If we go around banning everyone that gets reported for doing this we'll start seeing such threads more often I think. What happens when one of these threads are posted and a respected coder is the one begin called a thief?

The burden of proof is with you guys, and a couple of copy/pasted e-mail exchanges or saying x person screwed me out of x amount of money doesn't prove if this happened the way you said it did. Anything you can show me to prove what you're saying could have been altered...

I'm not calling you a liar, this is just the way things are...

This is why it's important that you do extensive research on a person before you decide to hire them for any type of service. Get references, see what they have released here, and see if they give good support inside of their hack threads and in the support forums. Remember if something smells fishy, odds are it is.

I'm glad to hear you got your money back, good luck finding someone reliable to get this job done for you.
