Strider is an excellent researcher and this was unfortunately an easy mistake to make. Blockchain forensics are incredibly complicated and small errors can lead to very different results. The facts are exactly the same. Many investors were cleaned out of their savings because of a forced migration and to date, they haven't been refunded, although many promises have been made.
complicated stuff 😂 maybe you shouldn't do research if you can't. small mistake of 94 million dollars. anyone researching anything on the internet will see that the video is just poorly researched
@@Coffeezilla I'd argue that this is a colossal mistake to make. There is quite a huge difference between the alleged 102M compared to the actual amount. How many people that watch this video are going to come to the comments to see this mistake? I'd argue not very many. The damage has been done already, which is unfortunate because it came based off of a false claim that could have been fairly easily avoided by simple fact checking. Now I'm curious what other apparent "facts" were wrong with this video.
“Miscalculation” bro… you literally spread misinformation and impacted so many people on different levels and will be making a profit in video views. That’s quite an immense margin of error. Why should anyone feel confident in your calculations and block chain investigation credibility.

I remember when 2 co-workers of mine told me about safemoon and how I should get in early like them. When they described it to me, I told them, "This sounds like a ponzi scheme." Cue nervous looks and laughter from them.
Coffee has unironically become one of the most important YT channels in existence. It's weird to go back to some of his original videos before he pivoted to scams, and then later crypto.
He has some good content but at best he can only prevent you from getting scammed so IMO content that can help you get the most ROI as an investor is the most important.
That was quite some exaggeration. Someone who covers scams and Ponzi Schemes that are obvious scams and Ponzi schemes is the most important channel on UA-cam? I don't think so. If you're mentally ill enough to invest in Crypto, you probably should "invest" a little bit in a therapist.
Fortunately he's pretty open and if something were to happen to him it'd be pretty obvious why or who did it. That instant suspicion will deter most smarter people, but the people he's exposing are the intelligently dumb type of people so I'm sure coffee has thought about it and is hopefully staying behind some sort of security.

If thinking about how it could fail and asking people questions is enough to destroy your currency, you don't have a FUD problem, you have a currency problem.
Can we discuss why the hell someone would get a Safemoon logo TATTOO?? Just because I’m invested into MasterCard doesn’t mean I’m getting a tattoo of two giant intersecting Red and Orange circles on my arm.
Because people love to trauma bond, and when you attack their sense of identity (what they consume and frivolously buy) instead of self reflection, you’ll get them digging their heels into the ground and bracing-doubling down against their best interest🤦♂️
Some valued it at $3 billion, some people valued it at $4 billion. It would take a long time to count every dollar of value in an entity worth several billion.
I’m almost disappointed when they’re exposed. It’s Social Darwinism at its finest, let these morons lose their money and cease all motivation to procreate.
I lost it when I heard that. HOLY SHIT that was hilarious. Surprisingly relatable too. I know somebody who I feel the exact same about. Some people are just so awful to you that when you see them struggling it feels cathartic.
Trying to talk sense to that Safemoon cult was futile. Imagine getting a tattoo of the guy that robs your house or holds you up at gunpoint. That’s the Safemoon Army 😂
It is incredibly bizarre that so many people would fall into cultish attitudes towards what is meant to be a financial institution.

So in short: Anyone with basic tech skills can now do Wall Street level scams. To put it bluntly: I have seen no evidence financial middlemen produce value. If a service does not produce value but has net profit, is it extracting value

The quality of these videos is astonishing. Youre one of my favorites! The key to informing everyday people like us about advanced topics like crypto scams is to form it into a story. And damn, you are one amazing storyteller.
It's crazy epic to see how far this channel has come. I used to watch you when you had like 20k subs and made funny rants about some little scam here and there. Now you are really a full blown investigator and I am sure the best is still to come! Keep it up.
@@commiecomrade2644 I think what he meant was that it's easy to make things look believable with clever editing. Because that's all this really is. I'm not defending safemoon, just surprised how easily you people are fooled by nonsense content such as this.
I love that Safemoon was built on the lie that the liquidity pool was untouchable by devs, but then they stopped pulling that punch and just said "send the money to us, we'll put it in liquidity we promise"
As a small time toober, I'm worried about about doing any kind of sponsorship, in case it turns out that the company does something messed up in the future. These influencers must not live on the same planet as me, to go in on these blatant scams, against audiences they have built up, often over years... its genuinely baffling.
I feel ya. My friends in discord channel was all over this. I tried so hard to tell them this is 100% a scam but they get upset and say things like "Don't cry when we are all driving our lambos lol!!" I have accepted that most of the population are not that smart and are not willing to learn or do the research. Crypto just exposed that.
Dude, stop thinking you are so much smarter than everyone else. I mean this in the nicest way possible, but let these people play the lottery and screw off.
Agreeee with you 100%. I believed in them too until I did some research. I actually got banned permanently from Twitter because I questioned them and their liquidity pool.
this was some stunning journalism Coffee. the production value is astounding, the level of research and investigation is award winning. watching this channel grow has honestly been a privilege.
I tell you what's worse...Working a whole year only to find your research and resource are all floored and you mistakenly can't do math and miscalculate $96 million which your entire video is about..this is HILARIOUS!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
this is absolutely INSANE. production value on the vid in amazing and the fraud you've uncovered is unbelievable. cannot wait until part 2. congrats on a million subs, coffee! keep up the amazing work!
coffee is the frigin GOAT (said I without knowing any other journalists) Badass investigative reporting AND a comedy special at the same time?? Didn't know it was possible
@@LasseRafnDk Or actually know enough to recognize blatant scams. It amazes me how people get into the space without knowing even a little bit of how it works.
This man is single-handedly exposing crypto scams and grifts. I hope all the younguns are paying attention to this channel. Hopefully it will allow them to see through the hype and prevent them from losing money.
The scams on this channel are getting so intricate and so big that I believe one day, this guy will find a case that leads to the exposure of actual legit corporations doing some truly fucked up things. He and the team are really stepping up their game.
The corporations created this game. Have all the brilliant minds chasing people stealing meme coins (1's and 0's on computer screens) while the real thieves have their safety nets working in government positions

