Should We Shame Scam Artists as a Method of Punishment?

Many folks believe we should shame scam artists as a punishment. In theory this works great, but in practice it does not work at all. In fact, it leads to horrible consequences. One socialist regulator gave a speech that this might be the best way to treat business scam artist offenders. But a real scam artist would not care and a real decent person miss labeled will have been slandered and libeled.

It doesn’t work, indeed, I have been shamed by a competitor all over the Internet and at the sale of my company I think it probably cost me six million dollars in the sale price. Worst off the competitor who did it is a scam artist, not even a real competitor. People are harmed and damaged all the time from this.

Worse off the laws are misused by the governments and lawyers make up stuff in lawsuits. It amounts to a witch-hunt and extortion as the government regulatory bodies, which every year grow in bureaucracy. The number of Press Releases they send out when they THINK they have located a scam artist based on complaints from competitors has gotten to the point of 8,000 or more. Thus they are scamming the public into believing they are actually protecting them. When their chief concern is to con the public into believing they are doing due justice.

Lawyers are always trying to make a buck, by getting the government to render decision on a company so they can pounce on them. Yet the lawyers are the ones who have hijacked the law in this case. Our regulatory bodies thus using this “shame methodology” are shaming themselves as they purport Truth, Justice and the American way.
