regarding 2), sounds interesting. Got any more information on that?

Surely, if you are objective and just present facts, this can be discussed here? What multi-million dollar scams are going on on reddit?

There were a few Bitcoin/dogecoin scams, unsurprisingly.

Two incidents I remember are a) /r/hearthstone, where a moderator who owned a fansite killed links to other fansites and b) a moderator of /r/tumblrinaction posted a link to a MLM on the top bar.

Don't forget when it was revealed that a moderator on /r/adviceanimals also owned quickmeme.com. He apparently ran bots that downvoted any non-quickmeme images and upvoted quickmeme images.
He could be talking about Quickmeme?

Here is a terrible overview from a quick google search: http://www.themarysue.com/reddit-bans-quickmeme/
