Why would anyone meet in an empty parking lot to buy or sell bitcoins? Meet at a Starbucks or McDonalds or something. It's legal. You don't need to be clandestine about it. I would never meet someone in an empty parking lot, especially to buy fucking bitcoin.

Im not selling any more bitcoins for cash to any of you, if youre all going to bring guns.
Do the trade in a bank where hoodlums arent going to rob you.

Unfortunately totally avoidable...dude sounds like he was way to focused on the dope he was getting and less on opsec/general safety.
didnt notice that the parking lot was empty till after, let dude pick spot..i mean I get it...complacency, but still..this seems a little excessive, like a dope fiend for bitcoin

Reading things like this makes me so thankfull I live in a city where there is a bitcoin atm lol.

You gotta assume theres a reason that the person wants to buy/sell btc f2f instead to begin with... Lbc f2f transactions are always for some type of shady reason. I bet this happens alot

How hard is it to bring a friend and a gun? Now I'm not necessarily saying you have to fire this gun. I'm also not saying you don't have to. But really. How hard is it? I guarantee the likelihood of you getting robbed will drop to next to nothing

This has always been my concern in doing in-person cash deals with LBC. I pretty much avoid it altogether at this point with LibertyX, but it's gone through my mind more than a few times what an easy setup to rob someone that could potentially be. Sure, why not show up to a location with an already disclosed amount of cash to deal with a complete stranger?! I'm sure plenty of people have success with this but it's just too sketchy for me personally
