Comments by "Samson Soturian" (@samsonsoturian6013) on "Coffeezilla" channel.

  1. Most obvious signs of a scammer: They dick measure with wealth, they get angry when you talk about criminals like themselves, and they claim their business is different than all the others. The influencer calling you a "broke moron" clearly has a guilty conscience.
    506
  2. Ironic that a system meant to be impossible to control has problems only a government can solve...
    220
  3. They were scammed, not involved
    165
  4. This is where real mob bosses come from. Nice enough to form a team, mean enough to commit a crime, and an infinite risk tolerance
    137
  5. The FBI literally filed charges on 8 of these guys this week.
    102
  6. That jerko was pumping this? I knew he was arrogant (literally thinks he's smarter than all the government) but I didn't think he'd get involved in this. Then again, of course he's guilty of the exact thing he accuses all the "oligarchs" of...
    102
  7. Impossible, since due to his position he can only talk about large caps. However, since he leans heavy on FANG and is the eternal bull, he'd probably match an index.
    86
  8. Mafia. That's the word you want.
    82
  9. It's literally the only argument these goons have left. I had one guy try to argue how luna's arbitrage was perfect... Below a piece where its depegging was announced
    75
  10. “In retrospect, the currency backed by memes was bound to be less stable than the one backed by aircraft carriers.” -Anonymous
    75
  11. All gamblers believe they have a system, no matter how illogical
    63
  12.  @adz1011  Not yet
    60
  13.  @Kolby.with.a.K  you miss the part where all these stablecoins violently depeg eventually?
    56
  14. Banks have a "HODL mode." It's called a Certificate of Deposit (CD).
    53
  15. Since the discussion was off the record, it was probably one of Mr. Beast's employees breaking the story rather than the man himself.
    45
  16. Coffee is essentially an crime reporter now.
    42
  17. @Ufhhh12  Ha. Al Capone himself was said to be the nicest criminal anyone ever met. Even got scammed a couple times because he was too trusting, but that is also why he could keep a crew getting along until he went to prison. Likewise, VICE interviewed a middle boss in the Medellin Cartel only to find it was a middle aged lady and her sons. She got the job because she had been with the gang long enough to rat out her boss to the big boss and the big boss disappeared him and promoted her
    36
  18.  @Kolby.with.a.K  we're talking about crypto, bro
    32
  19. Given the circumstance it may be a charity scam about Ukraine.....
    27
  20.  @JINORU_  In that game the problem isn't the gamblers (although there's part of the game that's used as a slot machine). The main problem is it is believed all the work on the game is being done by a single intern with a budget of zero and there have been many bot hosts over the years trying to deliberately destroy the game. Things have improved significantly this year, though
    24
  21. He's another pseudo-socialist accusing everyone with more money than himself of being stupid and corrupt... Whilst making basic mistakes in pushing his own cheap lies onto his audience. It's an oft repeated pattern among thieves.
    19
  22. Greedy liars pretending everyone else is greedy liars?
    17
  23. The smartest criminals are the ones we are not aware of
    14
  24. What lawyers?
    14
  25. To what? See a porn star get naked during an "audition?" Yeah. He did that.
    13
  26. A strange assertion, given nothing criminal was revealed in the Pandora Papers. It was merely a file dump that would have been considered a lawsuit worthy privacy breach if the targets had been anyone but elites. That is, unless you count the Jordanian king using state funds as his personal pocket book. But the Jordanians know as well as we do that the law isn't worth the paper it's printed on in that part of the world.
    12
  27. The legal system moves at a snail's pace and there's bound to be a bunch of jerkwads floating about at any given time.
    11
  28.  @GreatClickbait  nah. Rebels are just power hungry. Every last one of them.
    11
  29. Finite number of investment banks, and Switzerland has tight privacy laws.
    10
  30. A lot of these guys get taken down, you just notice the ones still loose more
    10
  31. Loss depression.
    9
  32. He did post videos with much of the evidence against them.
    9
  33.  @themaskedmaestro4699  dude, he was a conspiritard the whole time. He literally thinks he's smarter than the whole government. Those guys are always hypocrites and you should anticipate them accusing others of the exact things they intend to do.
    9
  34. Original reporting like this is what marks Coffee out as an actual crime reporter.
    9
  35. @captainsuckbutt3917 That simply doesn't match up with the facts. Coyotes told reporters they estimate 80% of the drugs get through, but the Border Patrol estimates 70-75% of the drugs get through. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
    9
  36. Dude, these guys were all arrested
    9
  37. People boasting how much they spend are clearly neither professional gamblers nor traders nor investors. Because those guys only stay profitable because they curtail their spending to only what they need.
    8
  38. All these scams could be avoided if you follow the advice of one legendary investor: Ignore advice from someone trying to sell you the idea.
    8
  39. CZ is definitely be arrested on other charges eventually. I bet my life upon it.
    7
  40. Technically they were a hedge fund because they used private equity from rich people to fund their investments, but that doesn't mean they were licensed stock brokers.
    7
  41. As if he wasn't already a conspiritard.
    7
  42. I saw a post on Reddit with a list of stocks that were trading at 6-month lows saying people should "buy the dip." I replied: "And I will assume you're in the red on all of them." Always assume people materially benefit from anything they're pumping.
    6
  43. Relevance?
    6
  44. Wut?
    6
  45. I guarantee you the guys that claim causing them "emotional distress" is a felony also harbor delusions that you're not allowed to criticize the men who are really in charge.
    6
  46. We don't need an excuse. The Feds will take control of any market it likes.
    6
  47. Like matching shirts that say "Be different."
    6
  48.  @brownerjerry174  a libertarian can be literally anyone non-partisan.
    5
  49. It's just the latest iteration of the same old grift.
    5
  50.  @belongda6032  people who think life is fundamentally predatory are always thieves.
    5
  51. It's called systemic fraud
    5
  52. That's why no one knows his last name
    5
  53.  @christiangonzalez865  that's the definition of a promote. Mr Tran downplayed it all after it exploded and seems to have forgotten about it as he's busy whining about everyone richer than himself is a jerk and everyone poorer than him is a sucker.
    5
