About 4 years ago I met a friend as part of the Ghost network's initiative to explore different social media networks within the Destiny community.
He was an admin of one of the largest Destiny clubs.
Used to be a "tryhard" but he had a stroke... which required a hole in his throat, and he now suffers from cognitive and physical issues.
I've helped him from time to time, and I try to make time to grind more casual stuff with him.
He's my friend. Full stop. I don't see him as a charity case or burden, I've never asked for nor would accept any compensation for my help. Not from him or anyone.
I warned him frequently about using a recovery. He assured me that he would only use family members OR people he completely trusted.
I got a message this morning, turns out... that trust was misplaced.
He lost everything. Everything was wiped.
I think I know who it is. They were his friend for eight years!
They've been on the mic with him, they know about his disability and issues.
What can I do? Nothing without risking my account.
So, this is a cautionary tale... DON'T give your account information to ANYONE EVER!
