I think this is a very important topic to discuss, as it shows the challenges and risks that some people face when dealing with cryptocurrencies. I feel sorry for the woman who was harassed and I hope she is okay. I think those dealers are not safe, as they may attract unwanted attention from the authorities or criminals who want to steal their coins. I think the fate of physical cryptocurrency exchanges depends on the legal and regulatory framework of each country, as well as the level of awareness and acceptance of the public.
I would like to say this, if you know the laws of your country does not work out well for Crypto activities why expose yourself to such situations all in the name of p2p when you fully know that it is very risky to do so. Do you know if that was a set up against her? Nobody knows and the security agents that caught her would pass charges against her if truly Crypto trading is a crime in the country.
One needs be careful on how they enteract When they know the law does not favor Crypto in their various countries.