  54. Not exactly. Valve did a lot of things, but it's mostly things they didn't do because they were too busy trying to get rich rather than maintaining their own website
    5
  55. Bagholders
    4
  56. I don't think he ever had one.
    4
  57. The reason Elizabeth Homes seems unnatural and creepy is that everything was an act. Even her voice was fake, she spoke deeply to sound older and get taken more seriously. She copied Steve Job's wardrobe, wore enough makeup to make a normal girl look pretty, and maintained a blank expression to hide how she was lying the whole time.
    4
  58. I think this is more incompetence than corruption
    4
  59. Extraditions are as slow as the Federal government. It took me months just to get an FFA loan approved.
    4
  60. That's significant since daytraders will insist they're completing against dumb money because Coffeezilla will buy/sell regardless if short term moves. Reality is they're the dumb money relying on gut instinct and they're losing to a supercomputer employing automated strategies.
    4
  61. This scam was targeting minors.
    3
  62. Whichever makes you give them money
    3
  63. The big bosses want it to take that long, their employees know better.
    3
  64. Dude, there's investing, there's gambling, and there's crime. Investing is not the one whose siphoning.
    3
  65. How much did you lose?
    3
  66. That is the most ridiculous headline I've seen on a finance channel.....
    3
  67. Who was the reformed scammers that became an activist short seller and then used that new business to run a short and distort scam?
    3
  68. The exact quote from Napoleon is: "Do not ascribe to malice what can be adequately explained by incompetence."
    3
  69.  @belongda6032  most people can't be bought as easily as you
    3
  70. That's also a felony because screw tax evaders.
    3
  71. Update: He's been charged with a felony. The SEC has a bit of a backlog.
    3
  72.  @wwhd1220  they're all cons playing silly games with each other
    3
  73. They don't make much more than a retirement fund on average
    3
  74.  @sunshinef263y  Shut up before your crypto scam gets busted
    3
  75.  @Football__Junkie  yeah, which is why all these grifters are correlated to each other
    3
  76. They were already defunct when you made that comment. Fined out of existence
    3
  77. 1:41 Definitely a South African ad. Three blacks, a white, an Indian, and a suspicious EFF style red flag.
    3
  78. Yes, I too watch Patrick Boyle.
    3
  79. Because it's a super effective way of tearing apart gangs.
    3
  80. That's the pace the feds move at. I know it's infuriating.
    3
  81. Not even Warren Buffet can rug the whole market.
    2
  82. Why'd they use crypto when Salvadoran banks will cash all those American paychecks no questions asked?
    2
  83. Vhut? It's not like the dollar isn't the global currency.
    2
  84. "Delay and get paid" is also known as "buying a bond." These fools broke SEC regs too.
    2
  85. I don't get why it's news when stocks jump. Write about the catalyst, not the movement.
    2
  86. Who wants to bet those same goons told other people "Have fun being poor."
    2
  87. ​@gtheskater neither does Walmart, but we love to hate them
    2
  88. Seeing the monitor on a bright day would be even more impressive
    2
  89. That was a UAE flag in the background of that billionaire's garage. In that country, you can literally buy a medical degree and license stamped and signed by the government. Also, most of their workforce are slaves, people from abroad lured in with promises of good pay only to have their passports seized and wages withheld permanently.
    2
  90. He believes everyone as dirty as he is, but the rest is him choosing to believe anything that is profitable if it were true. This is quite common among frauds.
    2
  91. How much did you lose?
    2
  92. No one is using it. The market data crypto websites post is fake, they don't even show the depegging
    2
  93. How much did you lose?
    2
  94.  @AyoSwuffy  how much did you lose?
    2
  95. Found the crypto scammer
    2
  96. Proof you don't need a big newspaper to do original reporting. You just need some basic detective work and not rely on clickbait.
    2
  97. They're all cons. They harbor the cult because they want stupid people to join in so they can screw them over
    2
  98. It's just like VC funding, then
    2
  99. I literally forgot about them until they blew up
    2
  100. He's definitely going to jail. I bet the lives of everyone on this thread
    2
  101. Big sophisticated crimes have less harm than a proportionate amount of small brazen crimes.
    2
  102. On guy in New York was allibied by his Facebook post. I think it was he made it from a public computer at the opposite end of town where the crime occurred
    2
  103. Sone people would give conspicuous amounts of money just to get her attention
    2
  104. The stock market returns 10% a year. A 20% discount and three month wait is a reasonable return given the risk, assuming you would buy the product anyway.
    2
  105. How much did you lose?
    2
  106. Most criminal proceeds are not stolen, but are the profits of contraband sales, Saying a quarter of Tornado trades were illegal is way too low, as I'll wager another quarter of them was drug money.
    2
  107. How much did you lose?
    2
  108. The websites are run by gamblers
    2
  109.  @krisa8924  profiting like that is like profiting by buying into a ponzi scheme: I requires a greater fool than yourself to come and buy in after you. Inevitably someone is stuck holding the bag.
    2
  110. Something tells me you're involved in scams
    2
  111. In our dialect of English, it's all the same
    2
  112. There were some that were not intended as a pump and dump but were hijacked by fraudsters later. Namely Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin.
    2
  113. If your work is hobby
    2
  114.  @m.k.738  Only if I get to phaseblast his face [sarcasm]
    2
  115.  @arjunratnadev  In the Borderlands game franchize there were no governments but instead genocidal corporations with armies of lunatics.
    2
  116. Except the weed dealer would totally sell you that heroin given the chance.
    2
  117. How much did you lose?
    2
  118. It's not like the actual stock market doesn't have private equity auctions to prevent this exact kind of scheme...
    2
  119. Dude, he's almost certainly lying about his winnings.
    2
  120. Ha
    2
  121. Dude, it was a nernous laugh. And IDK what you're talking about with Jimmy Donaldson, he makes every kind of video under the sun.
    2
  122. Just not in public
    2
  123. Coffeyzilla is a true crime journalism channel, not an amateur investment channel.
    2
  124. Do you have a death wish?
    2
  125. There was once a hedge fund that did 1% a month consistently. It was the world's biggest ponzi scheme.
    2
  126. Those guys weren't totally incompetent and the team formed around one guy's family and friends and not just random assholes from the internet.
    2
  127. 15:30 I'm willing to bet the execs hired her BECAUSE she was an "adult actress."

