"I've come to the realization that I'm never going to get that 2 and a half million dollars back. So that's why I went back to work, as a consultant. And I owe $600K in back taxes to the state and feds... " Wow!!! This just goes to show you you can be brilliant in one area and a complete fool in another. When it comes to investing, over a long period of time (think 30 years), the S&P 500 has historically returned 10% and beats out 90% of all investment vehicles out there. It's a passive investment (meaning, not managed by a money manager) and I immediately get skeptical to anyone who tells me they can consistently beat these returns. You spent your whole life growing your nest egg. The closer you get to retirement, the more conservative and careful you're supposed to be with your investing, because you have less time to recover if you make a mistake and lose your money. 4% of 2.5 million is $100K. With a paid off mortgage, you can live pretty much anywhere in the US on $100K. Why would you risk that great deal on some shady investment you know nothing about?

here is a thought and the ultimate question to help the victims... what if the fbi can track down where the $ was deposit to and the fbi found out who owns the account, then can the victims get their $ back?

The FBI should be able to track down the crypto and the cons. Must be done.
@jimbochoo3316
@jimbochoo3316 7 дней назад
They can track down where it went to, but the money has already exited the USA and is in some account in China, Africa, Russia etc. You are not gonna get your money back and the FBI is generally not gonna waste it's time helping an idiot that got scammed.
@yehuo2825
@yehuo2825 9 дней назад
so if these people gets scam and cannot get their $ back and they still have to pay tax... whats the point of reporting, just to let others know they got scam and hope others will not?
@jimbochoo3316
@jimbochoo3316 7 дней назад
The reason he has to pay taxes is because he withdraw money from his 401k to give the scammers the money. The IRS doesn't care what you did with the money, but you gotta pay taxes on 401k withdrawals because the government didn't tax you on the amount you deposited in your 401k decades ago. So the gov wants it's tax back!
