Quote from: DrWhite on September 02, 2012, 10:08 pmIs it possible for Vlad to return under a new name or are seller accounts now closed? What is to keep people from coming back under a new alias and performing an identical or slightly different scam?Best Regards,DOC 8)As far as I'm aware DPR has no intention of ever closing the registration of new seller accounts. He / she created SR as an agorist marketplace, and judging from their posts here on the forums they absolutely abhor the idea of a closed market that limits competition.I believe vlad1m1r is already here under a new alias keeping an eye on this very thread. I think it highly unlikely that he wouldn't have any interest in finding out a) what people are saying about him and b) how close people are getting to him.Nothing stops people from coming back here under a new alias and scamming again. It is every user's own responsibility to ensure that they are not scammed, and I don't think that's unreasonable given that this is an underground drug market.Finalising Early is the basis of ALL of the scams that have occurred on Silk Road. Obviously for things like investment programs, MP to BTC and BTC loans etc. FE is a requirement, but the only way to protect yourself from the possibility of being scammed by any of these is not to partake in them. I myself considered loaning money to ThaiStick at one stage, then thought better of it as I would always advise others not to do it themselves. Given what's happened with that vendor, I'm glad I reconsidered.I think it's important to remove yourself from all situations like these and look at them objectively without the promise of excellent returns etc. clouding your judgement. It is always then that you make the most logical decisions.You stated earlier that your mistake was putting all your eggs in one basket - we've all done this before! Don't beat yourself up about it, learn from it, and try to keep your head above water because you seem like a very well liked and genuinely nice vendor. It'd be a shame to see you leave, especially because of this.
