>anybody working in the cryptocurrency space should vet clients very carefully given the high level of fraud and insanity in the space.

Normally I'd agree, and I'd just flat out refuse to do crypto work for people over Upwork.

But these payments came over the course of two years. After the first few settle, I can't blame him for assuming everything is hunkydory.

What's insane is that the bank is letting someone do chargebacks going back two years.

How do we know they did chargebacks for two years? I see 6 items, which I'm guessing is the 6 months that my card issuer limits chargebacks.

If that's the case, then the freelancer could still be well ahead on his slice of the credit card fraud.
