That's true, it's always easier to be caught up in a scam than you think it would be.

I haven't been scammed, but I've been tricked by the cops into saying something in a certain situatoin I shoudln't have, even though i was a long-time ACLU member who thought I was an expert in your rights and best practices not to talk to cops! they're just really good at tricking people, they've been trained in it. As of course have scammers.

Still... this one seems especially wild. What banker could think any legitimate financial instrument required you send to millions more to "activate"? Although I guess once you're in for $10 millionn, your incentive to avoid admitting you've been scammed is even higher? And I guess maybe "cryptocurrency" is something nobody actually understands but just seemed like magic money -- but what is a BANKER doing investing millions in a financial product he doesn't understand at all? It's pretty embaressing.

And of course that's without even talking about the greed and complete abuse of money that wasn't his in a small town where literally knows the people he's stealing from of course. But just the sheer stupidity about financies from a banker. Like I wouldn't be shocked other people would fall for this, but a banker believes that this can possibly be a legitimate financial instrument and not a scam?? Maybe those scammers were really really good.
