Not only are they difficult to catch, but when they are caught, they usually receive some minimal punishments that motivate others to try the same as them. If someone has the idea that he can steal millions of $, and get away with a couple of years in prison and then go out and enjoy his treasure, then he will do it.

The human moral compass has been completely disturbed in the last 20-30 years, because before it was a shame if you did something bad and ended up in prison, and today people in the highest positions in society end up in prison and young people obviously don't see anything bad in that.

When this matter gets discussed, it's going to focuse more about crypto as a medium for this theft  while neglecting the aspect of how inhumane our generation have become and can steal from an aged person without having a sense of remorse.

We’re living in a dangerous world where those without the knowledge are easy targets for scams. It’s human nature to be greedy, but some people take it too far, not even thinking about how their success comes at the cost of someone else’s suffering. Just like in the story - what happened to our humanity? We’re supposed to be humans, not animals. We should have the heart to care for others. Love is God, right?

This story is truly heartbreaking, knowing that a 72-year-old woman lost her entire life savings and inheritance, totaling $224,000, to crypto scammers. They used a deepfake video of Christopher Luxon, the New Zealand Prime Minister, to lure her in. She got interested and responded, which is where things took a dark turn. A scammer, pretending to be Adam Manolas, who claimed to be an expert investment adviser, convinced her to open accounts with Easy Crypto and Binance. She thought her Bitcoin was safe in her Binance wallet, but instead, it was sent to an account controlled by the scammers. Once they emptied her savings, they even took funds that were meant for her grandchildren. In one of their last calls, she overheard him say, "This woman has no money."

It's painful to see how these scammers target older people, especially those who aren't tech-savvy and are more vulnerable to these tricks. I can't even begin to imagine how our granny feels after losing everything she worked for and inherited. Some might find it too much to handle and could even consider taking their own lives because of it. These scammers are truly cruel, and they deserve to rot in hell.

Her message really shows the deep pain she's endured with her experience.

A woman at the age of 74 should have kept her life savings in the bank or invested in some other property especially land or gold. In my view, the only thing a 74-year-old woman should do is put money in the bank and focus on spending the rest of her life well at night. But the woman instead went to invest in cryptocurrency which was the biggest mistake of her age.  Moreover, this woman should have taken advance precautions as he might cheat on her.
