@songrichmond This is an old thread full of other people's posts. We answer income tax questions, and we certainly would not know the name of someone at "Optimus" to give to you. If you lost money to some sort of scam in 2018 or 2019, it is not deductible on your income tax. The new tax laws took away theft losses as a deduction on your income tax. You will have to pursue the perpetrator of your loss though the legal and court system. We cannot give you legal advice here.
