It's infuriating for sure, but unfortunately it's the reality. If you gained from a Ponzi scheme that means you literally were given other peoples' money (directly).
I fully empathize with the absolutely epic degree it must SUCK to get a call and be told "yeah that 10% you've been earning for the past 20 years was actually someone else's money, you need to give it back."
- factsarelolz 4y agoAssuming you cashed out, wouldn't it be something like "that 10% you earned 10 years ago" because if you never cashed out then you're not liable. My reply would be along the lines of: "Sorry lost it all in MtGox/FTX/Crypto/Vegas/Horses"

- mensetmanusman 4y agoThe court would argue you didn’t complete due diligence and are liable for your mistake due to a crime taking place.
