Among the most important lessons he took away from his experience were the significance of taking responsibility, asking for assistance, and making better financial decisions.
Mr. Macaroni said in a long post on X: "As you are all aware, I never talk about personal matters on social media. I only wish to share this with my community because I want people to learn from my experience. Additionally, I feel compelled to openly praise God for his grace because a part of me won't rest until I do.
"I lost everything I had accumulated at the time due to a fraud and a botched investment that happened somewhere around 2021–2022. I was really shaken by it, but I kept it to myself.

You would know that I dislike talking about my troubles if you knew me well enough. I may be experiencing the worst while still assisting others in resolving their own issues, but I would never discuss mine.
Additionally, I learned in theater that the performance must continue. It is my responsibility as a thespian to keep entertaining, educating, and informing people while using my craft to improve society. Therefore, it made no difference what I was going through.
The performance must continue!

Trouble began when I had to borrow money from various sources to pay off all of my outstanding debts and to meet obligations that I had always felt were mine after I lost everything I had at the time. Since I earn millions of dollars a year, I never imagined that taking out a loan and having to pay it back with interest would ever be an issue. However, I became overconfident and didn't recognize for a long time that I was paying interest with the money I was earning. My carelessness with money also did not help. Don't borrow money, please! However, please exercise responsibility if you must.
"I'm not flawless. I do my best to be truthful. I'm a careless with money person. I am aware of that. It's what my friends and family have always said. And this was well before notoriety. For as long as I can remember, I have been like this. I would forget that I would go hungry when it came time for lunch and offer my lunch money to someone who hadn't had breakfast.
Please learn to share your breakfast and save your money for lunch if you're like me. (This is something I've always known, but I'm a stubborn person, so I would serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I could.)

Somehow, I've ascribed that to a divine command. I always remind myself that God has given me everything I own so that I might serve others. However, I am aware that even God forbids us from acting carelessly.
To recap, I was now deeply in debt, but it didn't stop me from being careless.
"My acting career had a sea change in 2024. I appeared in two films that were shown at international film festivals. I also received a lot of praise for my roles in a few other movies that came out last year. But for me, it was also the most problematic year. I felt the weight of my debt—more than half a billion dollars—every day and night.

"Betrayed by someone I've always loved as a sister and friend was the final straw for me."
She violated my confidence, affection, and trust, and as a result, I became totally unstable. I don't trust people very often, and I'm always surprised by what people do, but this is something I could never have predicted. That was the degree of affection and trust.
One thing about myself, though, is that I'm a warrior! I've never backpedaled in a conflict. By God's grace, when I fall, I get back up even stronger and keep my head up.

I pulled myself together, made some really difficult choices, and now, with the support of my family and friends, I feel better than I have in the past three years!
Thus, this letter of love is for my people, no matter what they are going through. Do not give up, please!
Even if people will betray you, you must not allow that to stop you. There's a reason you're here. And you have to strive to be a better person every single day of your life. Additionally, you need to take responsibility, ask for assistance, and make wiser choices. Making errors and growing from them is OK. Making the same mistakes over and over again is unacceptable.

“May the love in our hearts be forever greater than the hate, betrayal and wickedness in the world”
