Daniel Calabrese has never returned my money to me (it occurred in 2015/2016)

My relationship with Daniel Calabrese goes back to about 2011/2012.  I decided to get into IRA Gold for a little while and Calabrese was the person whom I dealt with when he worked for American Bullion at the time in what I think is located in Los Angeles, CA.  I went to South Korea and became an English teacher.  I know that he left American Bullion in the next few years after that.  I don't know the reason why.  I maybe should have asked why he left. 

I still dealt with him off and on about some gold/silver deals.  He had told me in around 2014/2015 that he was going to do a deal with an upper-class government official and it would provide an opportunity for me to earn some money that way by making a profit on the silver.  I decided to give him several thousands of dollars for this deal through a wire transfer.  Well, from 2015 to even now in 2022, he has still not given back what was promised. 

We had talked several times on the phone and emailed each other back and forth and he kept on "explaining" that he had all these barriers to get through.  Even last year in 2020, he had told me by the end of the year that he would finally give back what was promised.  Well, 2020 came and went and here we are in February 2022.  He still has not done so.  I, unfortunately, have to finally count this as a financial loss. 

I have tried to reason with him over and over again many times, but it does not seem to resonate to do the right thing and give back what is promised. Not only did he scam me, but he also scammed one other relative.  I want to warn you to not do any deals with him.  He cannot be trusted.  It does hurt me to say this, but it needs to be said. 

About three months ago, I contacted him and told him that I was going to put up this report if he did not comply. Well, unfortunately, he never did.  So here it is.  It saddens me that I had to do this.
