This is some high level of profiling scam activities that could happen to anybody because I won't want to conclude  that he was greedy neither was he not aware of some amateur scam activities because for him to have held on until this day is a testimony that he must have seen and read about several ways of scamming people out of their hard earned resources. This is pure target operation that they know he had the amount of bitcoin they are looking and because an ordinary individual will not be going every where with mercury light to detect fake currencies.

The take out is for everyone to be more careful as people are getting wiser in the art of robbing you, you also need to be smarter in keeping yourself safe. You don't go about announcing that you are a millionaire just by being lucky to invest at an early period to the shame of those who have worked several years but could not get a fraction of what you have just for that same reason. One need to also carry people close along because the more people you involved in the 'deal' the more likely for you not to get scammed as at least someone might be able to see through and finally, if its too good to be true, its likely to turn out bad.
