Sue the sec, gary genslar, and democrats for money laundering, theft of assets, etc
@Josh Starks democrats sent money to ukraine. Ukraine sent money to ftx. Ftx sent money to democrats. Money laundering
and republican they all got donations from sbf crypto and greed are bipartisan! facts.
@Marc Jones no republicans did not
Anything to take away the sting of your own stupidity and greed.
Where was the sec?!
If a celeb is hyping it up, anything at all, it should be looked at with egregious suspicion.
I knew Trevor promoting Subway was Fishy!!! Whats that QB know about good food
Now get mad at the camper ty the link it worked in 1980
Did it include any YouTuber channels being paid by FTX?
If not they should absolutely
Yes. Many channels were selling Crypto and NFT garbage through it.
Include Pomp pump on this. He should be focused on Bitcoin and has shilled all sorts of badcoins
It did because many of them deleted their accounts.
@WEV RIP Millennial Money scumbags
Can you Explain how beginners can make huge profit within a short period of time? I feel it’s the best time to get started on the market, heard some guy speaking of making over $3.5M within 4months of investing $450k. any suggestions pls
Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to MR. KORDUCKI for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account. Good earnings and little to no engagement at all on my part
@crypto Hulk Ok, just found his website, impressive, Thank you
Stop trying to get rich overnight geez
All scammers follow the same blueprint. Create a enemy, offer false hope to desperate people, present themselves as a savior then scam folks. Rinse and repeat.
Omg, you should have deposited in FTX exchange it’s too late now. You definitely missed the boat for a good reason. 😊
That plaintiff and that lawsuit is ridiculous… The only group liable for your situation is You, and FTX; Not those Celebrities.
You had no problem with the celebrities and their so called “Crimes” of FTX Promotion, when you were making money.
All of a sudden, now you wanna sue them… That’s like trying to Sue Tiger Woods, when your Buick breaks dwn.
Kick Rocks.
We are talking about financial loss here. They acted as financial advisers so they should be held accountable.
Sued all YouTuber promotes FTX+blockfi please 🙏
I agree. They should be held accountable as they acted as financial advisers.
Lessons learned. Do not listen to famous people for financial advise especially if they have no certifications about their financial expertise. I hope an action lawsuits be filed to those YouTubers who promoted this crap also.
Rumor is that SBF has cut his hair off and is wearing a wig. He may be headed to Russia or China.
He will most likely to go to a place without extradition.
They will grab him in the night. With a seal team.
GOOD claw back money from every youtuber and celebrity that shilled this scam
Tʜᴀɴᴋꜱ…ꜱᴇɴᴅ ᴍᴇ ᴀ ᴅɪʀᴇᴄᴛ ᴍᴇꜱꜱᴀɢᴇ ᴏɴ Wʜᴀᴛꜱᴀᴘᴘ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴛʜᴇ ɴᴜᴍʙᴇʀ ᴀʙᴏᴠᴇ📊📊
I agree. All who got paid to promote this crap should be held accountable as they acted impliedly as financial advisers under the law.
Billion dollar question: Where did 16+billion dollars go?
Epstein’s island?!
Bruh
Backdoor program, Israel
where’s Gary
Chapter 11 for crypto firms? If they don’t want to play by the books and follow regulations then why should they receive the protection after filing for bankruptcy?
Is a question value at $20 Billion
What’s your solution? A non-existent debtors’ prison? lmao
Exactly! They wanted to play outside the regulations and now when the poop hits the fan they want regulated protection.
Hold SBF’s donor recipient accountable! He gave millions to Biden and midterm-Dems!!
Here come the Clinton Sucides
At the very least, these celebrities and influencers, who received money to promote FTX, should return the money which rightfully belongs to the customers.
Although a drop in the bucket compared to the inevitable losses, I totally agree. If I am any one of the celebrity/corporate promoters, I am returning every single dime to the FTX receivers so that anyone losing anything on this scam at least gets my portion of what I gained. The whole thing is dreadful.
Would you want to use violence to force these people to give back the money?
Democrats you mean.
@Kenji Polk Audio That does pose a prickly problem because most of the politicians and charities that received donations from SBF will feel a lot of pressure to give it back to eliminate any chance of their involvement going further in people’s opinions.
People should simply stay away from all this stuff.
Some people actually believe the shills pushing this stuff.
The Bit Con Dot Bomb Saga continues
When I hear stories of people losing their life savings over this Fiasco, and people contemplating suicide this is very serious. We need to figure out what happened and where did this money vanish to. I am shocked that the major mainstream media has not even covered this in a much larger scope
Backdoor program, manipulated on purpose, this was planned all along.
