Losing tens of thousands of dollars that doesn’t belong to you is dumb on a level I have difficulty comprehending. It is possible that without a loving and wealthy family OP will be made a Darwin victim. As they say, play dumb games and win dumb prizes. Gambling borrowed money has to be expected to turn out like this.
When Bitcoin Savings & Loan disappeared, I lost my funds along with everyone else. I had no special relationship with pirate. I was trying to protect users from losing everything if he disappeared, which I did successfully and everyone I interacted with was satisfied. I believe my PMs were even subpoenaed at one point (can't remember if it was just for MtGox or pirate@40 or both) further proving my innocence of any wrongdoing.
Ouch.
