In June *, I invested *.* Ethereum ($25k at the time) in an individual’s crypto project called *Paragon*, based on his clear promises of specific returns. However, none of these promises materialized.
In August *, I sent an additional *.* Ethereum ($25k at the time) for a separate crypto project he assured would provide a quick return and was being run by people he knew, but I have received nothing. I can see these funds remain dormant in a cryptocurrency wallet, which I believe is under his control.

Since September *, after noticing red flags in his behavior and discovering some concerning aspects of his past, I’ve attempted various soft approaches to recover my funds. He has responded evasively, with only minimal responses, often failing to follow through on his commitments, and he has changed his phone number to avoid consistent contact. In October, he claimed that his WhatsApp was no longer working, though he did respond later that month after I reached out to his sister on WhatsApp to outline the financial situation.
