First, I want to clarify that the person mentioned in the title is not Juzuo, mainly because I don't have that much money to get scammed.
The protagonist of the story is an old investor, known online as Datiao.
To be honest, from the perspective of Juzuo, I think Datiao's appearance is quite nice.
According to his account, he entered the circle in 2017, starting with a capital of 20,000 and growing it to 200 million, achieving financial freedom.
In 2021, I met a beautiful woman in a group. From her social media, she seemed rich, good-looking, and capable, which made Datiao's heart flutter.
The beauty said she lost 400,000 in her business, and Datiao immediately transferred 2.5 million USD to her, which instantly conquered her.
However, it also made the beauty determined to extract some money from him, and then she started saying good morning and good night every day, eventually establishing a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
Datiao isn't stupid; he said he wanted to meet the person, but the beauty appeared wearing a mask. After she took off the mask, Datiao was completely stunned, to use his own words:
Originally weighing 200 pounds, he lost weight down to 120 pounds before meeting, yet the ugliness couldn't be hidden even with a mask.
200 pounds scammed 200 million; 1 pound of meat can be worth 1 million!
But in order not to hurt the other party's feelings, he still maintained contact.
Datiao said that this is because they talked for a long time and developed feelings.
However, the subsequent events became quite absurd. In fact, the scam isn't complicated, but Datiao was clearly fooled, and he got a bit high, eventually getting scammed out of 200 million.
This matter was summarized by Nangong Yuan; just look at the picture below:
Honestly, this matter is quite jaw-dropping. On one hand, the scam is rather mundane, and on the other, this scam actually lasted for two years.
From 2022 to last July, a full two years. I truly admire how Datiaozi managed to endure such a group of vampires clinging to him.
In metaphysical terms, this is encountering a ghost.
The reason Datiao encountered such a situation and was enchanted is actually related to his own growth trajectory.
After watching the video, Juzuo could see that Datiao's heart is very soft, and he speaks quite gently. Although he has good abilities and luck, he is still a people-pleasing personality.
From a normal person's perspective, who would first transfer 2.5 million USD to someone else?
Still in a situation where you haven't met?
Moreover, after meeting, knowing clearly that the other party is extremely unattractive and not within his aesthetic range, he could still care about her feelings and continue the conversation?
If it were me, I would have reported her for fraud long ago. Damn, can there be any follow-up?
And it's precisely because Datiao showed strong financial power and had a relatively soft personality that, from their perspective:
Since you flaunt wealth and are foolish, it would be a shame not to make the most of you.
Thus, a two-year-long chain scam began.
All their means are continuously deceiving money from Datiao, and sometimes their excuses are so poor that a simple phone call could expose them.
But Datiao didn't; on one hand, he felt he was rich and didn't lack money, on the other hand, he trusted this aunt.
Although he has money, he doesn't quite understand the rules of social operation and was fooled by others.
Find a lawyer, and you won't have any problems later. Juzuo summarizes some observations on Datiao being scammed and reminds friends who have made big money:
1. The old saying goes, wealth should not be displayed; Datiao flaunts wealth and will inevitably provoke jealousy. Especially among crypto enthusiasts, it's best to hide wealth, and don't even let others know you're in the crypto circle for safety.
2. Money is for women to see, not for them to spend. What you can't obtain is the rarest; it's the same for both men and women. Women know you have money and can't get your money, so they will try their best to provide emotional value to get your money. Datiao's relationship experiences seem not rich; he thinks that to women, he just needs to give them money, but in your case, being schemed against really leads to both loss of money and heartbreak.
3. You must have a lawyer friend. If you're already in the crypto circle and have made money, why wouldn't you hire a legal expert? Some lawyer friends can solve many problems beyond your understanding at critical times. They understand the law and the operation of social rules much better than you do. Since money can solve things, why would you use your own body to bear it?
4. Guarding wealth, still guarding wealth. It's actually quite hard to make money in the current market. After making money, you can spend it, spend boldly, but it's best to spend that money on yourself to enhance your perception of the world, to elevate your status, to reach a new balance between status and wealth. If you earn a lot of money, don't think about replicating it; always tell yourself that this is the luck you've spent a lifetime to earn. You've moved past needing high odds; what's left is to live a stable life, don't needlessly stir things up.
5. Detachment. This is also a philosophy that Juzuo has been practicing since last year, and so far it has been quite effective, focusing on consuming others without exhausting oneself. You will find that you don't need that many friends, or even that much money, to achieve inner harmony. Once a person has money, a lot of chaotic people appear around them; at this time, it is important to calm down, avoid entangling with the fate of others, and maintain a good operational mechanism.
In fact, most people in the crypto world may not be immune to scams either. Most are focused on the industry, trying every way to make money; some may not earn money, but many who do, end up making money for others.
Either being scammed by friends around him, blindly trusting others to be deceived, spending extravagantly, or ultimately paying fines.
In reality, there are far fewer people who can truly guard their wealth.
Money comes fast, and naturally, it leaves just as quickly.
So everyone, take Juzuo's advice: if you can guard your wealth, just hold on to it.
How much you earn doesn't matter; what matters is how much you can keep in your pocket. Don't end up like Datiao, giving all your money to others, making it hard for yourself to deal with them.
