Of course the victims of this scam should be blamed to an extent, I mean for someone in possession of that huge amount of bitcoin should definitely try to atleast know more about privacy and security, I sometimes wonder how people are a bit careless with their privacy regardless of how they were able to earn huge amounts of bitcoin. Even if you inherited your bitcoin from your someone, I think learning how to keep them not exposed to this kind of scam is a primary responsibility that you have to take on.
However, if you have bitcoin and you do not learn how to keep them safe, then you should be ready to face scandals like this and you should have youre self to be blamed, in my opinion there is no excuse for being this careless. Its not ignorance its simply irresponsible.
I can see that majority of the posts here focus on the victim carelessness. Perhaps, the mantality of blaming the victim is the reason why scammers always feel comfortable without regretting.
Someone lost probably his life savings but we are saying he's irresponsible? Like seriously? If I should have my door unlocked, does that give anyone the right to enter my room without my permission? Absolutely No. We shouldn't justify the action of this boys by shifting the blame.
I know the importance of security hygiene. The man failed in that aspect. Some people are not too good in that aspect because some of them bought in the early days or got it somehow long time ago but that doesn't mean they're irresponsible. These boys are poorly brought up by their parents if they greedy and criminal at this age. They are the irresponsible here and not the victim.
