FULL TRANSCRIPT

0:01

wow I wanted to quickly address what's

0:03

going on with Celsius and the arrest of

0:06

the uh founder and CEO uh Alex and

0:09

mashkin Sky who's raised billions of

0:12

dollars for obviously Celsius and I

0:15

wanted to break down a little bit of

0:16

what's going on uh so we don't have all

0:18

the details of the lawsuit yet but we do

0:21

expect uh that one of the reasons for

0:23

the issuing of the lawsuit is that

0:25

Celsius alleged that their earned

0:28

program was basically just a higher

0:31

yield banking deposit feature and that

0:34

your deposits were safe but it turns out

0:37

the deposits that you made into the

0:39

Celsius crypto program were just used to

0:44

buy Celsius token and then that would

0:47

pump the value of a Celsius token and

0:49

ultimately lead to the opportunity to

0:52

pay these higher yields basically a

0:56

Ponzi scheme where money coming in is

0:59

helping pay for money that's going going

1:01

out and the only reason you actually

1:04

continue to have money coming and

1:06

payments to people is because more

1:07

people are depositing money but at some

1:09

time at some point in the free market a

1:12

Ponzi falls apart an apology is

1:14

generally reliant on people lying about

1:16

what's actually happening and this makes

1:19

me remember the days of interviewing the

1:22

CEOs of companies like Voyage or digital

1:24

or block five whom quite frankly if I

1:27

was the CEO of blockfire Voyager and I

1:29

had been one of those people which

1:30

obviously not well we'd be like oh my

1:33

gosh you might be next that I'd be like

1:35

trembling and be like oh my gosh we

1:36

might be nice because what happens is

1:37

when you have this unregulated type of

1:39

marketplace everybody has to compete

1:42

with everyone and obviously the company

1:43

offering the highest yields is probably

1:45

going to get most of the deposits so for

1:47

you to compete you also have to become a

1:49

Ponzi it's almost all of them were just

1:51

ponzis possibly with the exception of

1:53

coinbase coin this has its own problems

1:55

we'll see uh but this a Ponzi collapsing

1:58

through a bank run basically it would

2:00

deposit with all run is away the free

2:03

market solves ponzis the problem is it

2:06

comes with a lot of pain and many many

2:08

people losing a combined billions of

2:10

dollars the allegations include the fact

2:13

uh or I should say the allegation uh

2:16

that cell token was a fraudulent scheme

2:20

to essentially mislead investors or

2:24

depositors that Celsius did not make

2:27

uncollateralized loans or engage in

2:30

Risky activity like trading and the

2:33

interest paid on investors or two

2:35

investors represented eighty percent of

2:37

the company's Revenue all of those ended

2:39

up being false they weren't paying out

2:41

revenues they were paying out other

2:43

people's deposits they were engaging in

2:45

Risky trading and they were making loans

2:48

if you type in meet Kevin stablecoin

2:51

collapse coming the biggest warnings

2:53

that I made as early as January of 2021

2:56

it was very very early on the stable

2:58

coins the base warning that I made is

3:00

how how many loans are being made on

3:03

these stable coins this is going to

3:05

collapse I personally made the mistake

3:08

thinking the institutions would be okay

3:10

like the block by the Voyager or

3:11

whatever would be okay that they would

3:13

survive and that the stable coins would

3:14

collapse but it was the reverse it was

3:16

actually the brokerages that collapsed

3:18

and not the same coin so like everybody

3:19

was like totally blindsided by this uh

3:22

and it was only until the collapse

3:24

started some of these things became more

3:26

and more apparent uh and as a result

3:28

here now what do you have well the

3:30

unsustainable yields at Celsius leading

3:33

now to our lawsuits by not only uh the

3:37

SEC but the cftc Federal Trade

3:41

Commission I mean multiple different

3:42

lawsuits here the person's been arrested

3:45

for criminal fraud charges uh the the

3:47

earn programs were total scam and I mean

3:50

again in hindsight it's not a surprise

3:52

it seems too good to be true probably is

3:54

ready to go let's go then uh then it

3:56

probably is but boy oh boy how Wild that

3:59

this arrest in my opinion is probably

4:02

going to be the start of many and quite

4:04

frankly it's probably a good thing

4:06

because the more you get these criminals

4:10

charge like Sam bakeman freed or

4:13

otherwise the less likely this stuff is

4:15

to happen again in the future or so we

4:18

hope anyway I gotta take off so I'll see

4:21

you all the next one remember two weeks

4:23

to the expiring coupon code thanks so

4:25

much for your support we'll see you all

4:27

in the next one bye
