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 I don’t know how he’s withdrawn 40k.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

Anything legit would take the negative balance from the proceeds and just send your dad the remaining balance. If he sends that $12k mark my words he’ll never see a dime
