This article is loving hilarious.
And people in the comments aren't even denying the problems, they're pathetically attacking him for "talking poo poo about his ex-employer."

I know everyone's weighed in on this, but I'd like to add a very simple alternative which is less likely to get her killed by her unhinged boyfriend:

Tell her to transfer enough bitcoins to her own private, secure wallet to cover the debt and leave everything else alone.

That way, she's not spending the coins, they're still there for the boyfriend to collect when he pays her back* and if he flakes, then she has a chance to get her money back.


Of course, this depends on the boyfriend having done things properly and not simply scammed her by taking six thousand dollars of her money and only pretended to set up a wallet for her which is the most likely scenario.








* Cue uproarious laughter.
I'd still love to see this potential financial argument brought to Judge Judy to hear her take on it.
