I have not been coming to this forum for a long time now, so I want to tell you the reason why I was not here for a long time.
Some months ago, I was arrested by my director at the supermarket where I worked because I advised him to accept Bitcoin as part of payments in his business. Since I am the manager of the supermarket, I will teach him how to use it and he agreed and created a verified BINANCE that he could use for his transactions, since some people use Bitcoin in my area, so one day I didn't come to work. That day he messed up unknowingly with me.
So the next day, I went to work and he was asking me strange questions that I couldn't answer, and I was like, why are you asking me all these questions? then he asked me if I didn't want to talk, maybe I will talk in the police cell and I thought it was a joke, all of a sudden I was arrested for committing no crimes.
When I got to the police station, the police asked me, why did you steal from your director? then I answered I didn't steal from him. Maybe it is a little misunderstanding. then the police men said that my director said I had stolen the coins that a customer used in paying for things she bought then I couldn't say a word again because the officers didn't want to hear from me anymore and that was how I was dumped inside a police cell.
A few days later, I told the police to bring me the lady that sent the coins to my director's Bitcoin address, So they did. To cut a long story short, when I checked the address the lady sent the Bitcoin to, it was a USDT address that my director gave to the lady to send Bitcoin to unknowingly to him.
After that, I was granted bail, so I look for money to bail myself out, but the happiness I heard was that I didn't sell any of my coins while I was in a hard situation, so I know that since I didn't sell my coins to bail myself from the police cell I can hold my coins for longer time.
Was it my fault?
Your story is quite interesting and funny. You gave good advice to your director to accept Bitcoin as payment, and of course giving or accepting Bitcoin as payment can play a huge role in the value of Bitcoin. I think you told your director to only accept Bitcoin as payment. You didn't give him a complete guide about Bitcoin. You should have given him full information.
The woman may have asked him for a Bitcoin address to send Bitcoin to, while your director may have given her a USDT address, causing the Bitcoin to go to the wrong address. When your director didn't receive the Bitcoin, he suspected you, that you stole his Bitcoin, and his suspicion was correct, because he didn't know anything about Bitcoin. However, in this whole story, as far as I understand, the entire fault is yours, because whenever someone is told about Bitcoin, he should be given full information about the risks involved. Incomplete information can lead to similar problems.