  128.  @ripleyhrgiger4669  owned by valve

  129. That thumbnail is oddly foreshadowing....
    2
  130. Crypto is not wall street
    2
  131. Also known as fiat currency.
    2
  132. It is also easy to lose 90% in a day.
    2
  133. He's an actual lawyer, though. I watch his coverage of garden variety crime
    2
  134. Biggest sign of a thief/degenerate: None of them value education.
    2
  135. No, defamation is. Like the lie you just told just now. The Covid insider trading allegations were debunked simply because these Congressmen did NOT act upon classified info. They simply attended long filmed briefings about the spread and effects of Covid.
    2
  136.  @kelvinw.1384  Or perhaps you're simply not as familiar with them as you think they are.
    2
  137. What is consistent with all these crypto bankers is they all mainly interested in a money printer they can abuse.
    2
  138. Shut up
    2
  139.  @hd9g  more like your own incompetence. Of course we do not trust currencies we don't control
    2
  140. Boredom set in and insiders diluted shares and the stock price tanked.
    2
  141. It'd get dismissed without trial
    2
  142. The SEC has so far allowed no publicly traded fund to own crypto directly, but they tend to be faize faire and won't act use they're expected to.
    2
  143. It's gambling with stocks. Nothing more
    2
  144. Pay to win Minecraft servers work the same way. Rip off small amounts of money from thousands of children in a largely automated system.
    2
  145. *Scam.
    2
  146. Not so fast, it is often difficult to establish who owns what wallet. The whole point is they're allegedly untraceable even if they totally are.
    2
  147. Another month, another crypt fraud busted.
    2
  148. Found the shoplifter
    2
  149. No one cares
    2
  150. Frauds, gamblers, pirates, and gangsters are mostly men.
    2
  151. It's weird to see this when there was a civil war going on when Bukele was first elected.
    2
  152. Feds move at a snail's pace. But Gary Gensler himself said something to the effect that he believes all crypto firms are frauds
    2
  153. Shut up
    2
  154. If he knew full well what its primary use was when he set it up.....
    2
  155.  @shm6273  a quarter is either stolen or circumventing sanctions, but those should be dwarfed by the proceeds of contraband. Yes, I would say its primary purpose is criminal since there's no way in hell anyone trusts an anonymous programmer more than they do their own government.
    2
  156. He may actually be telling the truth there because the fraud was that Alameda's account was allowed to maintain a negative cash balance and was exempt from all margin calls, freely spending customer funds. He wasn't watching, and the trades moved so far against him that all funds were depleted.
    2
  157. Of course they wont
    2
  158. EPIC FORESHADOWING.
    2
  159. There's never any shortage of assholes, yes.
    2
  160.  @warehousing2953  some people want fast money. They may be addicted to risk, they may be lazy and work hard to live without working, or they may be greedy and want to dominate their peers and rub it in their face (hence why fake gurus flaunt other people's lambos).
    2
  161. Caveat to the +90% losses: That is simply the price of the last NFT traded and says nothing of liquidity. Most NFTs that have lost value can never be sold EVER.
    2
  162. This is actually a ponzi scheme. The salaries were paid with the revenue from other talent. Colin Thompson intended to exit the scheme by selling the company, but it appears he is now the bagholder.
    2
  163. How much did you lose?
    2
  164. 0:50 A better way to say it was an actual conversation I had in the army: Me: What's your MOS? (Job) Him: Culinary Specialist. Me: ......you're a cook? Him: Culinary Specialist.
    2
  165. Dear People: QUIT SPREADING RUMORS ABOUT SAM'S SEX LIFE. It's irrelevant, inappropriate, and probably malicious. Thank you.
    2
  166. Hilarious

