It's a very good point, we are actually not protecting the scammer, we are more concerned about the industry as a whole and the reputation of domaining. If stories like these start to perpetuate across the internet it will affect the resale value of domains and all domainers will be affected by a general consensus.
Domaining already gets a bad rap and it's for this reason a lot of the general public will not buy directly from domainers forcing us into 25% GoDaddy commission territory to gain retail trust.
You can always point people to the topic. If the community thinks I should move this to the main part of the board I am open to it, but we move most topics that could harm a business, or the domaining industry, to Hushed because our intention with the site is to promote domainers and businesses and not to harm them.
In this case DOMAINING is the business and I'm not sure if spreading one guys antics would do more harm than good to the industry as a whole.
Feel free to discuss, I am always open to change if members think I made an error in the decision.
