Was it my fault or not?

[reagansimms]

No one needs to be blamed for this incident, I'm sure you have good intentions to make the supermarket where you work more developed than before after your boss accepted the suggestion to receive payment using crypto assets. Actually, this incident will not happen if you tell your boss to make copies of several different addresses on paper as well as a barcode (QR Code Generator) to receive payment. This incident is just a misunderstanding between your boss and the customer due to your lack of education.
I hope that after this case is over you will still be accepted to work there with the same position, then you have to pay more attention to teaching the employees there to prevent the same incident from happening.

I have a big question for you. Why did you suggest a non-custodial wallet to the Director? It seems like there was a bit of a blunder because you introduced him to a technology he wasn't familiar with. The user interface was quite challenging for him, and it seems like you might not have guided him as well as you could have. It's a bit surprising that a police case even came into play based on the information you provided. How did they arrest you without investigating further?

After the investigation, it turns out that the root cause of the problem was your recommendation, and there's a good chance you might face fines for the misinformation. To avoid all this trouble, recommending a custodial wallet would have been a safer and easier option for him. It's strongly recommended for people new to this space.

If you had made that recommendation, I'm sure the case might not have even gone this far. So, when guiding others about the market and Bitcoin, please be more careful. Based on what's happened in the past, it seems there's room for improvement in your guidance skills.  .

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?

Mr OP why will you lie like this, the forum you see is not for one person but all the members are decision maker because anyone disregard your statement with fact so next time be careful. Don't see this has an attack rather a challenge you, again don't blame anyone for you mistake, learn from this mistake. Don't be discourage with all of this, don't give up, some of the members in the forum faces similar challenges like this.

[bluebit25]

OP,

If you're looking for something from this forum, be more honest first. The story you share here seems unrealistic, and like a fabrication full of errors of expression.

[cryptoaddictchie]

The heck was that story. Everyone here got a negative sentiment OP cause the details werent clear and good as realistic event on blockchain. How come you can do a BS story to post here? I hope you arent grinding for merits. Its okay to post narrative experience but to tell a lies and equate your situation with that isnt gonna earn you merits. Being truthful or posting quality experience here can be a good meritable post but not to the point you need to came up with a lousy story. Props for posting you really did effort on conjuring details.

A few days later, I told the police to bring me the lady who sent the coins to my director's Bitcoin address, So they did. To cut a long story short, when I checked the address of the lady who sent the Bitcoin, it was a USDT address that my director gave to the lady to send Bitcoin unknowingly to him.

You had all the time in the world to tell the policemen this when you were interrogated by them but you chose to be locked up for days before saying it. I see that you want your story to be long which is why you chose not to tell the policemen not to call the woman that made the transaction when you were first interrogated by the police.

Was it my fault?

Your director has never studied Bitcoin's fundamentals to know how to deal with Bitcoin. You went ahead to convince him to start accepting Bitcoin payments in his business and you also adopted a custodial wallet where he is not fully in control of his Bitcoin. It is your fault for introducing something to your director he has no single knowledge of.

[Woodie]

Was it my fault?

Sorry about your wrongful incarceration, but here is what I think using an example...

Your situation was like giving someone a loaded gun and asking if it is your fault for them going on a rampage shooting at everything that moves and you do not want to be implicated in it...might not be the best example but you introduced your boss to cryptocurrencies without proper guidance especially that you are running a business and most likely very much aware that crypto transactions are irreversible.

The best approach was to start with baby steps to get the boss familiar with this ecosystem, a few YouTube videos or something to get them to know how crypto works before jumping to wallets and the alike, by now he would have known the dos and donts, but unfortunately he had to learn the hard way.

[HONDACD125]

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.

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.

I laughed so hard at this story. The story sounded suspicious at the beginning, but the lies at the end sold you away. Get knowledge first before you try to lie to people who know more than you do, so you can at least cook up a story convincing enough to lie with.

Where you seriously hoping to earn merits from your cooked up story? @OP This is a poor attempt!

Congratulations, you have successfully been added to my ignore list.

