In 2024, I was defrauded of $51,000 in three different Cryptocurrency scams that targeted older men. How do I report these losses on my taxes?

All involved non-US crypto exchanges masquerading as a regulated investment bank. But when you try to withdraw coins, you are not allowed, and the person sponsoring you disappears.

Those losses are not tax deductible.  This would be considered theft which is not deductible under current tax law.