  176. Dude, it's super easy to dupe idiot reporters. Just say what they want to hear and it'll be printed unedited

  177. I started abusing the report button when he started defaming preachers and insinuating they should be killed. He deserves what he'll get.
    1
  178. That's a joke right?
    1
  179. Because it's easy to fake and a lot of people indiscriminately buy new cryptos.
    1
  180. Lazy reporting seems to have been an issue. Reporters would rather publish single interviews with famous people than spend weeks chasing leads to print something only a handful of people will read.
    1
  181. People who think they're smarter than the other guy. It's just an expensive game of hot potato.
    1
  182. According to the SEC, that is exactly what happened

  183. I didn't

  189. These vindictive victims is just case in point that crypto was just cons conning cons

  190.  @viewtifuljon8105  Uh... That's one of things thunderf00t got debunked on.

  191. The sad part is these guys could have simply stashed the money in bonds and simply got modestly rich from the arbitrage.......

  195. Irish dude learned British in school and then moved to America

  196. The extent that crypto exists in its own little world is that no one I know had heard of FTX before they blew up, including several people who were into crypto.

  204. To add to that "Fortune favors the brave" is also the motto of Sayeret Matkal, Israel’s elite hitsquad. They have a very similar all-in, no-f***s-given approach to warfare.

  205. That's silly. The rating changing on those precipitated the crash, but many were already losing money by then

  208. It's called sensationalist bullshit. The price of drugs go through the roof with these arrests.

  209. Because they probably aren't making any money. They're just lying and giving revenue as profit

  210. A bunch of trashbags are spreading lies about that shit anyway. What's the difference?

  211.  @troywalkertheprogressivean8433  I ain't kidding. All the American commies do it

  212. Guys, we all knew last year that all those stimulus checks were us borrowing against our future selves. We all made that decision, so get over it.

  213.  @ChineseKiwi  Liars burn in hell

  215. I take these videos as good news. This year was so uneventful that Coffee is targeting small time illegal gambling.
    1
  216. He's a thief
    1
  217. To be fair to the influencers, in drug dealers we call these guys "user/dealers," where they sell to support their own habits. I'm sure the casino owners are user/dealers too
    1
  218. "A" problem.
    1
  219. You feel threatened by these revelations?

  220.  @qwe-de7xd  the only difference between the two words is one is when the reporting considered a good and the other is when the reporting is considered bad.
    1
  221.  @qwe-de7xd  you're definitely dirty. Either that or your whole community you live in is if you see such gamgsterism as normal.
    1
  222. You read too many crypto newspapers
    1
  223. No, a ponzi scheme is paying old lenders using new lenders until the you run out of money and the chain breaks.
    1
  224.  @casucasueq4479  a few of them, yes. Hedge funds behave very similar to retailers, just with larger sums and more exotic investments

  237. Amazon FBA would look awesome if you already ran a specialty store of some kind.

  238. Exchange Traded Notes? That's a different class of asset and is usually high risk.
    1
  239. Grown man identifies as the other guy's "former roommate" and has defensive body language when talking about him. Not meaning to be demeaning, but were they gay lovers? I apologize if I got the wrong idea.

  240. What I never understand about a lot of these massive heists is why the thieves don't take the money and run when they know people are onto them.....
    1
  241.  aadhi gei  a lot of people are full of it when it comes to politics
    1
  242.  aadhi gei  did you mean to say that to someone else?
    1
  243. This was stolen software
    1
  244. Sotoshi never had any intention of monetizing bitcoin, which is why it succeeded as the system was self sustaining. Likewise, Dogecoin is still around because the founder made it as a joke and dumped his stake immediately.
    1
  245.  @idontcare9041  Years ago I thought I saw some money in mining bitcoin rather than speculating on which direction it would go. But I was also a broke college student so I gave up when I realized how expensive the equipment was to mine profitably.

