Hi SighCoSocial,
Sorry to hear of your problems, sadly you have I believe just 3 options open to you now:
- Deposit a little of your own funds and start again
- Deposit a little of your own funds and get your friend to reimburse you
- Deposit a little of your own funds and find new friends
Forgive my lame attempt at humour, but yes basically you will not receive any compensation for your friends play. Time to start over from scratch with your own funds.
Seems like you were doing ok before the loss however, so with continued studying and commitment I'm sure you will do ok.
Best regards,
Bart
