Client became interested in cryptocurrency in December 2022 and January 2023 and invested in legitimate sites. At the end of January 2023the client requested to liquidate his accounts to invest in NFTS.

When the company names started to change, she questioned him and was told it was the different NFT platforms. All companies were also researched by compliance and found to be listed in the US and not on OFAC. The rep was also told that billionaire investor friends from college were involved that the client did real estate deals for and made them a ton of money. She was told he was receiving statements and had legal contracts drawn up. In April 2023 when he attempted to withdraw his money from the site, he was told he had to pay taxes.
