[Redaktion]

In an apparent crypto scam, a popular game streamer known from Twitch and YouTube has allegedly scammed his fans out of half a million dollars by creating his own cryptocurrency and orchestrating a simple pump and dump scheme. Instead of returning the money, he decided to buy himself an expensive new Tesla.

Microtransactions is the same thing.
With simple program who changes in memory amount can be used to get credits. Gold or whatever.

If I had known getting money for Tesla would be this easy, I would have done that earlier. Cause' 1. I need to pay mortgage for a new home I just purchased and 2. I need a car for long term use.

Cryptos are all a scam in the long run.

You read this & the comments and it show's just how screwed up this  Entitled generation is. Not saying there are not older one's but there is a clear lack of work ethic over the last 2 generations.  A huge part of the population just thinks there "suppose " to have things. I see it working in finance the last 27 yrs. The attitude especially of those under 40 is amazing. They cannot communicate unless it's via text or email, they expect to just have the BMW, there is 0 concept of having to earn & work for things.  Its why socialism is so popular and now those kids are having kids so who is going to teach them?? Not our schools. We seriously need to.consider what were teaching our kids! We have more information available then ever yet we seem dumber then ever.

Unfortunately this dumbing down of the population is also effecting society as a whole as well.

We rather spend on tax rebates to bring in jobs or business to a community than to spend it social services such as schools, etc.

I'm done with this country and I've seen the writing on the wall these past 20 years. Good luck to y'all

Buck Rogers sounds exactly like what someone over 40 would say.

You're complaining about education quality while your post is littered with spelling and grammar mistakes. To address your point however, there have been grifters and con men in every generation. This isn't new.

Coming from a generation that keeps patting themselves on the back for working too hard, when they didn't and still got to buy a house without working hard. You weren't smart and you didn't have to compete against smart people. People are just disillusioned, not lazy. They look at your dumb generation with envy because they know it will never be that easy again. It's your generation that transferred 50 trillion dollars to the 1% while being so high on Reaganomics and work ethics and other words they stuff in your lobotomized brains.  Keep repeating those words to they younger generations, uncle, and keep watching while the billionaires turn to trillionaires just as you've watched while they became billionaires. Then, they wouldn't need workers and more will be thrown to the curb, and you will still be there to repeat the same words.

If I learned anything in life it's TRUST NO ONE. Especially those yahoos you see on YouTube or tiktok or any other social media site.

It's great to hear someone actually admits to what they have done and except the blame. Now only if those people that are the victims would do the smart thing and walk into a federal court and press charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud his a@&$ will be behind bars playing pass the soap. So which one of them is smarter than a fifth grader 😆😆😆😆

Holy f*** can you mention Tesla enough? If he bought a new mustang it wouldn't have been "ford, Ford, ford" all-over the article.
Im surprised you didn't name drop Rogan a hundred times to get the clicks.

Or you could start sending them to prison?

I Love crypto but the sooner it's regulated or at least a way to stop this kind of thing from happening the better.

The issue is the Devs have too much power to introduce ways of taking the retail investors money out of the back door.

When a way of making sure that that scams can't happen I think crypto will flourish beyond anything ever witnessed before in our lifetime. Roll on regulation or a framework that projects need to work within that doesn't allow liquidity to be stolen.
