I agree with you completely: "Judgement is fantastic and absolutely necessary for any respectable community that values good character."
I welcome people to use their critical thinking skills whenever possible. No one is perfect, but a decent person admits when they are wrong. I have done it several times and I learned from it. If I didn't care about the long-term health and growth of Steemit, I would just walk away and never reveal the information I discovered. I really don't want this place infested with scam artists. If it does, then I'm afraid mainstream adoption will never occur. I have invested a great deal of time and energy, which has resulted in a sizable investment stake. But I possess integrity and I do not engage in shady deals. I cannot be bought off nor will i exchange my integrity for money. I call it as I see it. Anyone who has been here long knows that.
I cannot support someone who is currently doing significant damage to others in a criminal capacity. Doing so would go against my principles.
I welcome anyone with any information about this to come forward. As a community, we have a right to know the truth.