  246. They aren't. They are unsolicited accessories to fraud
    1
  247. Shut up. Get drafted.

  252. Shut up

  253. According a bunch of industry professionals, a "real" trader has a bunch of PDFs of reports and excel spreadsheets going.
    1
  254. Often no. And wannabe mafias have always been a thing. In my hometown we jailed a middle aged guy who was making meth and throwing parties and had delusions he was irresistible to women. He was very ashamed when I booked him in.
    1
  255. I never heard of it before now. I guess I only follow honest channels.....
    1
  256. Not necessarily. He straight up said that only gamblers were buying this junk anyway, not anyone innocent. IDK how much they told them about what the real plan was.
    1
  257. Why the frick would he need those?
    1
  258. Like... you?
    1
  259. He probably started out trying to post quality content but is now is trying to sell out his channel any way he can.
    1
  260.  @tpeterson9140  except he keeps failing to make any money
    1
  261. The caveat is you will certainly lose money just as fast and just as often, with fees eating up your whole account.
    1
  262. The police are involved, but can be a bit of a black box when it comes to complicated investigations like this
    1
  263. You'd be surprised how many grandpas are running this mania.
    1
  264. Shut up

  267. What about it?

  268. Greedy influencers were always greedy, you simply only notice their greed after they're famous.
    1
  269. He doesn't have relevant experience
    1
  270. No, he said he wouldn't touch it
    1
  271. You sound like you lost money since writing that
    1
  272. Everyone is socialist when they control the money
    1
  273. 100% of thieves think business is fundamentally predatory. 100% of people who delude themselves that all businesses are predators are thieves themselves. It's as simple as that.
    1
  274. Except Jake isn't making any money.
    1
  275. 20 grand is a lot. The problem is a lot of these guys are both frauds and ponzi schemers spending money wildly
    1
  276. *quadrillionaire
    1
  277. Pretty much. But chumps trade it anyway and the dealers make a spread.
    1
  278. "Letter to the Jury." That's called jury manipulation and is a felony.
    1
  279.  @Khashmonet  good. Because if they do, it's a mistrial
    1
  280. You lost everything
    1
  281. Bagholder detected.
    1
  282. More than that but yeah, cut the lootbox
    1
  283. Investment vehicle that threatens legal action against people who write bear cases? Who's manipulating markets now?
    1
  284.  @Timeward76  but there is the "If you shop anywhere else, I'll have you killed" vibes going.
    1
  285. Crypto will not survive the winter, figuratively and literally.

  286. Ha ha.

  287. Imagine trying to learn any marketable skill through 10 second videos. And people expect to get stock picks this way!!!

