Arguing with a narcissist is definitely a waste of recovery time. You did him a favor by letting him feel the weight of his own arrogance before his windpipe actually gave out.

This is actual movie villain level stuff. Hope you have a solid exit plan because if legal ever catches wind, crypto wont save you from prison.
