My brother has diagnosed autism, he lives on his own but has a community carer who checks in on him every so often. We recently found out that he's spent all his savings on a webcam site, going over his account and his messages, he's sent all his money to one woman in the form of these tokens that you exchange money for on the site, he's also sent her money directly through Revolut.

I am incredibly sad and angry, I won't make excuses but my brother really does not understand what he got himself into, he's been distraught for the past couple of weeks because while I don't blame them, our parents are unable to hide their disappointment, he also still believes this woman loved him, I read the messages exchanged between them and it's painfully obvious to anybody who isn't like my brother that it's all purely transactional, but it's also obvious from the way he writes that my brother has problems.

Is there any course of action here? Or are we just better to cut his losses? I emailed the website's support to let them know what happened and request deletion of the account and they responded informing me of how I could do that myself. I'm also taking control of his finances, and I've set up parental controls on his devices while he stays with our parents for a while, I know it's out of scope for legal advice but if there is any more I could do on this front then please let me know.

There was a guy I saw on YouTube who killed his parents after spending all their savings on a can whore.
