Wow I cannot believe you would publicly recommend U.S. residents to use VPN's to bypass laws that were designed to protect them...
I think you should open scam accusation thread if you are sure that you are right and leave this thread in peace because this is little annoying for other members to read every second or third post, your story and how you blame @TheQuin for lost deposits.
This thread is self-moderated, I assume, so OP gives you already a lot of freedom and lets you speak freely.
I understand your loss and suggest the thread in scam accusation section because this is the only way to get this case resolved if you provide the needed evidence there and will be able to gather attention from established members.
