4. Lesson learned.
Give him 10% and step 4 is not going to happen.

It sems hard to get honest people interested in bitcoin; but every scammer and crook in the world who learns a bit about bitcoin imemdiately falls in love with it.  Why risk going to jail stealing credit cards, or selling bogus insurance by mail, when they can scam bitcoiners and steal bitcoins, with no worse risk than having their (probably fake) identity exposed and execrated on some obscure forum?

If bank robbers could get off the hook by returning 90% of their loot, or even 150% but only on 50% of their attempts, there would be no banks.
