In court, his lawyer described this as part a long-term dream to work as a security guard, and that Naseer had himself become a victim when this money then disappeared.

Yeah fuckin’ right. People dream of being a security guard like they dream of working at Macca’s. They don’t.

The Guardian recently did a piece on people losing all their money investing in crypto scams. It’s amazing that it’s so easy to fall for these criminals! Don’t know what the solution is (I don’t think castigating these people helps) but seems like there’s a wide knowledge gap here.
