Yes, I lost $15,000 — but if you’re going to lose money on a budgeted, high risk investment, it’s great to do so embroiled in the strangest of human/technical dramas. I am loving it.
Same for me. Lost less than you, but I was almost laughing when I heard the news. Maybe we should crowdsource a movie to regain the money lost. That's quite a plot we have here.
You really need to talk to a professional about documenting your $35,000 loss. The IRS gets very nasty about stuff the looks out of line with their expectations.
He's right /u/goodroot, the $45,000 writeoff should be done quickly so it's counted in the bankruptcy filings.
Edit: We're all joking, but you should tax writeoff the stuff. You can't exactly exercise your losses, so this will be game over. Be aware this makes you illegible for future bankruptcy proceeding.
I hope you have money for the popcorn. Most people in the USA and the world do not have $15000 so you ain't no worse off in the bigger scheme of things.
