    Be careful folks, very careful. Digital currency isn't covered by the FDIC or anyone else.

    So many questions pop into my head. It's not often you hear of older people with large crypto accounts. I have doubts that this story is just a simple con job. An 84 year old women with that much money in crypto seams odd. I think it's just as likely that a grandchild conned her.

    If you have that much money in crypto wouldn't you be savvy enough to have a secure wallet to hold it rather than an exchange account? Strange.

    I'll agree with all of the statements. The most important aspect, it's not insured, etc.
    You're totally on your own, it's not backed by any government in the world, at all.
