A great lesson to other cheap Bitcoin scammers Grin

Well from the op the scammer actually got away, the victim lost the case. If we take a look at the source, she woman is definitely a victim, since the money wasn't returned to her, but the story is written in a complex manner, so it is really hard to understand what exactly happened. I guess she was scammed while buying bitcoins and she was put under pressure as a new immigrant, so she feared the threats of deportation for not paying taxes. So, I guess someone just told her to put money into btc atm and send bitcoins to the address (supposedly, to pay taxes), but it was all a scam. I think it's unfair that she lost the case, because threats and a person pretending to be from authorities sound like crime to me. She'd probably get her money back if it was all in fiat, and discriminating cryptos like that is cruel.
