Popcorn Entrepreneur Falls for Bitcoin Scam | Indianapolis News

Quentin Cox, a popcorn entrepreneur, fell victim to a slick online scam that started with a fake $50 charge to “save his photos” — only to spiral into a $100K Bitcoin heist after being tricked into believing he’d won a massive refund. With a history of trauma including a motorcycle accident and loss of loved ones, Cox was emotionally vulnerable and sent the cash to an untraceable wallet, thinking he was repaying a windfall. Now, with the money gone and authorities powerless to recover it, his story is a chilling warning: never trust unsolicited “refunds,” verify every link, and never send money via Bitcoin if you’re not 100% sure it’s legitimate.