[CryptSafe]

I have to say this, OP is a good storyteller. Maybe OP should specialise in writing fiction. I think that would suit OP perfectly well. I was wondering how on earth it is possible to send Bitcoin to usdt wallet address here. Indeed a fictitious story. On a normal when you insert a wrong wallet address on the wrong chain wallet there is always a caution sign to alert you that it is a wrong address not to talk of when the wallet address is not complete. I think OP is just a kind of teasing us here with this type of joke.

Although I still see this as a joke because in the real sense we all know how things works on the Crypto space.

[letteredhub]

Was it my fault?

Before anything else I'll like to say a big thank you to OP, for I am entertained and the interesting part is than I was entertained for free. Lol.

Op from the story as read, everything that happened  was all your fault. And I'll itemize why I said so.

1. For trying to outsmart the community with such a dumb cooked story

2. For being so eager to get merit at all cost but not doing so morally.

3. For not interested more in learning but merits etc.

It's all your fault next time put in energy to making your fiction story more real and connecting.

[FinneysTrueVision]

This story does not seem very believable. It's strange how your post is so detailed and isn't completely plagued with grammatical errors like your previous posts which barely make any sense. The part where you say Bitcoin was sent to a USDT is where your story falls apart. This would only be possible if it was an Omni Layer USDT address which Binance doesn't support and also the fees on Omni are too high to be realistically used for supermarket purchases.

That's because it's an obvious lie an all made up story, for me when I read the whole write it just made wonder what even gave him the inspiration to even write such nonsense. Maybe OP must have re-enforced himself and his is fully back to hunt for some merit because thats the only obvious reason someone can cook up some story like this

[Marvelman]

This has got to be the dumbest story I've read here!

I do like this part though:

...and that was how I was dumped inside a police cell.

A few days later, I told the police to bring me the lady... So they did.

Am I the only one getting a "naughty vibe" here?

It’s possible that the police could pick someone up in a mass arrest situation but, it’s not always the case when you’re singled out for an arrest. You must have committed something or born out of a misunderstanding.

As initiator of idea and a more better expert on the course in your supermarket as I’ll like to presume,
It’s okay for you to instruct them to call you when confused or not take a transaction at all when you’re not readily available. They’ve been doing well with fiat and could still manage a few days of your absence from work. It’s easy to say, “our sales rep in cryptocurrency collection isn’t available” and you provide alternatives.

Either ways, I can’t blame it on anyone as you’ve rightly stated it to be an issue of misunderstanding. It ain’t your fault, neither is that of your boss. You both misunderstood each other.

[Catenaccio]

People make up lives on the internet in general, and stories like this. What happens is that here they have a powerful incentive to invent things that they think will earn them merit, as is clearly the case here, and it has backfired.

They made up stories to fish merit. They think it is best and easiest to fish merit..

[tech30338]

sorry but it seems to me that its just a made up story, if this story is true you might have really steal the money in the first place, like the comment earlier address will be invalid once you put it there, so its either true that you made up stories, or you did steal the coins, posting made up stories will not help you grow here since it will be attach to your name, in the forum, so the next time you post members will think twice if its true or not, so be very careful, with what you said in the forum.

[Agbamoni]

if this story is true you might have really steal the money in the first place

Its not buddy and he is not a good story writer as well. This forum is supposed to be a place for meaningful discussion, not some fanciful bedtime tale. I'm actually outside my apartment, and it feels like a quiet night to listen this story but I wont waste my time.

[JunaidAzizi]

Was it my fault?

This is not possible at all for a bitcoin is sent to a USDT address. You need to exchange it first. In your case, the fault is yours as well as the director too. When you advised him to use bitcoin payment why you did not educate him about the bitcoin. After the advice you need to explain everything about Bitcoin to him and yeah he will never do such stupidity. Also, the director did the wrong thing in that he provided the USDT address instead of BTC and to repay his loss he arrested you to recover his lost money.

So be aware for the next time I know you advised him for his betterment but see how you get arrested by suggesting Bitcoin to the wrong person. Next time you advise someone then please give him a complete guideline about the bitcoin so you will not be arrested again.

As the wise peoples says 'A little knowledge is a dangerous thing'.

It looks to me like a made up story, first, your Boss cannot just arrest you without wanting to hear your own side of the story.
Besides the police would want to have your own statement to present as fact, but here your saying, the police officer didn't want to hear a word from you anymore and that you where just dumped into the police cell.
I feel there is more to this story.
