🧐 Shocking News: A young man in the crypto world made 200 million, only to be scammed out of everything by an aunt, leaving him unable to eat—
I just saw this real and magical story from an old crypto group in the @0xVeryBigOrange chat:
Teacher Da Tao, a post-90s individual, started with 30,000 and built a fortune of 200 million through digital currency,
only to be completely ruined by a “37-year-old divorced mother” who designed a series of traps, leaving him with nothing.
Sounds like a novel?
But those familiar with the crypto ecosystem and human weaknesses will understand that such traps—
are not the first, nor will they be the last!
I. Why did “Da Tao” fall for it?
Let’s first analyze the victim himself.
Da Tao has very typical “labels”:
• Young and financially free, harboring idealistic fantasies about the world;
• Socially naive, lacking real-world experience despite long-term immersion in the crypto space;
• Rapidly became wealthy, with unfinished psychological development and a lack of risk control awareness;
• Kind-hearted, emotionally sensitive, easily empathetic, lacking “fraud immunity”;
• Subconsciously fearful of “punishment mechanisms,” afraid of getting into trouble, afraid of the police, afraid of going to jail.
The scammer team understood this, weaving a perfect web using the seven deadly sins of human nature + fear psychology.
II. What are the steps of the scam? (Each step targets human nature)
1️⃣ “Beauty Opening” — Greed enters, establishing expectations
The female scammer presents herself as a “young, beautiful, rich single mother,” who understands the crypto world, is caring, and has a background, providing comfort. This role is highly damaging to naive men.
It makes you feel like you’re not “dating,” but “looking for someone who understands you.”
2️⃣ “Emotional Sunk Cost” — Making you invest emotionally
Before you are fully invested, the scammer won’t meet you.
She will create a “beautiful persona,” and with occasional small problems, make you feel both pity and compelled to provide financial and emotional support.
The more you give, the harder it is to let go.
A classic sunk cost trap.
3️⃣ “Guided Fear” — Impersonating the law, creating threats
Once you are completely entangled, she throws out the big weapon: “There might be a problem with your account. I have friends in the system who can help you clean it up, avoid risks, and get out.”
At this point, Teacher Da Tao is no longer in a relationship but is fighting for survival.
The scammer will exploit ordinary people's misunderstanding of the judicial system, fabricating various “channels,” “brokers,” and “gray operations,” creating immense pressure and urgency, forcing you to “process” your money repeatedly.
And this “broker” stage is the biggest money-sucking black hole—the part where the scammer truly wants you to empty your assets.
III. Why “200 million”? — Wealth inflation, risk out of control!
You will find that many who become wealthy quickly in the crypto world often fall into such irrational traps.
Because the faster the wealth, the poorer the risk control;
Because their money isn’t earned step by step, but suddenly acquired;
Because they haven’t learned how to combat “greed and fear in human nature.”
For Teacher Da Tao, losing 200 million isn’t just about losing two hundred million, but losing everything after losing judgment.
IV. Insights behind the magic:
Fraud is not an information war; it’s a psychological war. It’s not that you don’t understand technology, but that you don’t understand human nature.
Any relationship that starts with “love, fear, redemption” could be a trap.
Financial freedom ≠ emotional freedom. Just because you can make money doesn’t mean you can understand the situation.
Trust is not built overnight, but being scammed often only takes three days.
Ultimately, this isn’t a gossip about “an aunt scamming a big brother,” but a textbook case of “human nature hacking” in the modern digital society.
As the old saying goes:
“Scammers don’t just steal your money; they steal your inner obsessions.”
What Da Tao lost isn’t money, but his naive trust in the world!
Finally, if anyone has the energy or ideas, how can we help Da Tao with this situation!?
