22,000 victims! Why states do not treat these criminals as terrorists operating weapons of financial and psychological mass destruction is beyond my understanding. If they make that many people suffer, they deserve the same suffering, if not more.

Because likely they are residing outside of US.

And this doesn't qualify for special forces. It's "just" some people losing some money.

It's much more than people "just losing some money", anyone who ever had anything stolen from them, or have been broken into can tell you that.

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.

Probably because you’re obviously one of the myriad Americans that have bought in to terrorism now meaning “things that I don’t like”.

Scamming is partly intense psychological violence, and its financial and psychological consequences are far reaching, and here at an unfathomable scale - an entire city of people! In this sense they terrorize people. And they should likewise be relentlessly pursued and sentenced as a consequence. That city would go to war against them if they were one.

But yeah, i don't know, maybe we need a new word for such criminals. The superlative for murderers is "mass murderers". "Mass scammers?"

What an inflammatory and ignorant comment.
