if you have an opportunity to make profit(accounting for risks) from scamming people - somebody will do it. Regardless of a moral system in your society.

Ico offers a crime-less way to get the money for yourself silently and close the business as if it failed due to natural reason. There is no investigation for each, no punishment for such behavior.

This make people, even those who didnt want to commit a crime before to scam people. So availability of ico increases the crime level. So yes, ico as it is now does have scammness property to it

This is stupid strategy for primitive society, it does not take into account sustainability of business, profits from economy development and other complex concepts that people without deep understanding of sustainable economy concepts may call "common good bullshit". It does make profit in short run - but so does killing your neighbour and stealing his stuff (which really sucks even when you are a tribe without police).

For scammer it is good in a long run. He has the money for several years to do a normal business.

Damage he have done to a society is not as important as gain he got from a scam

If I see a project that got money from scam that is more important than damaging impact of scam, I'll praise it.

Maybe I should make one?

He stole X money and done X damage to a society. Now he is doing business, and nobody is checking him, because its his money. He got money for free, has no penalty if he loses second time. His motivation is low because he doesn't care much, he got the money easily.

Now lets imagine another person who made the same business first guy does in a second case, but in this guy seeks for an investor. Investor rejects him if project is bad, or gives money if project is good (+% to success because of investor filter). Person now has an obligation (for investor) and he also spends his own money that he earned and person has strong a incentive to not to lose (+motivation, +% to success)

Oh there is so much more about motivation, and so many throttling and demotivation from investors is common (sometimes deadly for projects - see for example almost any government-funded modern business) that I would say person with stolen money may have all advantages here. But it depends, in many cases you are right, at least in first part.

Government is the worst investor. widely known story about the inventor of a plane - government invested in a guy from university with knowledge of aerodynamics, he spend lots of money and made an announcement that he failed and it will take millions of years to invent the flight. 9 days after this 2 guys from a bike shop made a plane that flies for their own money (usa)

This stuff happens over and over again. Also so much for motivation.

And free money

So there's this Sparkle Coin platform that is pre-financed for 100 years, whaat? Should i buy tokens now for my grandchildrens spoils?
