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.

He was on Lex Friedmans pod and JRE so he's being pushed further into the spotlight. This to got me thinking. One of the last things he said in this video is that crypto needs to be regulated. Governments around the world are already working towards or implementing CBDC's, central bank backed digital currency. It's obvious that no government will allow a competing currency against their national currency so what if Coffee is exposing all these scams so people will be more willing to accept CBDC's and not protest when every other crypto currency is made illegal. You can't create your own currency that challenges the dollar so why would anyone believe the FED would allow a crypto currency that challenges the FED coin? There's a possibility that Coffee is serving a purpose and that would help explain his sudden explosion in popularity and invention onto the biggest pods in America.

@@mrtoad1408 part of it also come from the "community model". When "investors" able to know about and communicate with their peers, there's a perceived feeling of shared risk and reward. The illusion is that as the community grew larger, the risk of failing get smaller while at the same time the potential rewards get bigger.

[@j-rexentertainment7246]

White collar financial crimes just aren’t persecuted as hard as middle class or lower class crimes because its harder in a capitalist society to go against individuals with lots of money who can strategically drag a defense out against the federal justice system which is already slow and don’t have their resources fully focused. This is why journalists like Coffeezilla are so important, if you can out a scammer publicly on a legitimate platform it helps warn and educate the public about a criminal. It’s like warning people about a sophisticated serial killer that the police can’t catch. When authority fails us we must take our financial security into our own .
