Your post, along with some comments contain many of the reasons I quit as a writer/promoter in my 'past life' of 'any' ICO and their product. I won't even do it with a 'disclaimer' attached to an article.
By the way...How about someone in the 'know' and with the energy/gumption to do it, NAME names in order to help protect the innocent? Some of these con artists are still out there scamming away at their hearts content. (Some are even right 'here' on Steemit)
