It isn't right for someone to continue to enjoy the benefits of being a member at Head-Fi if they are ripping off other members of the community. It's as simple as that. On the one hand Head-Fi doesn't want to get in the middle of these transactions (I've seen moderators say that many times), and on the other you want to act as facilitator and provide a venue for the parties to come together and resolve their differences. Sorry, but you just can't have it both ways, and I would rather see the admins err on the side of protecting the community. Leaving the trash here is only going to stick in the craw of people who are contributing and upstanding members of the Head-Fi community.
You can debate on where one should draw the line, but someone who has bilked members out of thousands of dollars is a person who clearly has stepped over it in my view. Several members who have been outed as theives are still active on the forum. Frankly, I'd like to hear what Jude has to say on this subject.

Perhaps we need a new classification: "Suspended Member (Warning: Do NOT Trade)" - where they are restricted to
1: posting in the general forums
2: Private Messages
All other forums are out of bounds to these members.
This way they can still be contacted, but won't be able to con other members in good standing.
