      Yup! Should have read that before putting all his money into it.
      Everyone wants a high return but the said “high return” in a very short time is already a red flag.
      I feel so sorry for this senior as all seniors like myself wants to retire gracefully not in total hardship but there are so many greedy evil that take advantage the vulnerability of the seniors community.

      We live in an era where that's become the common. The last 5 years markets have been flooded with "get in on the ground floor to this amazing technology" "elon musk is investing in it so you should too" etc etc. I cant blame people for falling for it because you're bombarded with people renting lamborghinis and hanging out with minor celebrities telling everyone they're idiots for not doing that. People who are desperate see they finally have a chance to do the thing they missed that made some tech guy from silicon valley a millionaire so they take the chance not understanding what can happen.
      These are often not just idiots but people who dont want to be left behind.

    This is a bonafide tragedy but - I've known this person for 42 years and he's had a lifetime of making absolutely terrible choices. It's just so incredulous he actually believed something like this would ever lead anywhere good. I feel his deep pain but...this time? I can no longer support such destructive behavior. Regardless, I will always wish him the best, albeit - permenantly from afar. By this point - with many other choices of the same magnitude and me in very bad health, no...I cannot be there any longer. Very very sad story but so scary to say: I'm not the slightest bit surprised.

    Proverbs 28:20
    A faithful person will be richly blessed, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished //
    1 Timothy 6:7-10
    For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
