Answer 1

I can answer the question base on the title:

Is my sugar daddy a scam

The answer is yes. Everything else they did from asking for your account number and routing, to cryptocurrency, to them giving you their SSN and id; screams scam even louder.

Answer 2

Yes you are being scammed.

A sugar-daddy relationship is supposed to have your daddy paying you for some sugar. If you are not giving your daddy some sugar then its NOT a sugar daddy relationship, it's a scam. If you are being paid for sugar, then you should be doing some searches on the risks of sex work. If you are giving some sugar and being paid by weird bank transfers then that's also a scam.

If you're being paid to take money and convert it to Bitcoin and send it back to your sugar daddy then you're being used to launder money. He is getting money from somewhere, its probably stolen accounts. He sends the money to your bank account then you send him back Bitcoin that he can spend or convert to clean cash.

When the stolen accounts are discovered the banks will come after YOUR account for their money back. But you will have already spent that money buying Bitcoin. So in the end you're a victim here too.

Stop contacting this person. Find above board ways to make money, sugar daddy relationships are nearly always a scam. The ones that are not scams carry their own risks for physical and sexual abuse and are not a good idea either.

Answer 3

Prostitutes can be paid the same way that a clerk is paid at a convenience store, or the same way that their friends would pay them for splitting the bill at a restaurant. Any range of legal sex work or subsidized companionship is not different.

If a larger transaction is desired (apps and credits cards have arbitrary limits between $2000 and $10,000, but there is no legally mandated reason for that), then a wire transfer can be done - which would need your bank account number and routing number. But that would be it, there would be no additional work for you to do, no purchasing of bitcoin, no sending the money to further places and back.
