I don’t want to victim blame here, but both “Logan Paul” and “crypto” together is just screaming scam. That being said, I hope the victims get their money back, though from the article, I doubt it’ll be anytime soon if at all.
On the one hand, I think when people are being scammed, there should be some recourse for them to recover their money.
But on the other hand, if you can’t see through “cryptocurrency” + “Logan Paul” + “game”, maybe you deserve to lose that money. I just wish it could be taken away from Logan Paul and donated to people who really need it.
I happened to have been a relay operator and had one of these romance scam calls drop on me back before they had any protections against that shit so I had to sit there and listen to a dude getting all sappy and sending money to someone typing anonymously and merely using me as a medium to talk. Saddest shit I’ve ever seen, and the only way I could even imagine the tactic working is on extremely lonely people. Because it was not subtle and most reasonable people could have seen right through it.
i don’t think that is victim blaming. People have been saying for a while that this is a scam. There is thousand of stories where people lost everything.
Trusting someone like that with your money is on you. You didn’t listen to the little voice in your head telling you it’s too good to be true.

Yeah, I feel the same about a lot of the romance scams

The hope induced by the scammer to get the victim out of their loneliness is powerful enough to trounce any counter-logic the victim can muster
Lives of victims and their families have been shattered by these scammers
