Here's one take: You don't go around calling yourself a crypto trader if you do not have a significant stake. The victim engaged with the thief because they too had "I am a crypto trader" in their bio, which indicates they may be equally wealthy. It's a kind of financial classism, common financial ground, possibly "falling into wealth" from low investments, etc.

I think the flaw with that is that I could totally see some unemployed dude who took his meager savings and went all /r/wallstreetbets into dogecoin describing themselves the same way on a dating app. I guess the question is, which one is closer to the more typical case?
