Wow.
But he got home.
Well, okay is a relative term.
He got out, you know, he is free and that's huge.
There were times when I really was terrified that he was going to die inside that room, inside the compound.
He made it out, but he's traumatized and has survivors, guilts.
I didn't say this, but there was a moment too in his darkest hours of thinking he might die in the compound that he confessed to me that he had scammed two people, one for just $500, one for $11,000.
And he has enormous guilt about that too.
He is a very depressed and traumatized person.
For years, I've just been baffled that U.S.
law enforcement hasn't taken this more seriously on behalf of just like American victims losing their life savings to these scammers.
I think that there was this kind of a terrible approach from law enforcement like, well, you know, you fell for the scam.
You sent them the money.
They didn't steal it or something like that.
There was this kind of victim blaming mentality, like this is not the most serious form of cybercrime, when in fact it clearly is in terms of the sheer number of American Western lives that it's ruining.
But now we are starting to see the U.S.
government pay attention to this problem.
We see like a.
focus on protecting Americans from scammers.
There was just last week a hearing in the Senate about this where the FBI and other law enforcement were kind of held to account about what are you doing to address this problem.