  289. He's gloating.

  290. Of course he does. It's gambling with stocks.
    1
  291. How much did you lose?
    1
  292. Dude, they just cash American checks.
    1
  293. I just found out your name is Steven...
    1
  294. Dead men don't pay
    1
  295. Nah. They wanted to own the Federal reserve
    1
  296. Except his rage against people richer than himself is genuine. Jake really is that gluttonous.
    1
  297. With these Tether scandals you'd think instead of lying they could have just bought liquid bonds and said so... Unless they just took the money and ran.
    1
  298. Not hard to do
    1
  299. Millionaire. But FTX was paying influencers around 50 grand a month to promote them. There's definitely someone out there with enough money to get her attention
    1
  300. Not when you're Sam Bankman-Fried.
    1
  301. Can you cover the Masterworks fraud?
    1
  302. Steven has been threatened in the past. That's why he doesn't tell anyone where he lives or his last name.
    1
  303. Hmm... From what I understand about the law, they'd need to return that money FTX paid them on account those were profits from fraud.
    1
  304. Technically all Union protests are paid protests
    1
  305. What?
    1
  306. What looks hi tech to an amatuer
    1
  307. Equating the two is proof you have stolen from family.
    1
  308. Googling... It is both taking a identity and using it to commit a felony. I.E. A kid stealing a Driver's License to buy beer is identity theft, a man stealing your SSN to access your bank account is aggravated identity theft.
    1
  309. 11:42 Note the names. I should have guessed.
    1
  310. An early 40's lady pretending to still be young enough to be attractive to the public? Not a good sign, but also unfortunately not uncommon.
    1
  311. I think that started with the Tim Burton Batman with Arkham Asylum but given the amounts of copycats Lovecraft has this is not surprising.
    1
  312. *delusions
    1
  313. The math is wrong, and there's daytraders and fanbois in the comments.
    1
  314. Depends on compounding
    1
  315. 18:00 Quit regurgitating Sam's bullshit just because you like to condescend on politicians
    1
  316. They need a to give a reason.
    1
  317.  @borisxbg  you can't donate to a court
    1
  318.  @HermanWillems  citing "Europe" is the sign you're talking out your butt. Europe isn't a country and not all of it is even a democracy.
    1
  319.  @borisxbg  people who can't give courts orders.
    1
  320.  @umungus518  only if they want to go to prison
    1
  321.  @umungus518  That it's easy to spot liars like you? Yeah.
    1
  322.  @umungus518  your attitude betrays you as a liar without any specific libel.
    1
  323.  @theecharmingbilly  shit up. Get drafted
    1
  324. You say that, but file your taxes anyway.
    1
  325. It's a scam. The company that sells them was arrested
    1
  326. How much did you lose?
    1
  327. What's his name from the Raging Bull has been charged with just that. According to the SEC he's been losing money trading the whole time.
    1
  328.  @Calebe428  who said there were hundreds of scam influencers? It's a pretty niche crime
    1
  329.  @shawnpitman876  except the coyotes themselves collaborate their estimates. Also, the price of drugs increases by a minimum of 400% the instant it cross the border, and that premium wouldn't exist unless there was a high chance of prison.
    1
  330.  @lanceanthony198  there aren't that many of these idiots
    1
  331.  @shawnpitman876  this goon thinks all gangsters are working together... There was a time when the lion's share of drug smuggling was connected to three kingpins, but those days are over. There are thousands of gangs, most of them tiny, and many loosely affiliated with cartels.
    1
  332.  @shawnpitman876  except no it isn't. You just pulled that out your butt
    1
  333. Because she didn't.
    1
  334. Found the scammer
    1
  335. Liar
    1
  336. They never left...
    1
  337. Not exactly. Most of the people easily manipulated by these events are people who think they can outsmart everyone. Get in vefore the hype, get out before the panic. That's why they're easy to outsmart, since all you need is the right rumor
    1
  338. 40 MILLION went to election campaigns. All that money has been returned.
    1
  339.  @dc-ic5lj  FTX wasn't even worth 40 billion, you incompetent wannabe terrorist. Now shut up before you get doxxed and enslaved.
    1
  340. I have my own bone to pick with Valve, but I wouldn't demonize them either. They're just a slum lord and I seriously doubt they're making any amount of money.
    1
  341.  @mushy5518  I'm a TF2 regular. Over here the problem is Valve literally forgot they still own this game and there are bothosts trying to destroy it.
    1
  342. Well, people still own beanie babies
    1
  343. USD an't a stablecoin.
    1
  344. Many are in jail
    1
  345.  @loupasternak  there's no way you could know that if it were so... Unless you think that everyone in the world is a thief like you.
    1
  346.  @loupasternak  yep, you shoplift
    1
  347. How much have you lost since writing that
    1
  348.  @SonOfTh3Sun  ha ha. You lost it all.
    1
  349.  @SonOfTh3Sun  liars burn in hell
    1
  350.  @SonOfTh3Sun  with their tongues cut out
    1
  351. @legateamicus9099  I'm repeating a rumor so perhaps you're right
    1
  352.  @DragoNate  Found the thief. So shut up and get drafted.
    1
  353.  @kai-nf7im  Or maybe just you. Now don't you have a community service sentence to finish?
    1
  354.  @visekual6248  That's an oxymoron
    1
  355. They're all scams
    1
  356. Sometimes. But inflation can also be caused by GDP going down. I.E. War comes and industry is destroyed, snd what money there is buying necessities at inflated prices.
    1
  357. They don't want privacy, they want to be immune from the government
    1
  358. That's the common theme when it comes to crime. People assume that thieves are only interested in life changing amounts of money, but really most of them are just gluttons that get a kick out of the act of taking.
    1
  359. He won't. I nbet my life upon it
    1
  360. There are more criminals in this video alone there has ever been Valve staff.
    1
  361. You lose.
    1
  362.  @NsLHD  Nothing weird about that. Did you just find the most volatile dollar index you could find and bring it up to sound smart? Because you sound like a liar when you do that.
    1
  363. Shut up and get drafted, freak show
    1
  364.  @nottoday4866  Congress is plagued by many of the same issues, but there's nothing political about demolishing greedy bastards
    1
  365. New to him and he got an insider tip because Monarch tried to bribe him
    1
  366. They want a cult type following so that people will put in all their money and spread the word without question. It usually doesn't work
    1
  367.  @jwr3289  gamblers
    1
  368. @H C Hardeehar. The bank loans out money at a much higher interest than they pay, which is more than enough to pay their employees. How did you think there are 500 year old banks that have weathered so many wars and depressions and natural disasters?
    1
  369.  @stephenchurch1784  Exactly
    1
  370.  @HamHamHampster  No, you're better off buying T-bills directly from the government using their website. They system simply credits the money to the same account that paid in at the current interest rate.
    1
  371. No, they were founded by Arabs. Of course the "lab" run by Arabs are just stealing software and selling it as their own
    1
  372. There's no marketplace running this circus
    1
  373. They aren't rich
    1
  374. It is if you're a hedge fund. You just need to convince an investment bank to market you, which costs as much as a car. Most hedgies start with investing their family's money
    1
  375. No
    1
  376. Nah, he's got ALL his money from ponzi schemes. He started out working admin at an internet company during the 90s and got rich off the bubble. The best investment of his life was when he bought puts on his own company. Later he managed to flip a sports league by buying at one inflated price before a billionaire sports fan offerred a ridiculous price. As Mark Cuban put it, he is the luckiest man in the world.
    1
  377. They don't care about frequent trips to jail, as long as the tine between is spent of a yacht with money everywhere, drugs everywhere, girls everywhere.
    1
  378. Let's put it this way: Most exotic investment platforms are not scams, they're just schemes to trick people into paying higher fees. Investing services heavily favors economies of scale, so unless they're Robinhood promoting Vanguard funds they can bug off.
    1
  379. Even that would lead to a lawsuit

  380.  @TamerRashdan  you don't know the meaning of the word

  383. Satoshi might agree

  384. These Faze clan guys were originally competitive CS:GO players, IIRC. If you don't play the game, you're unlikely to have heard of them,
    1
  385. Lying isn't necessary in this instance. Argentina had hyperinflation when he was elected, and he was elected on a platform of tearing up state-run enterprises. Inflation is down, but still really high and everyone spends their cash immediately or converts it to dollars.
    1
  386. Shut up before you get doxxed
    1
  387. Civilization sure as hell didn't nearly end in 2008. It didn't even get that bad in 1944. And it involved EVERYONE, from the amateurs flipping houses to the bank managers borrowing money to buy empty houses. And whataboutism in financial topics is the same as lying.
    1
  388. Someone big realized the risks involved.
    1
  389. Not even world class mathematicians with supercomputers can predict those moves. The market is green 53% of days, that's all we know.

