IF they lost it all. People make stuff up and it gets repeated by others. I see it all the time on FB. Someone will just make something up. Hundreds of people will blindly believe them and post their opinion. I’m thinking, hmmm, that sounds suspect. I’ll do 15 seconds of research and find that it is total BS. I read a story like that about a Thai bank last year. But no evidence and no confirmation. I’m just saying that if it were that common, it would be all the forums and internet. Plus, it should have been insured. Plus, wouldn’t there have been a paper trail of where it went?

@John *******

it’s actually getting pretty annoying between them and the trolls.

@Doc *******

you have "heard" stories? You know you can't believe everything you hear. And if were that common, it would be plastered all over here and the internet.

@Paul *******

are you sure it's more? My math dictates I save $1200/ yr in interest. An agent is a third of that or less.

@Ally ***********

yep. And what is the larger countries develop their own digital currency, you have to think they will at some point...it just makes sense, bitcoin will bottom.

@Joe *****

because doing the other way is a pain in the a$$.

@John *******

Absolutely. Glad it worked out for them 20 years ago when it much easier. And I voiced all of these scenarios with the agent and was comfortable in his replies. If they didn't want this to go on, they could have stopped it looong ago. Think of many agents and probably thousands of people that have done this and been fine. If it falls apart in the future, I'll just do it the 'correct' way. I wouldn't think they would 'ban' ALL those people from coming back. Just my 2 cents.
