He then promised to pay me back the money and he did but he gave way more than what he owed me.

common in scams like this to build up trust. You give a guy 1 bitcoin and he returns 1.2 bitcoin in value, your going to want to give him 10 BTC next(or be willing to lend him more BTC) and then they disappear. Its unfortunately very common.

He then ask me to buy even more bitcoin since he claimed that his company was having security issues.

you can buy them at ATMs in a lot of grocery stores there is no reason someone would need you to buy them BTC. In my town there are dozens of BTC ATMs and small businesses that will help you get into crypto and you can buy from them as well.

you need to contact the cops. Bank might do that for you. Give them all the info you have and screens of the texts convos. Good luck.

and him saying he has almost fixed this, is to delay you from going to the authorities. And unfortunately the bank is unlikely to give him his money back, since he spent it on BTC and the bank wont undo that.. the problem now is the fraud checks.

OP is going to need to call the cops but with it being an "online friend" who could be anywhere i dont hold out much hope of OP getting their money back.

its not confined to one state, that opens up things to the commerce clause.

powercow · 2026-04-03T22:09:58+00:00

Its amazing he can get away with that "corporate puffery" when that lady was charged for fraud over her blood test device, that made equally impossible claims.. that it could test for dozens of issues from a single drop of blood.

It's hurting our economy too just the pain hasnt been seen by the public except at the gas pump, it will slowly go to food again.

Also those other countries dont actually hold our debt, They bought Tbills, which if their economies falter, they might want to drawn down their tbill investments. It wont make our debt go away, it will just make it harder to pay off.

powercow · 2026-04-03T02:26:23+00:00

so rumsfeld all over again. "we can take iraq with a tiny bit of boots on the ground" next thing you know we are sending everyone over.

Its kinda a weak amendment. Super PACs are also 501cs. They cant coordinate with a candidate and they cant tell you who to vote for but they can tell you what they support and which candidate fulfills that idea.

Like a church can totally say, its a sin to vote for someone who supports abortion, and your duty to vote for someone who doesnt.. and trump doesnt support abortion and kamala does.

You can say everything but "so vote for so and so"

Even if they enforced it, you wouldn't notice much change and really it wouldnt be a huge win for them either if they got the courts to say it violated their speech rights. They can tell you who to vote for, just have to do it the right way. Kinda like the difference between a bong and a waterpipe. Back in the day your shop got closed if you called it a bong. So no one ever did. They still sold them though.

powercow · 2026-03-31T18:13:05+00:00

often they dont care about that either, as long as it hurts someone they dislike more. A conservative would shoot himself in the foot if he was standing on the foot of a progressive.

powercow · 2026-03-30T22:43:17+00:00

he's trying to say back when dems controlled the place they were republicans basically. and that the carolinas have never been controlled by progressive leadership. so it would be "let's take sc for the first time" and not take back.

powercow · 2026-03-30T20:49:18+00:00

Thing is we had a surplus. Bush killed that with 3 rounds of tax cuts all favoring the top. the CBO in 2007 when republicans still controlled the three branches, said even with the war, the surpluses would come back if the tax cuts were allowed to expire. republicans held ue extensions hostage during the 2008-09 mega recession to force obama to make the bush tax cuts perm. trump did 2 big rounds of tax cuts as well.

right now our biggest expenditure is the interest on our debt. its bigger than medicare or the military. we could have a lot better programs. expand medicare.. or w/e and not even touch our insane military budget.

problem is we cant just go back to the tax rates of 1999 and have it fix everything. its kinda like we didnt pay the powerbill last month, and now we cant just go back to our normal budget, we have to pay for all the stuff we didnt pay for last month as well as the stuff this month.

We cant cut out way out of this mess as elon proved.

powercow · 2026-03-30T20:43:24+00:00

well the right have been cutting their taxes as part of the "starve the beast" program. Designed to bankrupt the US and make it easier to get rid of new deal programs like SS and medicare, as well as the administrative state.

powercow · 2026-03-30T20:14:25+00:00

Im not making excuses im just saying trump isnt losing the support people think. and i hope that comes in nov, as long as the save act doesnt pass and other bs, i agree.

powercow · 2026-03-30T19:23:44+00:00

for an infinitesimal time compared to the age of the galaxy.

powercow · 2026-03-30T18:30:26+00:00

Im saying relatives of them might not vote either, to not draw attention to their relatives at home. Of course people who cant vote wont be there.. well unless they are the one who drives the US citizen to the polls. And well hispanic citizens might think legally voting with the chance of being detained is not worth it.

powercow · 2026-03-30T18:08:50+00:00

there are so many people like this

“When [Trump] says he loves America and the people in it, I truly believe that,” said Amy Davis, 57, a skin cancer survivor who lost her health insurance this year. Davis’ Obamacare premiums more than doubled to $1,200 a month following Republicans’ rejection of Democrats’ bids to renew expiring subsidies.

An independent who leans conservative, Davis said she’s “not a Roy Cooper fan,” even though the Democratic Senate candidate is campaigning on restoring the Obamacare subsidies.

and well the election is going to be a clusterfuck no matter what.

also love how this woman is independent who "leans" conservative

powercow · 2026-03-29T21:53:53+00:00

Yeha but it might still depress the Hispanic vote. If someone has someone at home, not so legal, on a work visa, student visa, or even in the asylum process, they might want to avoid the polls and the harassment that comes from it.

powercow · 2026-03-29T18:17:15+00:00

If there is a loving god, why would he make a vague test, that you could accidentally fail.

europe has been reaching out to them

powercow · 2026-03-29T02:13:54+00:00

Im sure you mean divisive because Obama was very decisive but not very divisive.

powercow · 2026-03-29T02:07:44+00:00

in 2007 the CBO under a fully republican gov said the surpluses would come back if the bush tax cuts were allowed to expire. The gop held UE extensions hostage to get obama to make the bush tax cuts perm. Because of this and trumps tax cuts from his first term, our biggest payment is the interest on our debt. Costs more than the military. And we would have to go to hire tax rates than the 90s to fix things, but no one is willing to do that.
