Likely only person here who singularly started an info web site in 1995 and ran it straight through for 18+ years, increasing traffic and content each month. Also...made a profit every year from Day One. Many careers - all working for myself.
Cory, NJ Guy here...didn't you vote for something which has to do with Crypto?
Crypto should be as illegal as terrorism....400,000 slaves are currently taking 1 Trillion a year from folks...in US, it's 8X all robberies and burglaries put together.
Have the Dems declared a National Emergency?
May 25, 2025 at 8:39 PM
Dick, the very basics. US Crypt Scams are already 8X the total amount of ALL robberies and burglaries in the USA..including all Bank Robberies, etc.
Imagine that! It's a true national emergency yet Government has largely declared "Hands off". white collar crime.
May 25, 2025 at 8:36 PM
This is water over the dam already - and it's so big that most folks can't wrap their minds around it. The US Government has declared open season on our elders, the weak (in mind), etc - just the Cryptoscam part is approaching 30 BILLION dollars per year.

Could you repeat that in plain english? Only the words "nobody" and "is" are understandable.

Are you suggesting that the DOJ did NOT do away with the teams that investigated crytoscams as well as other white collar crimes - and said, out loud, they are taking focus off this?

Found a great new ride for my New England area - cost me 1/2 to 1/3rd of new and is in perfect shape.
Looking forward to cruising the bike paths and the hill and mountain roads.

The Magnitude of innocent Americans (scams) being taken using Crypto is much more (4 to 6X more) than ALL bank robberies, house robberies and burglaries put together!
That's quite an accomplishment considering how much less crypto there is!
May 4, 2025 at 2:57 PM
I took a minute to look up best sellers....not sure which are Men, but we surely can't say they dominate the list(s).
What I think we need is more female and minority historians and so on.....

Hello. I am dedicating the next years of my life to helping educate about scammers, especially crypto scammers - who target innocent folks. Many have already had their life savings stolen. My URL is craigsfire.com and 100's are already downloading my white papers and reading my articles. Pls link
April 30, 2025 at 2:48 PM
It's only 99% Scams so let's look at the other 1% -

Strangely enough, younger people are losing much more than Seniors - 2025 estimates are for a total of 30 Billion lost in the USA. It's a national emergency - I am trying to educate with white papers, etc. - craigfire.com - note, only 37% of scams are reported (LE figures). Note image attached.
April 30, 2025 at 1:59 PM
30 Billion this year and we'll constantly get stories - ALL of them likely not adding up to even a few percent of just the INCREASE over last year. We already are dealing with an 15X increase over 2018-2019.

My New Crusade is attempting to educate and help people. In the US, the DOJ rolled back all white collar crime and consumer protection LE and investigations. They "like" that sorta stuff.......check out white papers and other stuff.
craigsfire.com - This is a massive national emergency.
April 28, 2025 at 9:41 PM
The new breed of scammers are real professionals. These are not your Nigerian Princes on Craigslist.
They know how to take advantage of every single human weakness and are willing to spend a year or more on a single scam.
Reading some of these - is so strange. Elders are addicted.
April 28, 2025 at 9:36 PM
8 Million, eh? It probably cost them 8 million to bust it. Here are some more telling stats.
30 Billion. Vastly more than all robberies and burglaries put together. Some articles are craigsfire.com
April 28, 2025 at 9:25 PM
Very simple. This Admin is making billions themselves off white collar crime of all types - so they largely decriminalized it. Meanwhile, it is a national emergency and creating vast worldwide slavery and human trafficking.....
craigsfire.com has some articles. Look at these stats! Amazing.
April 28, 2025 at 9:18 PM
Uh, the amounts of crypto back then, let alone all the tools for easier scammer, were a tiny fraction of what they are today - perhaps 1 or 2% of the scamming was going on then.
So, sure.....no one would understand it since it wasn't happening. Look at today, tho!
April 28, 2025 at 9:16 PM
All one needs to do is look at the US Crypto Scam numbers - which Trump and the admin is now a part of!
Life savings of families - grandparents, etc.----sucked away by human trafficking. Look at the amts-and LE spending!

Tragic!

15+ years back (camera was 20+ years old)....you could do a decent job with 5 MP.....this is about 3 MP taken my me, a complete beginner (ignorant of camera settings, etc.) in photog...in fact, I still am such.
April 28, 2025 at 5:52 PM
Pelican on takeoff!
April 28, 2025 at 5:42 PM
30 Billion in 2025 -
"Americans lost $16.6 billion to scammers in 2024, FBI says" - only 37% of Crypt-scams are reported. Amounts have gone up by at least 50% per year.
It is now 8X more than all robberies and burglaries put together.
craigsfire.com for white papers, etc. - see attached for compare
April 28, 2025 at 2:04 AM
Look at the size of Cryto-scams in relation to all other robberies and burglaries. I think the matter of scale is relevant.
April 28, 2025 at 2:01 AM
Propoganda for 15 years - meanwhile, it only really started (the major scamming) in 2018 and it is up 1000% since. It would hard to crypto scam when BTC was low in value! Now it involved human trafficking and slavery of thousands.
We see people regularly losing life savings. Is that fake? No!
April 28, 2025 at 2:00 AM
Uh "Americans lost $16.6 billion to scammers in 2024, FBI say" - mostly crypto. Only 37% are reported - estimated 30 Billion in 2025, driven by slavery and human trafficking.
I have 45 years experience....would say I've "dove in and learned"
Fed Gov is PRO_SCAM - glad to teach you tho. Ask!
April 28, 2025 at 1:56 AM
30 BILLION projected for 2025 - Government is deeply involved. I am on a true crusade about this....DOJ fired (moved) entire consumer protection...from scams...dept.
Also, tech corps are allowing it. How big it is....relatively? See image attached. Read craigsfire.com - spread the world, pls!
April 28, 2025 at 1:54 AM
2025 figure is closer to 30 Billion. Here is the math.
"Americans lost $16.6 billion to scammers in 2024, FBI says" - the increases are over 50% per year. BUT, these are REPORTED cases...like rapes, most scams not reported.
est - 37% are reported.
