To all of you who are affected by this unfortunate occurrence, I so much share in your pains. I know how you feel and it's your right to feel the way you do 100%.

The truth is that crypto is still a young industry. Like @smithmadu, I used to buy and sale steem/sbd and other coins too. However, my participation didn't last upto 2 months cuz 60% of my portfolio varnished under one night. I parked up and closed shop. Now, if I had traded using people's fund, I believe no one would believe me, and maybe I would have been called names.

So everything is possible in crypto. Things can spill out of control in crypto in such a way that's difficult to add up and impossible for a non trader to believe.

I met the guy in question on this platform and have met him in real life too. And I consider him to be honest. If his intention was to scam, he really doesn't have to explain anything to anyone. All it would take is for him to severe every communication line and quietly relocate. Again, I am not trying to take sides but I am just taking an honest and critical appraisal of the whole situation.

My sympathy goes to those who have never sold a dime from their earnings, and others too who are affected in one way or the other. Please take heart.
