If so wtf is your problem??? You have the perfect excuse not to loan people money... Tell them how you were scammed out of your savings and you don't have any money left over. Poor mouth. Laugh and ask them for a loan.

it was about two years ago that the money is gone, but just realized/told that i wont be getting any of it back
but yeah, true. honestly, that is one of the reasons i gave this guy money because i was out $10k from my friend and figured id be able to make it back a little faster.

Instead of being out $500, not getting it back and you looking like the asshole for hounding them for repayment.
