  "account": "An engineering graduate lost ₹83 lakh in trading and fled his home, working as a Swiggy delivery rider now, according to a viral Reddit post. The 35-year-old, who claimed to have come from a financially stable family, reportedly lost everything after learning about trading from a client's workplace. Encouraged by initial gains, his parents sold their land, pledged jewellery, and provided ₹35 lakh for trading. However, the venture backfired, leaving the man in debt. Despite his parents' financial assistance, he ran away from home and began working as a delivery rider. The post received mixed reactions on the platform, with some warning about the dangers of trading without understanding financial markets.",
