HI,

I was recently involved in an online Crypto Scam, where I was led to believe by joining this group doing crypto trading, I could make lots of profit. I invested a lot of my own capital, and turned out to be a scam, where they never let me withdrawl any of my capital. I invested over 27K of my own capital which they scammed. Will I be elelible to claim as Capital loss for next years taxes?

thanks,

David
