Operating in a Legal Hinterland

Many of the frauds operate in a legal hinterland where the tactics they use make it difficult to unambiguously identify it as fraud. This makes some ‘victims’ adamant that they are not victims of fraud; others, even though they recognise it probably was a fraud, are less likely to report it because of the perceived ambiguity ; and another group who may be conscious it is a fraud, want to report it, but because of the ambiguity face a law enforcement community unwilling to take it on or passing it on to other agencies. For example, some lotteries do pay out prizes and consequently the reaction of many police forces who receive complaints is that it is a ‘civil matter ’ between the victim and lottery. Some scams also have very small print contradicting the main message of the scam. Fraudsters play on this and even if the law enforcement community does become interested they claim the dispute is a civil matter and of no interest to the police (Shover et al, 2003).

Following the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, vigilantes on Reddit wrongly identified a number of people as suspects. Notable among misidentified bombing suspects was Sunil Tripathi, a student reported missing before the bombings took place. A body reported to be Sunil's was found in Rhode Island's Providence River on April 25, 2013, as reported by the Rhode Island Health Department. The cause of death was not immediately known, but authorities said they did not suspect foul play. The family later confirmed Tripathi's death was a result of suicide. Reddit general manager Martin later issued an apology for this behaviour, criticising the "online witch hunts and dangerous speculation" that took place on the website.

Wasting no time, a few days later, my attorneys shredded him in a response.

Smart's Lawyer posted:

Mr. Smart has never posted any material about the Roberts’ children. What you
allude to was a September 28 2015 Twitter post that was not posted by Mr. Smart. It
appeared in his Twitter feed. And, in any case, the person posted it from PUBLIC
records available on https://www.imdb.com where Ms. Roberts herself posted them since
her daughter is a child actress, which further establishes her as a public figure.
Contrary to the baseless claims asserted by your clients, however, Mr. Smart has
actual archived evidence that this was posted by Ms. Roberts. Said information also
appears on the public profile of her Facebook page, as well as publicity photos on
Tumblr. In fact, this same information, and these same children, also appear in a
PUBLIC Star Citizen pitch video from Youtube in 2012, which Mr. Smart has also
archived for evidentiary purposes. For these reasons, please provide actual evidence
to substantiate your client’s baseless claims, as well as any legal authority that you
have that Mr. Smart is subject to liability simply by reposting publicly available
material, especially material that was placed into the public domain by your clients

Most people when placed in a room with a known pedophile will beat the pedophile to a pulp.

Yes, I can see why goons are worse than pedophiles.


And they wonder why everyone thinks they are a toxic and generally hosed up community.

You know, considering how long the PU has been out, and how frequently this happens, it blows my mind that they don't have a lock system in place yet. Now, I know nothing about game development, but I cannot imagine that a simple flag toggling "ARE DOORS LOCKED Y/N" can be that hard to implement.