The money went to Israel, you’ll see
Crypto is an unregulated market and FTX was based in the Bahamas outside of US investigative reach. The only thing they can get them on is for cross border rule violations. SBF gave millions to Dems and his co-CEO gave millions to GOP for the mid terms. They were buying influence to avoid regulations or be able to select CFTC as their regulator – the smallest of the regulatory body. But, crooks are crooks. Laws didn’t keep Enron, We Work or Theranos from happening. If something is too good to be true…it is.
@ElfKing I call them hot air.
I don’t feel sorry for any of them. Because they made the decision to trust them without investigation. All of the people losing their money are adults, they should have really think before they made the decision.
Much of the money is gone
Good luck!! Looool
If you’re going to promote a product you need to check on it first to see if it’s legit it’s called due diligence. Apparently these ambassadors and spokespersons didn’t do that they just took the money do the commercial and that’s it.
They don’t know nothing about that in a deeper manner curry brady shaq are professionnel sports person Gisèle is a mannequin lol
@Hova hahahaha
This yahoo people lie and don’t know what they talking about.
Lets hear more about the political aspects of the FTX/SBF implosion 😆
yeah I’m not gonna hold my breath. Hell, NECN didn’t even report it from all I could see
“Are you in?”
If SEC can charge Kim Kardashian, what it should do here?
Another miami hustle exposed ..what a shame
Add all the YouTube Financial Gurus like Meet Kevin, Andrei Jikh, Graham Stephan to the list. These scumbags pushed FTX to their audience on a daily basis, and pocketed millions in payments.
Hahahahaha, you were so happy when you earned such high interest and now claim the thing is unregistered?
Plus crypto youtubers who promotes ftx heavily
He has low ears and beady eyes,how can anyone have confidence in this guy
Should sue Democrats as well… SBF donated $40mill to them….
youtube promoters should be included too
Ooohhooooohoooooo /grabs 🍿
wow, great video.
SBF isn’t worried.
He’s a Democrat operative doing Democrat’s bidding.
Clearly, the “problem” is the nature of crypto… looks like government regulation (Democrat control and confiscation) is in order
Suspect inside job on where the money went….all of this….repeats itself over and over….a basic ponzi scheme….duh ….Greed…Greed….remember you reap what you sow…..everyone involved is looking for short cuts to success!…..there are no short cuts to success ….success is earned and never given!
Add Graham stephan to the list.
Don’t forget to add all of the YouTubers who promoted those links for their own personal financial gain!
As much as i would like to agree with you on that, i don’t think thats the right thing to do because you have to understand that they didn’t force us to join any of these exchanges. I lost over 30k in Voyager thing but i can’t honestly hold these youtuber responsible for it, the majority of the responsibility falls within ourselves.
‘Personal opinion’
Or you can take your own responsibility for your own actions. How about that. No one forces you to do anything.
Anyone who gets their investment advice from a You Tube influencer deserves to lose 100% of their investment.
@MsCardio1 true
@MingeShagger False advertising by wealthy people, yeah let them walk away to do it again. They support your opinion.
Mr. Wonderful is included… aka Kevin O’Leary… wow
Mr. Awful
The celebrities who endorsed this should be jailed
Yikes
Lmao, these idiots knew the risk with crypto. Now they want to cry and sue when they were just plain stupid?
Go after the YouTubers
Celebrities were paid to advertise a company. They have no legal liability for the fact that the company was doing fraudulent behavior that they weren’t aware of. Now, how about the ties between SBF and the SEC’s Gensler?
They all need to be in jail.
What about the Nelk Boys of Full Send Podcast and Jake Paul conning people to buy their BS crypto and NFT crap?
Remember folks, not your keys, not your coins. If you leave your money on a centralized exchange, you deserve to lose your money. The whole point of the crypto movement is to get away from fractional reserve banking and decentralization. Leaving it on a centralized exchange kind of defeats the purpose.
Once it’s value drops to zero, what difference does it make where it is stored?
Finally! Scam Bankrupt Fraud is getting his papers served!!! Go get him Boyz!!!
Sue Kevin’s @$$. He was the promoter and founder of scam.
Jail for sam the scammer. Nothing else.
Leave the GOAT Tom Brady out of this
Is there a scam Tom Brady hasn’t been in ? 🤣
Crypto money should be just banned outright. It’s just for scammers and crimes.
You invest with a special needs individual … how is he culpable. Anyone can see this guy cannot even shower regularly
Won’t these lawsuits get thrown out?