  390. Vhut?

  391. Another one bites the dust...
    1
  392. How much did you lose?
    1
  393. Coffee and Bagels. What a generic breakfast.
    1
  394. Ha
    1
  395. Shut up
    1
  396. Bad example of insider trading. Those Congressmen were NOT acting on state secrets and acted on info you could have known if you happened to be watching CSPAN.
    1
  397.  @moderatingmoderation1699  is that sarcasm?
    1
  398.  @moderatingmoderation1699  quit talking out your butt. You know the debates in Congress aren't staged.
    1
  399.  @moderatingmoderation1699  just because it's the internet doesn't mean you have to berate everyone and lie.

  400. If there was such a thing, he'd only share his idea with close friends and key investors. And that happens all the time, it's called an innovative startup.

  401. They're not scamming the same people every time

  402. If you're telling the truth, you were throwing out a hypothetical

  403. Treason? That's silly

  406. It's just a whole lot of fluff content so men can fantasize about dating a girl out of their league.

  407. Wait, Alameda is apart of this... Was Sam paying Luna to get exclusive access to the arbitrage?
    1
  408. Protecting? You miss the massive fines and fraud charges?
    1
  409. Where most areas don't have internet?
    1
  410. Money launderers who want to obscure where the money came from.
    1
  411. I never heard of it before this video was published. No one pays attention to crypto ventures except a handful of people living in a bubble
    1
  412. Huge fines paid and charges pending
    1
  413. Valve just sucks as a company. Underpaid, overworked, losing money, trying to get rich quick.
    1
  414. That's mostly a product of normalized bribery, though
    1
  415. Richard Coffman (aka Plain Bagel), Ben Felix, and Patrick Boyle are all licenced to give financial advise... They also do not give stock picks. Richard even made a video showing how he's getting unsolicited offers to pump penny stocks, including one where he was offered 30 grand.
    1
  416. You probably have to pay more if the influencer knows it's a scam.
    1
  417. The really damning part about crypto gurus is Satoshi (Bitcoin's anonymous inventor) never intended it as an investment nor does he teach people how to trade it.

  418. Found the shoplifter

  419. If you could make 2% a day consistently, by the end of the year your net worth would be over a billion times greater than all the money in the world. Seriously. 102 to the 250th power is a number so big that a scientific calculator can't handle it, and take that number and move the decimal two places to the left and that's your yearly % return.
    1
  420. Some of them do.
    1
  421. All these memecoins are literal ponzi schemes even if they're not meant to be. People buy in, recruit more buyers, enriching themselves, repeat ad nauseum.
    1
  422. There's a lot of slang uses hanging around of all sorts.
    1
  423. This drama should be turned into a movie called The Lunacy.
    1
  424. Because they know people trying to do so will drive up the price
    1
  425. You know they've already paid huge fines and are subject to more?
    1
  426.  @Name-ot3xw  dude, you know that was settled out of court to avoid getting shut down, right?
    1
  427.  @Name-ot3xw  no, it doesn't as other charges are pending. BTW, how much have you lost with Tether so far?
    1
  428. How much did you lose?
    1
  429. Quality content doesn't come overnight.
    1
  430. Like 55 people
    1
  431. Some of these commenters are either part of this fool's cult following or the scammer himself with multiple accounts.
    1
  432. You'll lose it all soon enough.
    1
  433.  @leoperez2566  no. I don't. But I bet my life and yours that it will be so. If you want outsized returns, you'll have to get creative and not follow a mob.
    1
  434.  @leoperez2566  even if that's true, it's a clear sign of incompetence. And Tesla had a mob of fanboys from day 1.
    1
  435. That's why cartels often have pallets full of cash and nothing to do with them.....
    1
  436.  @hd9g  or just ban you from saying stupid stuff
    1
  437. 39:23 The life of a professional criminal is spending half their lives throwing parties every weekend, and spending the other half of their lives in jail
    1
  438. Yeah. They had a list of central bankers that Erdogan appointed and all the slightly competent ones said they couldn't afford Turkey's current spending. So Erdogan fired one after another until he appointed his own relatives who simply ran off. All of Turkey's gold/currency reserves have been stolen by some or all of the people mentioned and their solution is basically to issue death spiral debt.

  439. Libertarians and pirates are not the same. In fact, I know some of these gangsters that think regulation solves everything

  449.  @pepelozo  Like... You?

