2.Can you provide any proof that you friend's story is real? The story could be real(there's a lot of rich people spending absurd amounts of money on crypto trading), but it could also be fake.
3.If the story is real, your friend's friend had the best job ever- Managing rich and bored people's money. I don't know how he got rich people to send him big amounts of money just like that. This sounds too good to be true. Did he convince them via Telegram group chats or something.

this topic has the feels that the OP is the ex-pump/dumper.. using this topic as his own therapy session. saying outloud the excuses to relieve himself of his guilt
trying to announce to the public that his victims didnt care to lose, tries to attempt to give him therapy of not blaming himself for their loses he caused.
the topic is then just stylised into a story to hide who he is and what he done and the guilt he has by making it sound like a story about someone else
you know. you go to therapy and say to therapist "i got a friend who" where the hypothetical story and friend is a real life experience of the story teller himself
