Regarding the age of consent tweet, even with the most benign interpretation they are completely off base. In most jurisdictions, a child cannot decide without consent from their legal guardians to go to some remote island.

[@abhorrentweeaboo4104]

Some countries have lower AOC for example in Europe the average is usually 16 in some south American countries it goes from 15 to 16 so the tweet might be refering to people from those countries. But then again how many teenagers are crypto millionaires Let alone interested in investing? You could probably count it on your hand Something is definitely Sus about that tweet.

[@Warfoki]

@@abhorrentweeaboo4104 There are even lower ones, if memory serves, in my country (still Europe), the universal AOC is 14, but if all participants are below 14, then it goes down to 12. So, teenagers doing the dirty so to speak is pretty normal here, nobody bats an eye if some 15 or 16 old already had sex. With that being said, the tweet is still shady af, because pedos often use that line of logic to somehow convince themselves that preteen little kids in the single digit age group can consent...

[@clownworld5474]

I doubt the island will be outside the law of Fiji. Yeah they 'bought the island' but I'm sure Fiji will retain legal authority over the island. That said it's probably a moot point as it will never happen anyway

[@ultimamage3]

If a parent still has to sign a permission slip to authorize a school to take their child on a field trip to a museum, a remote island is completely out of the question. But yeah, that tweet is incredibly sus considering they didn't provide that initial context the first time around, the question was AOC _within_ Cryptoland, not _to go to_ Cryptoland, and mental maturity would have nothing to do with going to a location out of home.

For me personally, lying about your team is a MAJOR problem and the biggest. You're either putting people's name on a project who are no longer affiliated or is in a very minor way. Thats crazy deceptive and should be a major red flag to any investor that they do not have nearly enough experienced staff to pull this off. Lying about the staff is a major problem because to an investor, let's say they told me for this project they had a leading architect that I'm well aware of and knows they do great work only to find out they maybe took some consulting work for them but is otherwise not involved in the project. I would be fuming and demanding my money back because the person or people I'm expecting to work on this project was falsely represented to me. Just like that any trust in the company is gone. You CANNOT lie about who is in your company and how much experience you honestly have on your team. Your staff is the key to the project. Without it your project is dead in the water.

[@egoalter1276]

As it happens, buying an island in some third world shithole is relatively cheap, comparable to buying agricultural land per area. However constructing buildings takes actual laboir and resources, and who woulda thunk, costs actual money. Even in third world shitholes, because people with marketable skills, and heavy equipment, such as that needed for construction, is still valuable evwn in a shithole, and wont be priced aignificantly lower. And even if you opt for building the place out of flimsy prefabs, to look like some second rate east european music festival, you have to buy transport, set up, and maintain that equipment. And then you didnt even conaider shit like having emergency personell on standby, or security, or hell, even catering, or cleaning. Hell, I would be sceptical of such a project, if it came from people with experience in organising shit like this, and being centrally funded. This is worse than a joke, because some people took it seriously.

They didn't scam any rich gullible frat bros

[@youtube-kit9450]

It's crypto. You have to put in literally zero effort to scam someone.

[@Mrawfulgamer]

i for one can not wait for them to take any single person to court that means we will be able to get hold of all there documents and find out in court what is real and what is a lie

[@m.ccheddarbox874]

It blows my mind people honestly think if your opinion is different you're just a hater. To be a "hater" you have to be jealous, yet.. there is nothing to be jealous of.

[@oliver_twistor]

Absolutely amazing. Thanks for covering the shitshow for us, Kira!

[@fandred2352]

Whats even funnier is that Carlos tried the same recently selling NFT´s of the video he appeared in. However he doesnt own that video. Happened in h3h3´s interview/podcast with him. He called him out on that and shortly after had to cancel the whole NFT thing and give the money back. It was hilarious.

[@dedbytes2041]

Hired an independent contractor to make some art. Part of the team!

[@Vasthrae]

I'm not sure how you did it, but I'm addicted to these types of videos now. Keep up the amazing work.

[@KirKanos01]

After all of this infos there is only to say one thing "to the moon!"

[@Christopher_S]

This is actually crazy. This comes across as a very shady cash grab. From my perspective, they deserve all the criticism they're getting right now.

[@robertplatt1693]

The coin has had his nose punched in many many times.

