[vpFREE] Re: I got scammed on Ultimate X

Yes stealing a wallet and not returning a wallet both have the same effects, they are morally the same in my book.

This is morality not criminality. It's a statement about whether something should be illegal, not whether it already is.

If you let somebody drown by not throwing them a life vest I think it's morally equivalent to throwing them overboard without a vest in the first place. I believe in consequentialism so only the final outcome matters. In either case ploppy loses money and ap makes money.

So, lifting someone's wallet, dropping it on the ground and then picking it up and keeping it is the same as finding a wallet on the ground? I don't know how you make those 2 equal.
