An advice on potential investment

[ytterligare]

Hello there, hope this is the right place...just in case, moderator please feel free to move the post wherever best fitting.

One of my best friends, if not my best friend, gave a fraction of a BTC to a well known Twitter /Telegram trading advice group owner, in order to have it invested where it was best.

This trader was giving a dividend every week or a choice of reinvest the BTC, and ahe surely did since when requested, the dividend was sent, I've been told.

After few months however, the trading has slowed down, and he was told that the marked was not good in that moment....in the meanwhile my friend which is need to have his money back, decided to go out the group and have his investment ( a bit more than what invested initially ) back.

At that point, the messages sent on Telegram were not read anymore ( probably blocked ) and only a message on twitter caught one of his collaborator friend's attention.

This collaborator put him in contact with the Group owner/trader and was promised to have the btc back shortly....instead he had another "dividend" but not the deposit back.

Every attempt to contact him or the collaborator on Telegram or Twitter is unread, but the trading advice group is there flourishing with thousands of members.

I'm not good with twitter so I'm seeking advice on how to help him, as I feel a little guilty since I did not  discouraged him to invest  in such way...

Someone can please give advice on how to use the social media to attempt to get the money back ? He has all the speech in twitter and Telegram saved, in which the trader asked confirmation for the refund and after positive reply, no answer at all...

Thank you !

Oh, boy. So many things wrong with this. 

Sounds heavily like a scam... I'm sorry but that money is long gone.

Never give away your crypto to anyone... you got no control of them what so ever when they left your wallet. Want trading help ? Buy into some of the groups for advice instead.

That money is gone.  When handling your own crypto or fiat you should make decisions under the complete assumption that 99% of the crypto scene is out to rob you blind.  Remember, there are few if any laws and zero regulation.  This is in addition to the fact that your friend gave his private keys away to someone else randomly on the internet.  That's like dropping a $100 bill into the mail without knowing who or where it's going and now he wants it back.

I can see a dark scenario here. Usually when someone mentions a friend, it is mainly for 2 reasons.

1. To verify the truth in what is stated.
2. The friend mentioned is in fact . . .  the person himself.

If number 2, I say Ouch and Ouch and Ouch.

This is not a mistake, this is being ultimately stupid. How dumb could a person be in order to give  an unknown entity his or hers crypto assets? I made a lot of mistakes in my life, planty, tons, but this is in a different galaxy of being dumb and careless. If this person or group knew how to invest , they wouldn’t have to take other people’s crypto, he could do it alone and become rich. 

This was a red flag parade from the start .

You can’t even call it a scam, scam is usually well camouflaged, this was just a hamster trap.

Ahaha. 

“Hello Dr, so I am calling on behalf of my friend, he had unprotected sex, and now has something on his *****, what should tell him to do”

Dr “tell your friend, that I will see him on Monday at 9:30 am, room number 22. P.S. I will be taking blood samples, so do not eat or drink the night prior to visiting me.”

Imagine you looking down from a great height - how does that feel?  That superiority.  Must be grand.

There’s nothing superior about having basic survival instincts

A simple answer, nobody can help him now. 

Even banks can’t help a person if he gives his private information to someone, it doesn’t matter how good and secure an account is. If you willingly gave what is yours, the answer is always the same “sorry, we can’t help you, be more careful with sensitive information about your account “. And we all know that banking scam and spam is far more advanced than any crypto, and still the banks can’t provide you with a solution if you were not careful and let them fool you by giving codes, sending messages to unknown numbers, opening every window on internet, using your card details on every web store, and so on. Nobody will bring his money back, simply because they are not obligated to, even if they could.  Of course you could try cyber police or something like that , but highly doubt anything could be done now.

Thank you all people, so much info, and of course some misunderstanding...but that’s probably because my lack of knowledge in English language.

- No private key was given, he did send the trader a fraction of a BTC to his wallet in order to be reinvested. For a certain amount of weeks that worked and the revenue was sent back, honestly almost covering initial investment.

- as I said the trader is a private which owns a free trading advice group with 27.000 members, and he is very well known. He also has some paying group.

He’s not a ghost, but definitively he’s not replying back since half January, nor his aid has as well, I’ve been told.

my target was to have suggestion on how to use a media like Twitter to get his attention, since bad reputation could be a problem for him.

We’re not disclosing his nickname or twitter account for the moment, because..well, because my friend is patient and thinks it is better to “raise the bar” progressively as he said....as soon as the money is back, his business is his business, and he’s not gonna messing anymore with him.

‘any advice on how to use Twitter with the most efficiency to get lot of people and catch the attention ?

tnx.
