    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.
