The Trading ‘Cult’ Separating Children From Their Families | Cowboy Kings of Crypto

“You’re going to get rich! Your parents won’t understand! Nor will your friends! You are a visionary who is aligned with today’s times!”
Chris Terry, the elusive founder of the IM Academy, certainly knows what his audience wants to hear. Accused of brainwashing and being the first-ever crypto cult, many feel that IM Academy is actually a global pyramid scheme using cryptocurrency as a dangerous lure to suck in and squeeze money out of the world’s wide-eyed youth, selling dreams of both easy wealth and membership in a new world order?
In May of 2022, eight members of the Spanish chapter of the organization were arrested for fraud, misleading advertising, psychological coercion, the enticement of minors, and criminal organization. Will this Spanish scandal bring down the crypto cult or is it merely a speed bump on Christopher Terry’s road to riches.
This episode of Cowboy Kings of Crypto was made in 2022.

How are people in 2024 still falling for these 💀💀💀.

[@rks5457]

I used to think the same but people are more susceptible than ever before. People are hurting right now in both finances and purpose. The economy is bad, future is bleek and the internet and social media has allowed for niche "interests/ideas" to take over. Fringe groups like this prey on people who are at places in life where they are weak and aimless. You'd think people are less likely due to being able to research something but know that "researching" is exactly what they're doing. Know that there are dissenting opinions on everything and we who think we wouldn't fall for this also listen to dissenting opinions that go against the grain all the time.

Lol at these poor simpletons thinking there is a magic pill that will allow you to become rich. Nah, you just save more than you spend, it is just that simple. If you can "only" save something like 1000$/month or less then it might take two generations for your family tree to become rich. But as long as you save (and invest it in extremely risk averting way) you aren't losing it in pyramid schemes and other scams and your family tree will at some point be able to live off the interest and dividends.

Because money has taken over our society and fellow people harder than ever before. The kid at the start of this video literally provides no value to this world. He has a "Money Tree", his beads don't promote individual emotions or spiritual prosperity (as lame and stupid as spiritual prosperity sounds) they are "Business Promotion" Beads. I am not saying everyone has to provide value, thats dumb, but he solely exists for money. All this to say is that money is not fulfilling. I WANT to be rich, but even if I had a billion dollars I would still feel unaccomplished because I HAVE DONE NOTHING. I'd be happy sure but unfulfilled. These athletes have grinded their entire life to get that money, old people generally worked most of their life to become wealthy afterwards, the reality of young rich people (not born into it) is a scam, it happens but its like the NBA, its so rare it probably won't happen, and definitely not through a course. The real problem is however that when it doesnt work out you are not left with a genuine work ethic or experience that you can apply to your next goal. It was just that you did not make money, or you did, but either way you are unfufilled because you truly know you did nothing for anyone on the earth

How do most of you guys still make profit, even with the downturn of the economy and ever increasing life standards

[@Scott-qwer]

Well, I picked the challenge to put my finances in order. Then I invested in cryptocurrency, stocks, through the assistance of my discretionary fund manager

Mrs Nancy Williams Laplace

[@dagame614]

This is correct, Nancy's strategy has normalized winning trades for me also and it’s a huge milestone for me looking back to how it all started..

[@-vv3rv]

Nancy is considered a key Crypto Strategist with one of the best copy Trading Portfolios and also very active in the cryptocurrency space.

I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $21k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.

[@thechindiantrader]

as a lone trader myself, groups are just pigeons. always fly together to eat cause they're weak creatures. a true trader knows what's the game like, and who are we playing with or against. the time taken to master the skillset, the personalised trading style, the mindset cannot be taught or inherit but nurture thru time like water sharpening the stone

[@beckybnyc322]

New traders look for mentors to learn from & sadly many fall for these trade “communities”

[@sp33dou]

rofl. Get a job :D

[@julieamo3847]

There's always someone out there willing to take advantage of others at any cost.

The integration of Revux into mainstream payment gateways is a strategic move with significant potential. Well done!

Kids wanting easy money and no hard work.

Its 2024, if youre still scammed by this type of stuff then you should have been pushed out of the nest.

[@JarrodMedrano]

There's an old saying a sucker is born every day

[@kavinsky2]

I see you're not familiar with the concept of experience. You are not born with it. This is why they target the youngest people possible. Old people fall for different scams, that have been around for decades, and they were kicked out of the nest long ago. You have without a doubt fallen for scams aswell, and you will again in life, even if you are too dumb to understand it.

[@AmanRajpoot-pg3lt]

Revux's commitment to a transparent fee structure is refreshing. No hidden costs - just what the crypto community needs!

[@leonardhitz7855]

im not exited, IM blessed

[@pullupina]

While there are some teens stuck with mobile phones and broken lifestyle. It is the parents sometimes, a high class phone should not even be given to a minor

[@TTOS69]

These kids literally get scammed on purpose to get attention on social media. Its obvious with alot of them.

[@snooganslestat2030]

If it was illegal we wouldn't do it. Of course, thats why there are zero murders! 🙄

[@Riasat202]

These people don't even understand the basics of investing.

[@DizPlin]

Do you know how frustrating it is to sell an honest course after all these scam artists?! I've spent almost a year writing what I feel to be something that can actually teach you how to trade under a strict, disciplined manner - only to get 1 sign up in the past 30 odd days. Mainly because people look at it and probably think I'm just like the majority of these other scammers. It's awful man! Depressing as heck! All I want to do is teach others the same way I learnt, and I charge a fraction of what all these "guru's" charge and they prefer to purchase from a fake than someone who is literally trying to help you, for a fraction of the price?! Hopefully people will notice me a bit more down the line. Thanks for shedding light on these kinda people though, it really helps the little guy out there!

[@wastedaudio4565]

Just looked up your course, looks really good! Watched the free module on your website and purchased your course. Always happy to help out the little guy 😉

[@Skylyned]

Never heard of this. Is this a black thing?

[@rayeiswriting4372]

People should remember the wise words “Life is pain. Anyone telling you different is trying to sell you something”.

Thank you. Next: The Cult Of Scientology. Yes, again. and again,and again!

[@moonbeammoonbeam5739]

I'm glad I have a sceptic mindset to a point... get rich quick mentality never ends well.

[@ek6007]

The founder designed his cap to have the IM Academy logo off to the side, allowing it to show straight above his forehead and have the bill of the cap angled back and to the side. Absolute genius. Sign me up!

[@LnNineteen]

Hell yeah how do I join?! 😂

[@hillpunk92]

i hate greed...

[@SayySooFlyy]

I should’ve put my ig on there!

[@tamaraclaw]

Waiting to see Chris Terry on American Greed

[@KevinBullard]

So much wisdom in these young people it's a kind of inspiring

[@tyh.rodriguez7300]

It’s funny the first ad was Grant Cardon saying a lot of the same stuff ROTFL LOL

[@lolife1981]

IM Academy saved my life. Thanks Chris Terry!

[@Adamsmith090]

IML isn’t a scam. It’s a recruitment company under the MLM umbrella. Completely legal. Don’t hate the company, hate the regulators that say it’s okay.

[@CellarPhantom]

I feel like there are more trader groups than ever right now. "Leaders" that advertise and recruit people to their group using a specific trade site, and that leader real goal is just to recruit as many as possible to use that site. That how they make money. Recruitment. Not by making their followers rich. But they use the "get rich" motivation to trick people into the recruitment. It's all over the place, not only in crypto.

[@sgtbaker2072]

Way to not link to Carles channel, Vice. Well done.
