I have nothing positive to say about this article.

I giggled a little at reading it... A dude with way more money than brains is mad that "decenteralized finance" is decenteralized and can do whatever they want?

The guy then admits to losing a quarter of a million; you'd think that'd be enough of a penalty for him to realize that maybe he should take his remaining money out, but nope.

Gee. Who could've imangined that there's logical reasons for most financial regulations?

This reads entitled and aggressive.

There are lots of people with a lot of money in the old banking system who are not tech savvy. They are routinely defrauded and affected by 3rd party fraud. Still, it doesn't warrant labeling them as "having more money than brains".

In the case of the article, this is someone who had some money in a centralized exchange (AAVE) which was hacked by a bad actor, and then the breadcrumbs were traced to the sanctioned TornadoCash accounts.

Victim shaming is wrong.

Anyone who put money into an obvious scam isn't a victim.

My dad just sent the money form his account on his bank after some scammer called him (saying that he was a bank officer) and convinced him that his bank account was hacked, and he needed to move his money to another account in a different bank. Needless to say, it was all a scam.

Hearing and reading it looks pretty obvious... I do think he is a victim.
