You're not even representing my view accurately. My view is that scammers should be punished, not the entirety of the population on the premise of preempting crime.

Rejecting a person's argument on the grounds that it's "extreme [insert label]" that "everyone rejects" is not constructive.

What punishment is being met out on the population?
A couple examples: restricting them from soliciting investment without going through a $6 million compliance process for gaining approval to do an IPO. Restricting people from engaging in anonymous securities transactions with each other.
