So one, I have been in this space for quite some time. I have invested and lost, and I have invested and won. This is just how the game is played and people should be to accept that as long as they are NOT misled. I am fortunate that I didn't buy in because of Max rather the community that was supposedly supporting it but that is not the case with the majority. Sadly we can't put a number on the people (young/old) alike that have been baited into this coin. It's pathetic really...
I am not exactly sure how people were drawn into this guy unless they are stoners or have no sense either. I get that the population as a whole isn't as intelligent as they were 20 years ago but jesus christ this guy, his laugh, his deceiving ways are plastered all in his posts. If he knocked on your door and tried to sell you something (dressed the way he dresses, talking the way he talks, laughing the way he laughs, spouting his sob story about how he made 20k a month with ads and lots it due to Google) would you still buy it? Here in Florida we have young children that walk door to door with plastic bins selling candy and magazines and they have a much better reputation than this guy.
He may actually believe all the garbage he is spewing but at the same time what does he have to lose after he bought in on the coin at .05 cents US and sold high? He made his money so to protect whatever reputation he has, he's staying in. "Road to hell is paved with good intentions" right? Scamming people isn't good intentions. Lying, misleading, however you want to slice the cake it's still lying, scamming, and misleading. And people like that need to be found and have their ass kicked on live television. Make an example out of them on live TV so others think twice before doing it to someone else. I don't give a shit if he puts a disclaimer in his video that sais "it's not financial advice" he knowingly took advantage of a lot of people. And while this Cryptosphere maybe not regulated by the government a swift ass beating isn't exactly out of the question. For people that lost thousands, whats an extra 1000 for bail money? ;) This individual claims this was all a test, an experiment, to see if he could raise the price. If that was the case, why did he profit so much from it. If it was just an experiment it would seem he would give the funds back to those who lost out.
Now, let's ask ourselves something here. If "ChainCoin, Chain Coin" is so great why does Max Lee and his other scammers suppress freedom of constructive criticism? Everywhere you go people are trying to express their concerns and Max Lee and his other compadres shoot them down before they can get a conversation going. One of his videos he tells folks to "shut up" when asked about future developer interaction. Others in his party (mods) on his chat tell people that the DEVELOPERS have been contacted and are active in getting the community back right now! The GITHUB hasn't been touched in sometime, there has been no DEV interaction with the public in 3 months, the road map is null and void at least at the time of this writing, so is this why Max is SUPPRESSING? I understand that with 50,000,000 market caps and the all of a sudden interest that the DEVS would want to get in. Why? Well, they can claim they are developing, get the price up a bit and dump the shit out of their coins. This is speculation of course as I can't tell the future but it is a viable outcome is it not? I mean, if Max Lee did it and can blame it on an experiment then suppress your concerns on various social media platforms.. well you do the math.
I lost a grand in it but I was prepared for it. Others have lost a lot more and were not prepared. The unethical youtube posts, the blocking of constructive criticism, and the ass hole nature in which he does it openly? That needs to be dealt with. Sadly legally nothing can be done for the fraud it looks like he has committed. Chalk it up as a lesson learned...
I want to give a shout out to KingOfDew https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV7ea1xPeI2pCOgwQqPSfxw for also doing a good post on ChainCoin and the faults that it has. If you have not listened to his channel, you need to check it out. Also Louis Thomas https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV7ea1xPeI2pCOgwQqPSfxw is another kick ass channel. Crypt0 is okay but is a bit too liberal for me. Plus it's 3 minutes of listening to who gave him this or you need to buy that... don't have time for that. KingOFDew and Louis have very good intentions and aren't being manipulated by anyone in the back ground.
As usual thank you for viewing. This is just a venting place for me to blog lol... IF you up vote, please let me thank you in advance. If not, I understand too. Have a kick ass day!
