Law enforcement has very little interest/budget/understanding of these types crimes relative to their ubiquitous nature.


Here are the first to links that pop up Googling "duncan wood scam" Let's contrast the majority finding these and saying oh yeah I'm not falling for his BS with the victims that tell themselves what exactly?

On his Facebook page he's followed by 418 people whereas I'm followed by 2101 without a nice word to say.

Everyone should get one or two mulligans getting suckered, but years on end for some of these folks? Perpetual victims of click 10 ads per day scams are largely idiots. Many seem to have an anti-gubmit bent and believe there are C-KRET non-investment-investments offered only on YouTube to the little guy. Left to their own devices most would lose money to racetrack touts or trading system promoters if not this nonsense. There are exceptions, but not many.


Victims don't come forward. Hell many promoters have the maximum 5000 friends on Facebook and multiples of that in (paid?) followers, did I mention idiots? Frank Calabro of MAPs and USI Tech infamy https://behindmlm.com/companies/usi-...-come-forward/ is of the same ilk as Duncan Wood. Even after his arrest his victims sit thumbs up ass. Charles Scoville is a rare exception where the SEC got involved and he was running the scam, peddlers thus far have moved on unscathed. Bitconnect might scar a few serial con artists but that remains to be seen. We're also talking about legal action that solely occurred in the US, and when that action occurred victims screamed bloody murder.

Bernie Madoff, Allen Stanford, and Scott Rothstein weren't running particularly complex scams, when the feds moved their victims quickly woke up. Keep in mind Madoff confessed, it's not like the SEC went all Deputy Dawg on his ass.
Their victims weren't searching for answers in Facebook groups. Since the victims were moneyed folk the punishments were harsh for promoters. There is no moral difference between stealing a million and a few billion, but look at the penalties imposed.


I'd certainly love to see con artists like Wood spend years in the pokey, but that will never happen. Potential investors need to wake up to the fact that if someone unlicensed is recruiting them it's a scam. They will almost certainly lose their money with little redress. It's cathartic and sad at the same time viewing comments when justice is dispensed. The real upside of sites like this is that it hurts the business of serial fraudsters while educating those that can be taught.
