Scammed out of 1k help! not related to cracked.io

[DiegooRdz]

I dont know how to start this off, but on twitter there was a man from my country (19yo) and he was gambling and trading ( 10k profit a day ), and he had people investing in him but he wouldnt let anyone just invest. There was a lot of talk before i got in, and his plans were example 1k invest

• 1 month- 1.1x
• 3 Months 1.6x
• 6 months. 2.6x

He was making profits through gambling by exploiting their affiliate system and betting carefully just using the right house edge to barely be in profit. His strategy was working for the past 2 years, all my friends who invested received all the profits, and then when i wanted to invest he said he is going to be closing the investment plan soon and i can only pick the 3 month plan and so i did. I waited and waited till 3 months had passed and i messaged him and he said just a little more time, "he repeated this message every 2 weeks".. Now 6 months had passed and all of my friends who invested and got their profits before they are all saying the same thing to me as to them, and 1 month passed then friends started talking about that he gambled all of the money and cannot return the amounts. + the only money this guy has is in the Binance account staking 500k. a lot of my friends want to kill him but idk. Was this a ponzi scheme idk i trusted my friends who had "big amuonts of money" and i personally knew them in IRL. If i go to the police i will not get the money anytime soon (prob for the next 3 years) and i really cannot do much. I know his real name but still idk what to do.. Can anyone give me some help directions?
