Hmm. I don't think giving someone and undetermined amount of rocks until they give the cash back isn't going to work. Especially if they own two accounts. If you give an undetermined amount of rocks to one account, and the person just goes on the other account, the person who jailed the "scammer" is actually making the money go to waste.
While the scammer may use the money in unorthadox(sp?) ways, it is at least getting used. The person who has the money may not choose to go on to the jailed account again, but to continue on a second account, and there you have a police wasting however much amount of money.
I do not say this in a defence to any offenders, but only to make those who punish the offenders more aware of the long-term effects.
However, if it was a determined amount of rocks, then the cash could then be used at a later date - therefore the money is not wasted.
