How were you even able to loan 3 BTC? I offered over a week ago to loan him 2 BTC and he declined it, saying it was too much (I figured 2 BTC was cleaner/easier to deal with than 1.82348923 or whatever it was at the time). It ended up causing me to back out of the deal altogether but I'm curious as to how you were able to invest even more than that.

(He did offer to allow me to do the 2 BTC loan if I were to refer someone else to him that invested... this is what caused me to red-flag it. It made no sense for him to require a second person when his outcome would be exactly the same, unless he wasn't planning to follow through and instead was wanting to lower his "risk" in terms of people pursuing him by negating the value of doing so)
