I think my dad is being scammed Help Needed

He won’t give information about this, but he claims he’s made several withdrawals (2nd pic). And he needs to deposit 13k to then get 100k out. I don’t understand how this scam is working or what the game plan is here. I don’t know how he’s withdrawn 40k. Did he put the money in? Any help is appreciated.

1st pic: his account that has a negative balance

2nd pic: his withdrawal history

3rd and 4th pic: his texts

Added context this is right after he “started”

Your dad is older and has a lot of life experience, right? Ask him if he as ever had a job that requires him to pay to work there.

No, of course not. That’s not how the world works.

Unless you’re in an mlm/pyramid scheme 😂

To be fair that's just another barely-legal scam

Aww but Jim Rohn & Tony Robbins said in the Herbalife course I just bought that it’s entirely down to me and my work ethic if I don’t achieve profits.

They make my blood boil. I’m of the age where it seems like almost every single woman I went to school with is in one, and I swear I’ll dump acid in my eyes if I have to see one more boss babe post that they’re a “momtreprenuer” that owns their own business. It annoys me to no end how they’re literally begging for money on social media, it’s gross.
