Although the money was transferred through cryptocurrency, there is no significant funds in the crypto wallet (maybe a total of $20). The crypto funds are transferred to 'the company' allowing me to perform the assigned tasks, then once completed the tasks I would withdraw to a crypto wallet, then sell it to deposit into my bank. I made two small deposits, then just started leaving the funds in the crypto wallet. THEN the scam started where my work account would go into a negative state (my trainer said this was an awesome thing) and all I need to do was deposit enough money to cover that deficit and I'd earn 3x the commission. Should have known then. Anyway, eventually that negative amount became excessive but I was so far in I had to try. I eventually got it completed but wasn't allowed to withdraw my funds because my creditability was damaged for taking too long. I could rectify that by paying $25,000. Hard stop for me. But I lost everything I put in. The account is still open but because I haven't paid a daily 'data retention fee' I'm sure the penalty will have increased if I wanted to entertain recovering the funds.
