Celsius CEO *ARRESTED* PONZI SCHEME!
FULL TRANSCRIPT
wow I wanted to quickly address what's
going on with Celsius and the arrest of
the uh founder and CEO uh Alex and
mashkin Sky who's raised billions of
dollars for obviously Celsius and I
wanted to break down a little bit of
what's going on uh so we don't have all
the details of the lawsuit yet but we do
expect uh that one of the reasons for
the issuing of the lawsuit is that
Celsius alleged that their earned
program was basically just a higher
yield banking deposit feature and that
your deposits were safe but it turns out
the deposits that you made into the
Celsius crypto program were just used to
buy Celsius token and then that would
pump the value of a Celsius token and
ultimately lead to the opportunity to
pay these higher yields basically a
Ponzi scheme where money coming in is
helping pay for money that's going going
out and the only reason you actually
continue to have money coming and
payments to people is because more
people are depositing money but at some
time at some point in the free market a
Ponzi falls apart an apology is
generally reliant on people lying about
what's actually happening and this makes
me remember the days of interviewing the
CEOs of companies like Voyage or digital
or block five whom quite frankly if I
was the CEO of blockfire Voyager and I
had been one of those people which
obviously not well we'd be like oh my
gosh you might be next that I'd be like
trembling and be like oh my gosh we
might be nice because what happens is
when you have this unregulated type of
marketplace everybody has to compete
with everyone and obviously the company
offering the highest yields is probably
going to get most of the deposits so for
you to compete you also have to become a
Ponzi it's almost all of them were just
ponzis possibly with the exception of
coinbase coin this has its own problems
we'll see uh but this a Ponzi collapsing
through a bank run basically it would
deposit with all run is away the free
market solves ponzis the problem is it
comes with a lot of pain and many many
people losing a combined billions of
dollars the allegations include the fact
uh or I should say the allegation uh
that cell token was a fraudulent scheme
to essentially mislead investors or
depositors that Celsius did not make
uncollateralized loans or engage in
Risky activity like trading and the
interest paid on investors or two
investors represented eighty percent of
the company's Revenue all of those ended
up being false they weren't paying out
revenues they were paying out other
people's deposits they were engaging in
Risky trading and they were making loans
if you type in meet Kevin stablecoin
collapse coming the biggest warnings
that I made as early as January of 2021
it was very very early on the stable
coins the base warning that I made is
how how many loans are being made on
these stable coins this is going to
collapse I personally made the mistake
thinking the institutions would be okay
like the block by the Voyager or
whatever would be okay that they would
survive and that the stable coins would
collapse but it was the reverse it was
actually the brokerages that collapsed
and not the same coin so like everybody
was like totally blindsided by this uh
and it was only until the collapse
started some of these things became more
and more apparent uh and as a result
here now what do you have well the
unsustainable yields at Celsius leading
now to our lawsuits by not only uh the
SEC but the cftc Federal Trade
Commission I mean multiple different
lawsuits here the person's been arrested
for criminal fraud charges uh the the
earn programs were total scam and I mean
again in hindsight it's not a surprise
it seems too good to be true probably is
ready to go let's go then uh then it
probably is but boy oh boy how Wild that
this arrest in my opinion is probably
going to be the start of many and quite
frankly it's probably a good thing
because the more you get these criminals
charge like Sam bakeman freed or
otherwise the less likely this stuff is
to happen again in the future or so we
hope anyway I gotta take off so I'll see
you all the next one remember two weeks
to the expiring coupon code thanks so
much for your support we'll see you all
in the next one bye
