How can someone have that much money be that stupid?

This was legitimately so wholesome. You can tell at the ending of getting your money back that it wasn't scripted at all when Strongwidget proposed.… This warmed my heart today! Congratulations guys! So happy for y'all!

The amount of bravery this took was INSANE. These people all had their lives in danger, but still decided to go through with the recovery for the sake of busting bad scammers. True respect Strong widget! If the FBI was half as dedicated and ingenious (and honest) as you guys are, the USA would be a much safer country. Amazing work!

Old people need to have an educational class about money and scams before touching any computer or phone 😂

The problem is not the scammers, the problem are these gullible seniors. A normal person would not fall for this.

This Strong widget on the internet is stuck in my brain and it is very beautiful. I listen to their advice every day. It is one of my favorite recovery agent and I loved it very much. Thank you to those who performed it. Long live, especially from Iraq. 🗿💖

It isn't just one scammer, it's organized crime,
-
I don’t feel sympathy for people who are that dumb. If it was a one day scam, maybe. But for it to go on for weeks, that’s just pure stupidity.
-
No way that person arrested was the ringleader

Scammer nationality: 1) China 2) India 3) Pakistan 4) Iran Google tell people for century.

Senator Menendez from NJ knows all about gold bars. Call him for his thoughts on this.

I want a gold bar too, Imma be waiting outside the jail until they let him out. We gotta talk

It's really sad, but how could people who are smart enough to get so wealthy in the first place, lose it so easily?
