I remember having several run ins with him in the unmentionable group as I saw early on how he was using the bot to reward himself. It's unfortunate that he was able to silence me and kicked me out of the group before I was able to alert everyone. It is shitty that people like this exist and even shittier that he feels no remorse for duping people.
I hope @therealwolf is able to get his money back but I highly doubt it. I guess it is just a hard lesson learned. I hadn't followed up on Ben after he booted me out of the discord group, just saw that all the higher members left and created a new group because of suspicious activity.
This strikes me personally as I was ostracized and cut out of this group because he was good at manipulating people and playing on their emotions, whereas I just called it how it was. Hope this post gets some more visibility and more people come forward.
Shitty situation my friend, sorry to hear
