So then at that point, I had convinced myself, I was like, I'm pretty sure that this man took this money. And then just wildly, I ended up getting a text from him that same morning. He just said, I've turned myself into the FBI. You can reach out at my email if you have any kind of further questions about this. I don't remember exactly what I said back.

I sent some sort of text message back trying to get a little bit more information. I don't think he ever responded to that. That's when I started trying to just contact whoever I could contact at the state first, because I was like, if he's turned himself in and he was maybe under investigation, there's got to be somebody's working on this case. I ended up talking to somebody.

I basically started telling my story on the phone and she was like, oh, I know exactly who this is. I guess she had gotten some other calls or something or she was just familiar with this case. And so she ended up getting me connected with one of the investigators who had been investigating him.

And then I talked on the phone with her and just kind of had to answer some questions on my experience was like when and how I invested with him, what the process of working him had been. She asked me questions like, if you can't

receive any of these funds back how would that impact your life but nobody ever said to me yes your money was stolen so it's still confusing because it's like obviously it was because he said he's turned himself in and he's not responding to my questions about getting that money back

Talking to the investigator, I don't think she could technically outright say like, yes, your money was taken and here's what we've uncovered. I was very much in the dark from the very beginning about what he could have used that money on, where that money could be, what the chances were that I was going to get the money back.

If the money had even been stolen, which is like a weird thing to say, no one will confirm to you that you have actually been defrauded. You just kind of have to infer it. I had to like send this investigator basically everything that I had, like all of our text messages, email exchanges, screenshots of that portal that I was talking about that I could log into.

Because I guess all of that would have been able to be a part of the investigation and utilized in a case against him. I was assigned a victim's advocate. Okay. I don't remember if that was the exact name, but that's essentially the function. It was wild because I was like, wow, this is I'm getting nothing from this person.
