This is another sadden story again about someone that just supposed not to trade crypto and meme stocks. Trading and investment is not a get rich quick. Meme stocks trading is like gambling. Coins like bitcoin may be promising, but what if you invested at $50000, bitcoin price now at $30000. Bitcoin will get to all-time-high but not good to use the money that is not yours.
Unfortunately I don't see the whole story about bitcoin being traded but rather crypto and memes, from past experience memes are trash coins with no future potential. That's why this story is far less tragic than most stories involving trading using bitcoins. The biggest mistake of this story cannot be separated from knowledge in the crypto space, so the decision to choose memes and other cryptos is not based on knowledge in analyzing the potential of the chosen coin.
It has never been advised to trade using money that is not ours and sometimes we have to pay attention to volatility every time we try to use other people's money to trade, even if you try to use bitcoin using other people's money.
As for trading, not that it is not a get rich quick, but you should use the money that you can afford to lose. The man may wanted to return that money, but crypto and meme stock trading landed him in prison.
Wealth will always be proportional to the ability of the capital you have, wealth also needs a process to be achieved and trading is not always able to guarantee profits every time because talking about volatility. It is important to understand that meme coins are trash and have no future, so anyone who wants to trade should try to avoid them.
