People on X in the GAMBLING community loaning strangers money and being shocked when they get scammed
My experience with @gamblito22 /Luigi Rubuano.
I never thought I would have to write something like this about someone I genuinely considered a friend. But I believe people deserve to know about my experience and make up their own minds.
I’m sharing this not for sympathy, but to warn others.
1/ How it started
It all started on X. I’m someone who’s interested in the gambling community, so my For You feed is full of gambling-related content. I had already been following @gamblito22 for a while, never imagining that our lives would eventually cross and that we’d become what he called “friends.”
One day, I saw a tweet where he was asking people for money. I was genuinely concerned, so I reached out and asked if he still needed help. I told him I could lend him some money and that it wasn’t a problem.
He said yes.
I offered to send him €1,000 so he could get by. He promised to repay me on Monday and even said he’d give me DOUBLE because I was such a good person for helping him.
His explanation? He supposedly had a Ledger at home holding €2.5 MILLION in USDC.
Think about it. Why would someone with €2.5 million need to beg for €1,000? Yeah, I don’t know how I didn’t see the red flags either. 😂
This all happened on a Saturday.
2/ The second request
The following day, he contacted me again, asking for more money. He kept telling me that he would reward me even more for helping him and that I could always count on him.
The fact that he’d supposedly spent €1,000 in less than eight hours already made me suspicious. I thought he might have gambled it away.
I’m 20 years old. I have limited savings, and I wasn’t prepared to risk everything I had on someone else’s gambling.
This time, he was asking for €5,000.
Eventually, he manipulated me into sending another €1,000. He kept insisting that he was a millionaire, that the Ledger was real, and that the only reason he couldn’t access his money was because he wasn’t at home.
I couldn’t bring myself to risk any more than that.
3/ Things started getting dangerous
The next day, he asked me for money AGAIN.
I told him I didn’t have any more to send and that all I had left was cash.
That’s when Luigi suggested I meet up with people who gave me a really bad feeling so I could exchange my cash for crypto and send it to him.
He didn’t seem to care about the risk I was taking or the situation he was putting me in. He just wanted his crypto so he could keep gambling.
Thankfully, those people required a minimum exchange of €5,000, and I only had €3,000 in cash. We couldn’t reach an agreement.
Luigi was furious.
Nevertheless, he continued promising that on Monday he’d return the €2,000 I’d lent him, plus the extra money he’d promised.
4/ The story about the €2.5 million
On Monday, he told me he was finally going to explain everything.
According to him, he had an investment worth €2.5 million with a friend. That friend supposedly refused to send him the money, so Luigi went to Switzerland with “gangsters” to recover it.
Apparently, this mission straight out of a movie was successful, and his former friend eventually transferred the €2.5 million to the Ledger he supposedly had at home.
There was just one problem: he allegedly owed the gangsters €10,000 EACH for helping him recover the money.
He claimed he was arriving home with them on Monday, but he didn’t want them to know where he lived because he was afraid they’d steal his Ledger.
So, according to his story, he needed €10,000 from me immediately to pay them off before they discovered his address.
Once he got inside, he’d turn on his Ledger and send me everything he owed me, plus DOUBLE for helping him.
I asked him the obvious question: why couldn’t the gangsters wait on a nearby street while he went home and sent them the money?
His answer was that they would inevitably steal the Ledger if they got anywhere near his house.
I never received the money on Monday. Not a single euro of the €2,000
Where was this energy for her brother she defended? Where was this energy for her rapist husband? She’s actually disgusting
You’re so close to figuring it out😭😭😭 it’s not on anybody’s radar. Don’t you have some men to chain up and assault??
Well, the @petshopboys released 'A Man From The Future' two weeks ago and it's still on the @Spotify Release Radar and my track 'We Will Dance Again' came out a week ago and it's not? So go fucking figure?

Since we are talking about pedophiles:
- Why do #KateMiddleton and her sister Pippa say NOTHING about their uncle Gary Goldsmith??
- Why does #PippaMiddleton say NOTHING about her father-in-law??
- Why does #PrinceWilliam say NOTHING about his uncle #PrinceAndrew??
She did exactly what she was supposed to do in this situation. Anybody still slating her just has issues I fear
Met Police says it received letter in 2019 with claims about Meghan’s father, but did not share with other law enforcement agencies bbc.in/4z9l23H
I went into this knowing all the Glenn spoilers. I genuinely thought I’d been a victim of the biggest group prank of all time! Imagine my fucking shock and horror when he smashed Abraham and STILL went for Glenn😭😭 was extremely shook
Parte 1 de 10 anos de “The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be”, o episódio em que perdemos Abraham e Glenn em The Walking Dead!
Há 10 anos, em 23 de outubro de 2016, Negan chegava de vez em The Walking Dead, interpretado por Jeffrey Dean Morgan, e fazia sua primeira vítima no episódio “The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be”: Abraham Ford, vivido por Michael Cudlitz. 🦇
A cena abriu a 7ª temporada, dirigida por Greg Nicotero, e mostrou ao público o tamanho da ameaça que Negan e Lucille representavam. Nos quadrinhos, Abraham tem outro destino, morto por Dwight, o que fez a escolha da série surpreender até quem já conhecia a história.

I think there’s a rug pull coming. Ariana was meant to return, as her character from scream queens. The extremely “chanel” type of madison, Charlie carver was also in scream queens..something’s coming. Also think “not the one you know” line from Ben is somethinggg
Grievances I have towards #AHS13 and the two most recent episodes, despite enjoying the season initially.
- Constance and Fiona being twins and Jude being their mother. Twins okay sure why not, but Sister Jude being sexually assaulted by the devil and being impregnated in her 60’s? The age issues aside and the timeline aside, this is a needless plot and just destroys the lore.
- Okay Constance and Fiona were born while Jude was incarcerated. So 1965 at the earliest. Adelaide was born in 1972…. Making Constance 6-7 years old. Okay, sure.
- Fiona is shown in Coven to murder Anna Leigh Leighton and take her role as supreme, Fiona is roughly 16-18 at the least.
- Fiona is shown in Coven to have been born October 17, 1950. So what now?
- Madison met Constance in Apocalypse, so if they are twins and identical then she would’ve surely recognized her as being similar to Fiona right?
- Madison breaks the 4th wall and says “us Coven season girlies”. Like what is the point of this? She is acting more like Chanel than Madison.
This is only the tip of the iceberg of the issues created with these two episodes. It’s not even the fact that Ryan and the co show runners want to make them all related, it’s the fact that no care was taken to establish it and make it accurate. Oh I forgot one.
- Michael is now Constance’s grandson brother?
