What a shame! I never could understand how people live with such wicked and crooked minds, that they are only looking for the opportunity to steal something. It doesn't matter what: a chewing gum, a wallet or someones account! We had a guy like this in school, he stole some chocolates from the nearest shop and got caught for that, but he was a kid so they didn't do much. 6 years ago I was trying to get a taxi while being a bit drunk and the first car that stopped was driven by that guy! Next morning I didnt remember much< but I couldnt find my phone, it was Galaxy Note 1 one of the first fablet phones, which just came to the market, so was kinda expensive. I asked the guy if he saw it in his car, he refused. I was not sure whether he stole my phone or not and I lost the papers for it as well. One of my friends persuaded me to push on this guy and say I will call cops and tell them I was using it in his car last time. I was bluffing as I had no documents for the phone and wouldn't be able to prove its actually mine! And what do you think, som e guy brought me my phone the next day, and on the wallpaper was the photo of my classmate with his gf!!! He gave it to her as a "gift'!!!! Can you even imagine this? SO after this story, I dont believe that people like him ever change and despise thieves even more! I am glad you just lost a bit, I am sure you gonna be careful next time, but I dont understand why his account still exists, checking his wallet shows it's not his first time, and some people suffered much more!

What a story! So he even knew you personally, but that didn't stop him from stealing your phone and then giving it to his girlfriend? Amazing!
I think you're pretty right: these type of people never change. If they develop a criminal instinct, they'll never be able to get rid of it.
Technically the acount from @sami100 could be deleted from the blockchain through one of the next hardforks. Yet, as far as I know it's a political decision to not block any accounts since this would affect the dezentralized character of the platform. Until a certain degree I second that perspective, however in this case we're talking about a criminal that doesn't do anything on this blockchain than ripping off other users. So he's not even a contribution to the community, he's pain in the ass.
I guess the decentralized philosophy is great, unless it opens doors for abuse. We need tools to handle such situations and people. Just sitting and watching doesn't seem very contemporary to me.
He was my classmate! Studied 9 years in the same classroom!!! I think it should be voting or something to ban someone. On the other hand nothing will stop that guy from making a new account and start stealing again!
OMG - then it's even worse!
I have no idea if banning would be a possible solution. I just did a video about exactly that question - and some of the first answers given in the comments are really interesting. It's a tricky thing: On one hand you want decentralization / open doors / no barriers. But on the other hand you don't want to hang with assholes..
