The daughter of a billionaire and heir to Thomson Reuters, Taylor Thomson, lost 80,000,000.$ in crypto, following the advice of a psychic and her best friend.
Her friend Ashley Richardson managed Thomson's portfolio worth 140,000,000$ during the bull run of 2021.
But by mid-2022, everything collapsed:
- Losses exceeded 80,000,000$
- Over 450,000 trades without formal authorization.
- 40,000,000.$ invested in the token XPRT, which plummeted from 16.59$ to 0.037$ (−99%).
Thomson sued her friend and the company Persistence, demanding the return of 25 million $
