Especially scams on new big systems.
In my mind, it points to the age-old problem of watching the watchmen. Every time we have criminal punishments, we either (a) have a cumbersome, process-laden system of justice that drags things out to the point of apathy (e.g. Agoran Consent for pledges). Or (b) we have a Sheriff of some kind that can insta-punish - and that power eventually results in a scam. I'm not sure we've ever gotten the balance right (though a couple of the systems have gotten closer than this one).
