history: Someone scammed me. What was the opportunity? He said that he had a house that needed to be flipped_comma_ but he couldn't afford the renovations.  He would split the money with me when it sold if I would fund the renovation.  It was supposed to be $200_comma_000 to split_comma_ but guess what?  He left town and I have no idea where he is. Did you put money on the reno?
current: Yup, I gave him $100,000 up front.
next: Haha, that wasn't very wise.
