    Man, looked at my bank statement many years ago and noticed several little charges. A few cents here and a few cents there. The biggest one was maybe .80 cents.

    My son had fallen for some scam ran by a YouTuber and was buying and trading skins.

    I will say though, now that time has passed, some of those skins are worth insane amounts of money. I’d sell them if I wasn’t so stupid sentimental.

    My son got in trouble for doing that, but it still takes me back to a pleasant time when I look at the inventory.

      That’s partly because the kids that entered after yours lost a lot of money, and partly because some people gambled a lot, got addicted, and lost a ton of cash.

        Oh it wasn’t a small amount by the end of it. He’s a smart boy and he learned right then what that was all about. He won’t even buy a lottery ticket as an adult.

  I’m talking about gambling, because you can sell the skins for real money. There’s an expectation of a financial prize.
