This video is an opinion and in no way should be construed as statements of fact. Scams, bad business opportunities, and fake gurus are subjective terms that mean different things to different people. I think someone who promises $100K/month for an upfront fee of $2K is a scam. Others would call it a Napoleon Hill pitch.

So should he be beat more, to make sure he's really sorry? Get a grip Edit: alright, fellas, that's enough. You seem to be under the impression that I somehow condone the scammer. I don't. I think he deserves to be punished. I think he should be put in jail and stripped of every penny. But I also don't condone his kidnappers, who, you know, kidnapped and tortured him! Call me crazy, but this isn't right. If we saw fit to beat up (or kill, as some people are saying) anyone who's done wrong we'd have anarchy. How would you feel if this happened to you? What if someone abducted and tortured you or your family? Now, that's not to say you and him are equally guilty, but why should we take it into our own hands? I understand that the legal system isn't working to get this guy put away, but to resort to congratulating these psychopaths? That's too far. Everyone involved here should go to jail and forgotten about.

Coffeezilla is basically out here holding these scammers accountable more than our own justice system.

[@nathangaspacio6128]

I would say the fault is more on the government than the justice system. Police can't investigate/arrest guys unless what they commit is actually a crime. Judges, lawyers, and courts have to work within the confines of legislation and the regulatory powers at be. The regulators on this stuff shouldn't be 80-year-olds who don't know what they're talking about, who keep letting this stuff slide without making it a crime. I will say though one major flaw with our justice system that has always existed is the fact that these crypto guys can hire teams of highly skilled lawyers with infinite funds

[@KiotheCloud]

​@@nathangaspacio6128i mean same goes with big companies they can just hire good lawyers that put the positivity on court on their side meanwhile all over social media so many people researched and even showed evidence say otherwise and yet the big companies still manage to win the case due to "technical terms" aka.

[@jjnn2]

They need to go to jail too, you know. There's such a thing as having no good guys Edit: alright, fellas, that's enough. You seem to be under the impression that I somehow condone the scammer. I don't. I think he deserves to be punished. I think he should be put in jail and stripped of every penny. But I also don't condone his kidnappers, who, you know, kidnapped and tortured him! Call me crazy, but this isn't right. If we saw fit to beat up (or kill, as some people are saying) anyone who's done wrong we'd have anarchy. How would you feel if this happened to you? What if someone abducted and tortured you or your family? Now, that's not to say you and him are equally guilty, but why should we take it into our own hands? I understand that the legal system isn't working to get this guy put away, but to resort to congratulating these psychopaths? That's too far. Everyone involved here should go to jail and forgotten about.

I really hope the legal system steps up and starts SERIOUSLY going after scammers, because if they do their jobs and put big criminals behind bars, everyone will be better off. And if they don't, a lot of people will agree that vigilante justice is better than none. Apparently that means the police have to put in some work anyway to arrest the vigilantes, and the scammers would probably prefer life behind bars to being a loose end that gets tied up.
