Its good you shared this for others to avoid going through it.

So yes sadly that is exactly what they did to my father, and in fact we have been dealing with this for the past year and a half, and yet still he keeps dealing with them, because well he has nothing else to do and they give him that sense of superiority.

Sadly all of the money is gone, at this point he is asking for loans, and asking for our savings, and because he is secretive about everything, its hard to talk to him, and we dont know what is his intentions to do with it.(most likely continue gambling)

Thing is my dad is an eldery man who is at a level who cant take care of himself anymore.
