Bitcoin War: The First Real Threat to Bitcoin?
You can't easily "ban" these things, since it's a decentralised P2P system. The whole point is to prevent
anyone
(original creators, banks, a government, etc.) from being able to interfer with it. It does mean the system fails like that.

Everyone is free to ignore whatever block chains they want to. I can refuse to honor blocks built off what I consider fraudulent block chains.
