And this doesn't qualify for special forces. It's "just" some people losing some money.
I'm speechless that they were able to reach that number of victims without consequences. Reeks of a lack of oversight, will, power or coordination on behalf of the investigators. I wonder which reasons they give.
Gifting a bit of existential fear to those scammers might not hurt, since they force it on thousands of others.
But yeah, i don't know, maybe we need a new word for such criminals. The superlative for murderers is "mass murderers". "Mass scammers?"