Cryptoland: Do yOuRr OwN rEsEaRcH!?!?! People with Intelligence: So…you have declared war

[@TheDontletmedie]

I forgot when I found your channel but I'm glad I ran across it. I like how you show the receipts (metaphorically) with everything you say. I'll be here for as long as you produce content.

[@macplow2234]

This is one helluva rabbit hole.

[@faizalsyamsul]

The whole situation is so bad that I don’t mind teaming up with Carlos Matos to bring these people down lol

[@gilolaes4725]

Arya Realty about to come and get in on this sweet Cryptoland Action. I cannot WAIT

[@6581punk]

4:58 The wink is like the Monty Python "nudge nudge" sketch. Nudge nudge, wink wink say no more.

[@tuff-knorf4561]

Lol, the patheticness and incompetence is in every single thing these scammers do.

[@brianm.595]

They aren't going to sue because they would have to reveal who they are publically.

[@321Leviathan]

thanks for these videos Kira, this rabbit hole is going to be a blast to go down. Have a good day bro.

[@algi1]

16:56 So, the thing about using that guy's likeness is that almost everything I saw from them was virtual, except one thing: the Bitconnect pinball machine looked super real. So, how on earth did they make a whole pinball machine without checking the rights?

[@douglasdoherty9057]

I get the feeling they thought they could get away with it under some sort of parody law.

[@ahniandfriends123]

I saw another video about cryptoland and the poster noted that the pinball machine used in the ad was actually an Iron Maiden machine. That machine had a similar layout to the "Bitcoinnneeeect" machine, even down to the placement of the flashing tile stickers and sphinx target (in the animated "Bitcoinnneeeeect" version, the skull face on the sphinx was replaced with the Bitcoin symbol.)

[@algi1]

@@ahniandfriends123 Wow, that's super interesting.

[@uppsie]

the fact that it's not a scam and they are genuinely trying to do this makes it worse

[@jenaf3760]

wait so this was NOT a satire project??? holy fuck, mind blown.

[@bandit7672]

Yep. They're just really stupid scammers feeding on even more stupid cryptobros.

[@d.5432]

And I thought it couldn't get better after seeing all the stuff with earth 2, but this man, this is a whole new level. Even the Fyre festival put more work into their project then these people did. Holy shit

[@Mysticgamer]

I want them to threaten someone with litigation, only for the person to be an experienced lawyer or related to one and have them call their bluff. I want them to have to explain this without marketing jargon.

[@GabbieTheFox]

Houg Law?

[@DeimosXVX]

Stuff like this reinforces my distaste for Cryptocurrency. This whole Cryptoisland saga comes across as something Peter Molyneux would of come up with (or even an Alan Partridge skit).

[@thematic3893]

I love when you pull these peoples skirts up and expose them for their nonsense Kira. Puts the fear of having empty pockets in them. Keep it up mate! 🤣

[@zipperneckfronkenstein3364]

Oh good, this decade needed a new Fyre Festival to watch collapse in on itself.

[@rewking2317]

It's-a-me!... Nakamura san from Nintendo Legal... Ya!Hooo!

[@jacobturnerart]

I'll stick with my prediction that it's all a Bioshock origin story.

[@phillipmitchell2254]

Man this is gonna get more hilarious than Earth 2 by far

[@flare0080]

The pinball machine in the Cryptoland video is the Iron Maiden Legacy of the Beast machine and Eddie, a copyrighted character, is shown. Can someone get in touch with the band so we can have it removed?

[@skupipup]

"Do your research." "No not like that"

[@Comedymakesmelaugh7]

Ngl the initial Cryptoland reveal had me thinking it was just some big, high effort shitpost/parody. But now I see it's real and I am no longer laughing. I feel only despair.

[@teadreamin9827]

Wow, thanks for bringing this story to us despite the threats. Very enjoyable listening to you relating it to us. :)

[@MisterNightfish]

Fair use is even broader than you'd think, based on common sense. If you look at the case of Sargon vs Akilah, regardless of what you might think of either of those, that held up in court and it was just unedited footage.

[@garypatterson2857]

A final and pretty minor point - the island of Nananu i-Cake is close enough to the Fiji mainland that the picture shown of the lonely island surrounded by water is a photoshop job. You'd see the Fiji mainland looming very large in the image. But that's one small lie in a bag of much larger ones.
