      @L33tSkE3t 11 місяців тому +126

      Exactly! I think it was due to so many people putting their trust and faith in his perceived abilities, even if they didn’t invest with FTX, news outlets, prior to the fraud being uncovered, spoke about him with great reverence and respect in what they believed he was doing and at least seemingly succeding at. So when they went to talk about or report on his fraud, making it seem like he was just a naive kid who did the wrong things, maybe makes those who invested in or reported on him positively, feel less foolish. Idk, that’s just my humble theory.

      27 years living on earth, man. That's what his age all means. You've at least seen him on cam how he carry himself, how he talks, & the interviews he made betrayed a behaviour that fits more to a kid than an adult. Even the overall aura. Yes, we have a lot of toddlers & kids living in adult bodies nowadays. It doesn't matter if they're in their 40's, 50s, or 70's there are people who truly are kids mentally no matter how long they've lived their lives on this planet. The thing is, this kid we're talking about is just a pawn of his parents. His parents are the real crooks behind this kid. And guess what, they're university professors who pulled strings for him that involved multiple governments, corrupt politicians, and investors to pour out money to his company.

I bought it on ebay, and at that time, credit card payment on internet was the wild west. Paypal just started. I lost 2000$... but I lost way more... my innocence. It was the most brutal learning experience of my life... and also the cheapest one. I will not get scammed again.

    2 of my all time favorite Creators collabing! What a treat! Bruh, the fact that Coffee has become like Batman to Cryptoscammers never fails to crack me up. He's like the Boogyman or Beetlejuice and I LOVE IT. Web 3.0 has been nothing but scam after scam and every Scammer and their posse need to be thrown in jail after being drained of every cent they've got. I do my best to have empathy for the victims because most of them aren't bad people trying to climb up the pyramid scheme ladder, benefit from the ponzi scheme, or are like SBF or Logan Paul. Most of those hurt by Crypto are people who trusted the wrong person or didn't have enough financial literacy to realize they've been caught up until it's too late. That being said, I do love when an Elon Musk Stan or one of the "have fun staying poor" folks get Humbled. The government needs to put the work in to fix the laws or if they expect Coffee to do their job, they need to pay him handsomely. The Crypto Bubble is more like a Crypto Boil being lanced. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

    A scam I’ve ran into the last couple years has been eBay bait and switch or giving a tracking number then straight up not sending anything. I’ve never really had issues with either in all the years I’ve used that platform, but I’ve been burned about 6 separate times last year. Pay attention to low scores, sometimes they may have a couple good reviews, but they are burner accounts.

    Years ago I was inside the 50,000 square foot mansion referenced in this video. It's called Darlington and it's in Mahwah NJ. It sold for $26 million about two years ago. I didn't get to see the whole place but I toured through a few of the rooms. One of them was the so-called dining room, which was about the size of a basketball court. It was also on a huge, amazing piece of property. I think some of that was sold off many years ago.

While petty drug dealers get tossed in jail for over a decade. University deans getting 7 figure salaries while students get into debt for useless degrees they will never find a job in.