  450. Those guys aren't into any exotic schemes I know of

  451. You can see this on a daily basis on SPY trading groups. Everyone thinks they can outsmart the market...

  452. How much did you lose?
    1
  453. Whose side? He didn't touch GME. He's a quant. He invests with maths.

  454. Nah. These guys were largely other conmen who thought they could in before the hype and out before the crash

    1
  465. I have no idea who you're talking about, but most of the wealth on the internet is fake. Either they're making money by videos showing off money they don't have, or they really did make that much money in a one-off incident of internet fame that is impossible to repeat. Also, the people paying the ridiculous sums are usually ponzi schemers

  475. Also, compounding means a 2% a day return gives a yearly gain so big that a scientific calculator can't distinguish from infinity and a monthly gain of 164000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000%

  479. No. Most of the investors are also scammers. That's where all the sycophancy comes from

  480. I have no idea who you're talking about, but they're targeting rivals.

  481. Bonds and commercial paper aren't the same. Paper can usually be redeemed at any time and have low interest rates and littleif any collateral, bonds have years to maturity and the corporation itself backs it.

  482. I'm going to say it: Half that country is some kind of scammer or another.

  483. Some of these guys sold over a course of days probably because of the illiquidity of the coins.

  487. Uh... They really do interview Sam Bankman-Fried.

  488. They are. All cryptos are highly correlated to each other, all exchanges have incestuous relationships, and everyone depends on borrowed funds.

  489. 10:55 Sounds like SBF controlled that account but he knows he can't say that. All the money passed through his personal account on the way in, I think.

  503. You really think these idiots are willing to slowly set up shop now so the blitzscale at an opportune moment?

  506. You mean the influencers? Yeah, that's among the legit ways they get paid. Coffeyzilla, though, doesn't take sponsorships because it's a clear conflict of interest with his videos.

  511. He was right after the fact.

  512. To be fair, there are three or four YouTubers licensed to give financial advice. They don't promote this junk.
    1
  513. Coffee is an investigative journalist, dude. There are at least three YouTubers licensed to give financial advice. At least two doctors. Several biologists. Several physics and history teachers. The quality does vary wildly, though.

  514. Liars lose money.

  515. Most of the goons that get ripped off think they can outsmart the mob. These cons like to fantasize that people are stupid, leading to a scenario of cons conning cons.

  516. Sometimes I question whether Valve exists, but they did take down the bot hosts and add a few new things to TF2 every year because people still play it, but it's said all the work being done in TF2 is done by a single intern or similarly underpaid underqualified person.

  524. If you really think the game is rigged, invest in real world assets and manage them yourself. Buy a house to rent out. Raise rabbits. Lend family members cash. Don't whine about how your stock picks are hurt because of someone else.

  525. Note in the kidnapping case, the real threat was not over the internet, the real threat was someone who knew him in real life.

  530. On his channel he said most of his hedge fund career was spent reading and doing maths
    1
  531. He's been participating in ponzis and pyramid schemes his whole life. He won big in the tech bubble and flipping a sports team and that's how he got all of his money. He says he is the "luckiest man in the world."
    1
  532. Anyone else only find out about these schemes after they crash?
    1
  533. Those things are not related to each other. And commercial paper refers to IOUs issued by blue chip corporations that is sometimes treated like cash. And the US government does have the largest stash of gold and silver in human history, but mostly currency regulation is done by sallaried managers buying/selling bonds digitally.

  534. Some of it, likely. There were about 200 illiquid investment Sam had.

  535. Startups rip off VC firms all the time with this same method. Take equity funding, pay friends generous salaries, then when you run out money you simply close the firms and only rich chumps lose.

  536. A lot of it is. A lot of it is just degenerate weebs trying to outsmart the market.

  537. The banks that were hit were living in a bubble... In more than one way. Ordinary people don't need to worry about those chumps.

  544. But they've been caught lying so many times...
    1
  545. About how profitable these are: These are all the dishonest "entrapaneur" types that invariably lie about how rich they are. They're all probably telling you revenue, not profits, and they're only profitable until they get sued and lose everything to legal fees.

  546. We got to extradite this guy first

  547. The creator never intended them as an investment vehicle. But yeah, every investor with them can be divided into the hedgers (reducing exposure to conventional markets), the bookies (miners and exchange runners), the speculators (greater fool theory), and the pumpers (fraud).

  548. The SEC is busy blanket shutting down the crypto banks. Big dogs first

  553. Dear Coffeezilla, ever think of reviewing the DD of activist short sellers? There's places like Scorpion Capital that issue newsletters leveling fraud allegations against suspect companies and it's always a good read and often leads to real world charges.

  554. Murphy's law says that since it can happen to any of them, it will eventually happen to all of them.

  558. Robinhood tried to get FDIC insurance but couldn't, so they don't advertise that it is insured. In fact, their adds explicitly state you invest at your own risk.

  559.  @victordrew7927  Robinhood doesn't own their investor's stocks.
    1
  560.  @victordrew7927  the money in user accounts that isn't in a stock. Robinhood offers interest and debit cards like a bank, but they couldn't get FDIC insurance so they changed the name from Robinhood banking to cash management

  562. The defenders are also scammers

  563.  @olivialambert4124  The people who wine today, have been whining the entire time and would have wine regardless what the BBC printed. It's something Britain picked up from the US about how to treat large institutions.

  565. Of course calling them a hedge fund is a charitable way to describe it. Hedgies actually know what they're doing before they lose money...

  566. The average Hedge Fund is 4-5x leveraged from borrowing alone and they have whole teams of industry professionals and mathematicians.
