It saddens me when I hear about theft in Crypto. You are not dumb, you seem like an honest and honorable person who unfortunately gave someone you thought was a developer your private keys. Karma is a bitch and I hope the person who took your funds would have the decency to return them. A man who cons will one day meet a con far smarter and better and his loss will be far more painful. If one thinks about the banking sector, where theft is a daily activity, and rewards are never granted on merit, where failure by the elite is paid for by the people, and the very people bailed out prey on the poor (with insane credit score bs, outrageous interest, and "fees" galore), crypto was supposed to be more than just "money", it was supposed to level the playing field, take out the leaches and middlemen and put control back in the hands of the people. Unfortunately, it seems the bankers are jumping right into it and peer to peer has become "ICO get rich". The truth is changing the status quo can only come from those with the means and resources to make it happen, do it out of duty, not profit. If we cannot defend those weaker than us and strive for true change, our children may one day pay the price for our blindness and apathy.
