I feel for anyone who was conned, but I have also managed to steer clear of every get rich quick scheme that has come my way ever since I lost $20 bucks from a three card monte game I found while walking down the street when I was 17 in LA. I remember thinking I was very stupid to think I could get something for nothing. Simple rule-if it was that easy to make money then everyone would be doing it. I am sorry that you had to learn this lesson with larger stakes. Be honest though, didn’t a little voice tell you that something was wrong? I hope you get your money back, I also hope the real crooks get a good long prison sentence and I hope you take away a good ass whooping from it and learn your lesson. Please own your side of it and at least acknowledge that the only thing that put you in jeopardy was your own greed and stupidity.