The fact that he knows it sounds extremely bad in any other circumstance is hilarious
Honestly the work you do is really impressive. Keep it up
After the death of Steve Jobs, every businessman/businesswoman with a turtleneck is a scammer lol
Steve himself was a scamer POS.
Steve Jobs wasn’t so much of a saint himself
Steve Jobs was the person that inspired all of these scammers. The iMac and iPod were just overpriced versions of already working products
So in short: Anyone with basic tech skills can now do Wall Street level scams.
To put it bluntly: I have seen no evidence financial middlemen produce value. If a service does not produce value but has net profit, is it extracting value
Exactly.
I wish I was born a scumbag
Imagine being 23 and never having to work ever again

The quality of these videos is astonishing. Youre one of my favorites!
The key to informing everyday people like us about advanced topics like crypto scams is to form it into a story. And damn, you are one amazing storyteller.
Agreed, top quality content
"The only time I like him is when he's depressed"
I HAVE to start using that in my life
NDA agreements don't cover illegal activity, I'm not a lawyer
this is what people dont understand lmao. The only way to cover illegal activity is to be filthy rich
Honestly hearing him say it's a bunch of complex things put together is like hearing Todd Howard saying " it just works".
It's crazy epic to see how far this channel has come. I used to watch you when you had like 20k subs and made funny rants about some little scam here and there. Now you are really a full blown investigator and I am sure the best is still to come! Keep it up.
Not hard to with theatrics and a short attention span
@@nagorski11 wheres ur channel en?
@@nagorski11 Lmao not hard? Someone is jeaous. That or they bought Safemoon.
He's not an investigator though.
All his videos are BS.
@@commiecomrade2644 I think what he meant was that it's easy to make things look believable with clever editing. Because that's all this really is. I'm not defending safemoon, just surprised how easily you people are fooled by nonsense content such as this.
"Some believe it's here to change the world" At what point does this become insanity to people?
Sounds like Silicon Valley to me
Long as capitalism exists. Especially the late stage neoliberal variety. @squibbelsmcjohnson
I accidentally left a couple dollars in safemoon and forgot and when I found it months later it was 7 cents 🤣
I made some money from it earlier and sold
Mate the honesty. Made me chuckle a little. Glad you can laugh at yaself 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💪🏾
I love that Safemoon was built on the lie that the liquidity pool was untouchable by devs, but then they stopped pulling that punch and just said "send the money to us, we'll put it in liquidity we promise"
As it turns out, code law! Whoda thunk it? (Good developers, perhaps?)
Coffee was only off on his “estimation” by 93 million dollars. Hahahahahahahahahahah

It died when people realized that you could make just as much quick money being complete liars than actually trying.

As a small time toober, I'm worried about about doing any kind of sponsorship, in case it turns out that the company does something messed up in the future. These influencers must not live on the same planet as me, to go in on these blatant scams, against audiences they have built up, often over years... its genuinely baffling.
think of all the whiskey you could buy!
They just count on people to forget, which unfortunately a lot of their fans will.
Once you get that big it doesn't matter what you do to your audience theyll still blindly support you
Tool on timmy
always do your research and stay cynical :)
I feel ya. My friends in discord channel was all over this. I tried so hard to tell them this is 100% a scam but they get upset and say things like "Don't cry when we are all driving our lambos lol!!"
I have accepted that most of the population are not that smart and are not willing to learn or do the research. Crypto just exposed that.
If you think about the most average person 50% of people are less intelligent then them
Dude, stop thinking you are so much smarter than everyone else. I mean this in the nicest way possible, but let these people play the lottery and screw off.
Agreeee with you 100%. I believed in them too until I did some research. I actually got banned permanently from Twitter because I questioned them and their liquidity pool.
The boys and their lambos... I hope they didn't lose much.

Coffee is my new favorite youtuber. This guy is like the SEC if the SEC was run by humans.
So far he has done more investigations uncovering crypto schemes than the actual SEC.
Fr, unfortunately our SEC and most of our government are run by corrupt politicians, lizards, and human robots. And elite bloodline where the elitists help other elites , while pissing all over the poor. They only target people who aren’t apart of the club. “It’s a big club and you ain’t in it”
