Just Said Yes November 2024

Help!!! do i have to postpone my Wedding??

My younger brother sold the Chevrolet truck our dad got him for his 18th birthday last year, we initially agreed he was going to help with getting things in place for my wedding dated for some time in November, he told me he was going to invest in some business so that would yield more profit overtime but I was too busy to pay attention to what type of investment it was. Unfortunately he was scammed, out of desperation to recuperate what he lost, he reached out to the Blockchain fraud investigation unit(BFIU) after several reports to the state authorities but nothing was done. At first I was skeptical to reach out to these guys because I’ve seen a lot of post that says you can’t recover whatever you have lost through crypto but since they were recommended by someone we trust and I had seen something related on a building product search website, we had to go for it. We reached out to the team via their fully written bfiu outlook email address and got a response, they asked for the details of the Scam and show of proof that they’ll be partnering with us to get on the case for legal purposes. After we provided everything they needed, they reached out that they’ve been able to track the transaction history of the scammers, also they might be able to recover some money from them since the scammers hadn’t withdrawn everything from the wallet. After a few weeks of constant updates from the team , we were able to recover 65% of his money back. Fast forward to earlier this week, he got a mail from the team that he has to disable or transfer his funds from that particular wallet because they’ve been monitoring the activities of the wallet and they can see it had been compromised by the same IP address related to the scam wallet that his money was recovered from initially and it would be wise to move it to a more secure account. at this point i'm not sure if i still want to continue with the initial date because there is so much going on and its overwhelming already, i need help/suggestions from the house. please what would you advice i do?

    Just do the wedding on time. You will lose more by rescheduling everything. Plus this seems to be your brother's error for going blindly into crypto. If you stay out of crypto, then you also avoid the scammers and the scam solutions to get your crypto back. There is no way to know if those who offer to get your crypto back are in any way trustworthy.

    If you’re getting married in November, that is less than 1.5 months away. If that’s the case, I’m assuming everything is already planned, vendors have already been hired, everything has already been paid for, and your guests have already made arrangements to attend. I don’t see why you would need to reschedule at this point. You would just lose a ton of money.