Are the Democrats going to return the $40 million in donations to FTX clients? Or come up with the same “donate funds to appropriate charity” horse crap? 😁
Folks will be losing lots of money $$ in the Crypto markets due to the crash on Crypto’s and lack of trading Education.Some just buy coins and move into trading without proper technical analysis to back their decisions.
I’m very sure! She’s mostly active on Wat’s Apk’ messenger with her details below….,

@Graham F Thanks 🤗
I would say that’s about 99.9% of posters here bitching about their losses.
finally – someone’s done something!
Oh boy. Here we go again. This class action suit is a joke. First of all, crypto is unsecured, unregulated uncensored in the US. The federal government doesn’t even know how to classify crypto: is it an asset, a commodity. And there is nothing there to embargo. There are no assets. Well maybe some property in the Bahamas and some computers. LOL. Crypto is worthless unless backed by the dollar and the dollars just ain’t there anymore. Ergo a scam and a ponzi scheme. Sorry you lose.
LOL Democratic Leadership! Nioce!
You know you could work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting thousands of dollars in a meme coin and now they are multimillionaires. Luckily for me I’m not bothered with how bad the Market is any longer bc my assets are well insured due to my day trading with an crypto expert and adviser “JOSEFTRADE” and I still receive my profits from 2BTC to 4BTC Weekly. 💰
My greatest fear as a trader is to lose money, but know losing money makes you learn more or step up your game, since i started using JOSEFTRADE signals, my Portfolio has been growing consistently..
Lately i have searched youtube for a pro trader to guide and provide me with accurate trading signals.. i will contact him, Thanks.
I believe this is the right time for every one to invest using Josef’s daily signals now that the crypto market is bearish I am a living testimony of his great strategy.
Nice info, i appreciate your concern this will help a lot especially to the young bitcoin investors who have no or lesser knowledge on how bitcoin market works.
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you’ll be ecstatic with the decision you made today..
FTX never had customers crypto, FTX had IOU for customers just like a Bank 😆
Should include YouTubers like meetkevin and Graham Stephen
Yes!
How about the youtubers who were paid to promote FTX?!?!
Lawsuits for the next 2 years…….
Ftx growing too quickly should of been a red flag up-front. You have to do your due diligence, learn and research when investing in crypto.
SBF looks like a slobby smart hacker too.
Ham – Cheese
Amazing video, I keep on getting $380,000 every week from a new trading platforms in town
Such information we don’t it get from most Youtubers, I am getting in touch with her right away
It has been awesome, really crypto is very frustrating.. I was astonishing how I made $71,380 with $14k after investing with Mrs Valerie Anne Yarvin.
Count me in,I’m placing my trades with Expert Valerie Anne Yarvin ASAP.
There is no doubt on what they are saying because Day trading is very profitable with Mrs Valerie Anne yarvin
I started with just 4thousand now earning upto 15thousand weekly,investing with Mrs Valerie Anne Yarvin has been what I recommend for everyone that I come across.
They all should be held accountable
Investigate and arrest NOW!!
Counterfeited stocks used to tokenize for a fortune and to hide short interest in Meme stocks and silver.
Nice. Those people should be accountable.
Bank man Fried is the SON OF MADORFF HAHAHA SO FUNNY.
I CAN SELL YOU AMERICAN DUMMIES REAL ESTATE ON JUPITER.. HAHAHA HAHAHA
Good for the one initiated the lawsuit!! Sue them all!! Ask Trump.
“There’s a sucker born every minute.”
If celebrities are to be liable, the same should apply to any social media influencer like the self proclaimed financial gurus in Youtube who got paid but have not disclosed the payment made to them nor their incentive for promoting FTX. They just mentioned they are sponsored by FTX but didn’t disclose how much and their motivation. Violating the IAA (offering investment advice illegally) carries with it a fine up to $10,000 and up to 5 years in federal prison, as outlined in § 217. Notice this is ‘and’ not ‘or’, meaning you could face both the financial fine and the prison time.
Suing a ponzi scheme… a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pans out.
Is there a scam Tom Brady hasn’t been in ?🤣
Repeat after me: FTX didn’t type in your debit card. FTX didn’t focus you to download their app.
Ako ə ovoj prestavyva. Daso nee
Death penalty for SBF. seems reasonable
The MSM is REALLY downplaying the worst financial crime in the history of the country.
The Millionaire Celebrities may not pay any money in this suit…but they will pay some hefty legal fees..
So will Bianance and other platform soon have external auditor /independent regular auditing and public reporting soon too?
11 years in prison like Elizabeth Holmes. Promoting something that doesn’t exist.
Whispers getting louder arrest warrants imminent for SBF and Caroline, developing at Reuters.
Will Mr Not So Wonderful face criminal liability?
