I lost my best friend and $454,000 in crypto

in #anarchy7 years ago (edited)

This is me and my best friend, TJ Page. He is from Ann Arbor, MI and we became friends through a friend who connected us. We hit it off great since we shared the concept of shamanism AND libertarianism. Two concepts that 7 years ago were not even remotely connected by many, especially in the mainstream.

TJ would become my shamanic teacher and helped me tremendously understanding botany and some realms of consciousness, even during sessions I would take. Theo and I would counsel each other on a number of things, from love, relationships, money, and crypto, which I basically had to twist his arm to get into years ago. He was about two years older than me and fulfilled that role of brother I did not really have since my own brother is 15 years older than me and was more like a second father to me.

He is in fact a strong influence for me to also be in the Mitragyna Speciosa market, that has allowed me to help hundreds of people and pull in a little side cash.

At some point, after the M. Speciosa sales were getting good, I asked him to help me out by saving some money for me so a) it was not in my reach to spend, and; b) my wife would not know about it and would not find a purpose for said extra money. He agreed wholeheartedly and I would send him about a thousand dollars a month for several months. He diversified us into ETH, LTC, and other coins and he got inspired to make good gains as he saw how what I sent him was growing like weeds.

Theo had retired from selling M.Speciosa at age 34 and was basically just traveling the world and surfing in Jaco, Costa Rica. The last time I saw him was when he came to my birthday party in June and then he went to Jaco again, where he died from an overdose. When I heard the news coming from his girlfriend, I felt destroyed and cried like I have not done it in a long time. I had lost my best friend, the guy I would text with daily and call on a regular basis and meet to share life. This man was gone forever!!! As soon as I got off the phone with his gf, I called his mom and we both cried and shared a moment. I still have connections with TJ's parents and text with them often.

If you have kept up with this post, you'll realize the fact that my story has a double whammy... I lost my best friend AND our mutual crypto fund worth a lot of money. This is in reality a difficult talk to have with you all. At the expense of looking like a bum I will ask for your help to get back any of that hard earned money if you feel like chipping in.

This money is what has been helping me do my activism without having to ask for money... This money has been what allows me to travel and do presentations at conferences because the vast majority of them do not pay. This is really to help me continue my activism and focus on it greatly as I have for the last 7 years or so.

Thank you for reading and for your generosity

Wow, you need to prove these kind of stories or claims...do not donate until a death certificate is shown. Once that shows up I will remove my flag and donate!

If you knew me and followed me for a while you'd know about how I roll...that I would not make this shit up.
I cannot come up with a certificate with such short notice but i can share some correspondence i have had with TJ's parents. Kinda sad world where one has to prove to strangers...

Other stuff I can share if interested is a call i recorded with a channeling medium to connect with him since it was such a rough death.

you ask from strangers you have to prove to strangers... life happens as it happens... you cannot control it

Flag removed and thanks - condolences.

Thanks for removing the flat, @greenman. And thanks for your donation.

are qr codes ok? or would you like addresses?

Any chance you can contact his family and try to get the money back? It seems like if you can prove it they would let you try.

Right. Also, the emails where the deal was struck might constitute a legal contract - and could be forwarded to whoever is making arrangements for the estate.

I have asked mum. Computer was not found in Costa Rica :(

I don't think you need the computer you just need the 12 words.

Do you have any evidence that the money you sent was used to buy crypto? The transactions are all public.

It could have been on a phone or tablet? Sounds like you have some investigative work to do if you want to recover that.

at times i sent him crypto and others paypal. surely the crypto sent is easier to track.

I am very sorry for your great loss @emancipatedhuman.
I can just imagine what a difficult time you were dealing with when everything was dark, but I'm glad you stood strong and are fighting back my friend and I wish you all the best.
Great picture, it must be pretty special.

Tough story to hear... I haven't had to deal with that pain. Let it inspire you to do great things.

it already has! yes.

Fret not my friend... all that you deserve will show up at your door one day soon. Please never judge the newbies in your life from what i think was a great relationship, or you may never get another. LUVS

I just want to say this,I don't think you need the computer.thank for your donation.you have done what GOD told us to do,and for that u will be bless for the work done.

So sorry. Our deepest sympathy to you and the family.

I'm sorry to hear that man

Really sorry to hear that.. upvoted

My deepest condolences friend <3
