I guess it's possible this operation was totally isolated, but whenever a scam (whether of customers or webmasters) is exposed, there always seems to be a crop of people popping up and claiming to have known about it.
I get more p*ssed at people who turn a blind eye to the cr*p that goes on, than at those who dish it out. Because if legitimate webmasters can't be bothered to protect the industry and each other, we might as well hang out a sign saying "shysters welcome".

What a difference in attitude. One guy who says unless we clean up our act we will always be bottom opne to scammers, the other who newcomers are suckers. Wonder which view will prevail in the long term?
But the worse side of this is Visa. At what point did they say to themselves "There is something wrong with this account" Was it when the FBI were standing in there offices?
How come they did not just cancel the account, or were they just looking at the bottom line?
