He had me take large amounts of cash from my checking account. $20,000 , 35,000 , 100,000 and 150,000 from my checking account and deposit into my Wells Fargo account. First I had to input cash into bitcoin crypoto machines and finally deposited into Wells Fargo. The he would occasionally call and tell me he heard from FDIC and I needed to go take out $50,000 and an agent with BOA would come pick up money. A few days later he would show me the money listed as "in my wallet" because the FDIC authorized it. Then he would occasionally ask if I would remarry or date, he assured me that he was legitimate and FDIC guaranteed my funds.
