?
could you be happy with that money or would you feel bad for the people you scammed?
Intresting thought. However, I think most people are unhappy and ungrateful as they are. They will still be miserable but with some money in the bank.
I'm pretty sure most don't care.
I brought into an ICO I knew was a scam years ago and shilled it for 3x profits. I still feel bad about the suckers that brought my bags.

well I mean if people are just willing to hand money to a scam it means they probably didn't look into it so it's their own fault

I scam people for a living and it feels fine. If people are dumb enough to fall for my scams then I deserve their money. It really is that simple.
Getting scammed is a great lesson and I consider myself to be one of the greatest teachers around.

for me, i would fear repercussion and so it would not be worth. i dont like living in paranoia
>lived with warrants for arrest for 3 years
going out in public starts to get scary, just not worth at all even if you get away.
a legal scam ? absolutely

that's the attitude that you need to be a scammer.

interesting attitude (honestly).. I will think about that
mind to share (without details) what you do as a scam? crypto-related / reallife?
>>3061774
what kind of repercussion ?
karma or like people find you to get revenge?

Pic related, the devs, ICO funders and even the mods of a major exchange that will go unnamed were all in on it.

I wouldn't feel bad scamming people. I would feel bad getting caught scamming people. That's why I wouldn't.

I don't know, ask Madoff. I'm not sure he ever recounted.
I suppose you must consider the intentions of people who buy into scams, more often than not, they're chasing a "too good to be true" deal in which they make excess returns for minimal investment.
Greed drives both ends of the scam. Although scams which involve leading people to believe you're someone else (like the IRS) or which prey on the vulnerable (i.e. elderly w/ dementia) are an exception. Those guys SHOULD feel bad.
However if you con some rich guy who just wants more... I could sleep at night

2014 was a different time, regulation was non-existent and everyone knew 99% of alts were PnD scams. We convinced lots of people it would go from 12 sato to ~100 sato and offloaded on them @ 12.
