exposing the hawk tuah scam

[@coffeezillaextras]

HAWK TUAH LAWYER RESPONSE: “I watched the video. Just to clarify-the 50% of net proceeds mentioned was from the allocation of tokens (10%, locked for one year, with 3-year vest thereafter). And wouldn’t be realized until if/when she sold them. Out of her 50% she would have to pay her non-crypto team too, so in reality, she would likely only hold 3.5% of the tokens withdrawn (if at all) on the above schedule.”

Unfortunately it’s a super common practice- tons of shell companies are incorporated in the caymans for a handful of reasons, none of them good.

[@TheBaldOne]

That's one of the problems, the shame. If people were more open about talking about it maybe "normies" wouldn't fall for this. I was scammed for 5k in a "pension fund" whose fees were more than the liquidity it could do - even in the best possible scenario. At the time I didn't know anything about pension funds, I was in a new country looking for something to start up my savings and was contacted by a "financial adviser" who took me out for coffee and stuff and showed me all the graphs with growth and stuff, but failed me to show the small print, and me being naive didn't read it properly too. It was only after 10 months in - and around 5k deposited - that I started to look around online and saw that there were tons of complaints about that particular fund and that company about that practice. Basically it was not a "pension fund" but was being sold as one, obviously the company denied this when I closed the account and attributed it to the advisor who are all contractor salesmen and get paid commissions, so it's in their interest to sell more and more funds. One of the caveats of this account, that was explained to me at the time to be honest (but you think, "it's a pension fund I'm not going to cash it before that") was that in the first 5 years I couldn't stop putting money in (or even reduce payments) and only could cash out 50% after that losing the rest, so either I would double down or take a hit and those 10 month deposits were basically gone. I decided obviously to cut my losses because there was no way I could break out even, the fees each year would eat into my earnings, so basically my money would grow very little after fees and I would end up cashing out only 50% of what I put in. I now tell this to everyone that moves here, be careful with cold calls from financial advisors, I some ignored my advice, but some did their due diligence and noped out. I know now that this sounds unbelievable, how could someone have fallen for this, but bear in mind that I came from a small and poor country where pension funds are not even a thing, the guy was well spoken, nice, friendly, and extremely accommodating. He felt like my friend in a new country where I was alone, that's what scammers do. I was very ashamed at the time, even embarrassed and if not for my wife I don't think I would have the courage to speak to anyone.

This is why crypto needs better oversight and regulation, though I’m not sure that’s going to happen anytime soon. It just really goes against basic human nature to not learn from such serious mistakes and continue repeating them. Edit: Also, I’m not accepting Zilla’s new investor ignorance reasoning.

@@Loudest_Cricket_ Genuine question, how were investors expecting the coin to increase in value? Who’s buying this stuff?

[@Loudest_Cricket_]

@@007bbox Its a "pump-and-dump." The value is artificial. There is no value. Though, one could very easily argue that there is no real value in any token.

fr fr, Coffezilla is cooking. He is exposing those frauds, especially that brainrot tuah girl, she was never funny in the first place. She and the representative's responses on the twitter space was awful, it says a lot. They knew what they were doing, which was to rug pull crypto scam to make millions. I hope the victims get their money back and get the justice they deserve.

It's great that there are people out there like you who will take the time to expose this kind of thing. Nice work. First time seeing your channel and really enjoyed it.

[@Astartes-6969]

It's the fact that not only Hailey, but everyone in that call was unwilling to take accountability or just denied the evidence. I hope Hailey, the other guy telling Coffee to chill, and everyone else goes to jail. It's time for the feds to stop these Rug Pulls. I hate when Governments get involved, but these people are literally stealing from others. Keep up the good work Coffeezilla.

​@@maheshseetaram1654 absolutely, at some point this needs to be on the morons buying these tokens too

[@RefusedToGive]

The big problem with like crypto scams to me is that like all the victims are scammers themselves, buying and selling a crypto token is like already a scam. It's a security with no underlying asset. It's a fraudulent object as such. Anyone who bought it and thus "got their money stolen" was trying to steal more money from someone else later.

[@QuantumNetwork]

Unfortunately there’s good and bad, the whole point of crypto is for it to be decentralised and not controlled by the higher ups but also these crypto scams are disgusting and surely there’s another way to prosecute these low lives

"Setting up a foundation in the Cayman Islands" had me rolling. I believe their national flag is pure red. This guy was doing such stereotypical hard sell tactics mixed with cult recruitment tactics it was hilarious. While I don't think it eliminates her culpability I don't think she understood what she was putting her name to.

[@GundamWang69]

not sure you will ever see this, but i’m an attorney. i do civil litigation now, but used to work in asset protection. when someone talks about a “foundation,” they would likely be right when saying no one owns the foundation. what you should be asking, is who are the TRUSTEES, and who are the BENEFICIARIES of the foundation. the trustee runs the foundation, and the beneficiaries are the recipients of whatever assets the foundation has. the foundation/trust model is a classic form of asset protection and “tax management” - it lets you benefit from assets without directly owning them. i am betting hawk tuah girl is a beneficiary of the foundation.
