Last night on the way home from a tournament, I got robbed by two guys at a gas station. They took my phone and unlocked it which has all my passwords and stuff saved on it, and took my debit card and withdrew all my money, leaving me with nothing. Nightmare scenario.

I've filed a police report, and am working with my banks to try and reverse the damage, but I'm moving forward preparing for the worst.

As Fatality explains, the robbery took place at night and in a gas station, with the robbers taking things in the moment but also the passwords needed to do even further damage.
After the incident, he has filed a police report and is working with his financial institutions to “hopefully prevent them from damaging my life anymore.” While he is aiming to reverse some of the damage, the Smash pro contends that he is also “preparing for the worst.”
