My name is Nathan, and I’m one of many people who have been devastated by a cruel and sophisticated crypto scam — DeFiMate.

I lost over AUD $60,000 — my entire life savings — to what appeared to be a legitimate DeFi investment platform. I followed their instructions, connected my wallet, and trusted their promises. But when I tried to withdraw my funds, I was told I had to “meet a quota” that I couldn’t afford — a fabricated requirement to keep me locked in. My funds are still trapped.

As I searched for answers, I found I wasn't alone. Others have fallen into the same trap — victims from different countries, each losing thousands, often their entire savings. Many are now in debt, emotionally shattered, and too ashamed to speak up.

This fundraiser is not only to help me recover from the personal financial and emotional loss, but to:

Support other verified victims who are suffering in silence

Fund legal advice or reporting efforts to pursue those responsible

Build awareness to prevent more people from falling into the same trap

If you can donate, even a small amount, it would mean the world to me and to others going through the same nightmare. If you can't donate, please share this page to help raise awareness. Every voice helps.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your compassion.
