I hate it when I get scammed out of the money I embezzled fair and square all on my own.

This is what actual crypto law enforcement looks like, as compared to the SEC spending years ignoring all the scams and fraud and instead targeting every legit crypto business like a bunch of mafioso.

Now, find the ones who did it and kill them. Somebody start doing something about all of this corruption, theft, etc., etc. at high levels. Do something drastic to put the fear of God in people.

They’ll never find me. For a home address, all I gave them was I lived in a tax shelter.

Once again the “victims” (embezzler) sent his crypto to an “exchange” run by the baddies. No “anonymization” expected and none given..the victim essentially gave his money away.

If anonymity is required get a fresh Bitcoin “wallet” (or “BTC Core”) and never re-use an address or place your BTC on an exchange from your new wallet. No “KYC” at an exchange means you are an anonymous encrypted number as far as the Internet, the public or the Feds are concerned.

Pirro is a female pitbull.
So is Stefanik.
Anyone messing with either of them is going to be chewed up and spit out.

I hope they get the money back to the people that got scammed.

I don’t know if that’s even possible.

All fine and dandy, but nothing still beats cash or PM’s, unaffected by power outages, lost codes, etc…us old timers will stick with what has worked for 5,000 years.

OK, but plenty of forms of “cash” have come and gone over 5K years! Diversify... PM’s, stable food stocks, antibiotics, .22LR, booze (fav trade item), and Bitcoin to get money quickly (10 minutes) to relatives/friends in other states & countries. Also as USD goes down in value BTC will continue to rise in value...like real estate “they aren’t making more” (only 21 million BTC “minted”/mined). Hawaii might disagree on the “no new real estate” tho.:

How do you seize something that doesn’t exist?

I know BPB. He's a professional and I am certain applied the time honored tradition of setting up an NGO to be financed by USAID to employ the wives of the IRS director a couple of senators and congressmen. Another similar NGO employs the spouses of a couple of USAID contract officers who fund and write up the whole scam.
