My feelings go out to you. I'm very sorry to your loss. I hope you and your family will be able to recover from this financial blow.
To everybody else:
Please, please do not invest your life's savings in some highly speculative investment opportunity - no matter how great you think that investment opportunity is. Only invest money you can afford to lose.
And please... Do not entrust a company that is industry-renowned for its incompetence with your life's savings.
