Maybe cla believed that badguy has a decent standing in the community, as he's a beloved clown on a forum called Poker Fraud Alert. It's still his own fault for betting with strangers on the internet, but you can't say it should be obvious to everyone that badguy is a known scammer when nobody treats him as such.
I might be wrong here, but excluding the whole Josey debacle which had nothing to do with wagering, AFAIK Badguy has never scammed anyone outside of PeterDC, and that was on DD a long time ago involving the biggest scammer any of these sites have ever seen. There was something a few weeks ago from some other site I've never heard of, but he seemed to have an answer for that pretty quickly that no one questioned. Is he really a "known" scammer?
BTW, I highly doubt anyone that's been around a while considered 408 an actual known scammer. He just got hammered on it because he was a train wreck that most people grew to strongly dislike, and his constant excuses/accusations and reasons for not paying were very deserving of being heavily ridiculed.
