Current Events > Martin Shkreli rugpulled a crypto coin. Threatens to sue when called out on it

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's a 20 minute video, but god damn it was entertaining.

The TL:DW, Shkreli freshly released from jail claims to have an "accident" after downloading a virus while torrenting porn. 400k of the crypto he was promoting "disappears".

A youtuber calls him out on it, and Shkreli threatens to sue him.

EDIT: *freshly released from jail for fraud

Crypto is the future guys.

I remember finding out Destiny was a Starcraft player and I said "Yeah that makes sense".

That's old shit, he hasn't played starcraft in ages

screw him. cant be forgiven especially for attempting to sue another user who called out his BS.

Good to see he still sucks.

I hope Stacy Keach lives long enough to narrate all of this some day.

I know, he's spent triple the time arguing with people on stream and getting mad about getting Gnomed.

He's a debatebro, arguing and debating is the content

I used to watch him when he played games. Once he became a glorified political commentator (with just...the spiciest imaginable takes) I lost all interest in him.

I mean he still plays games, he just also debates at the same time. Right now he's on a big factorio craze.

It seems like you have the same politics now.

I wouldn't know. Last I heard he was a full-on libertarian.

absolutely not, in fact he's one of the few leftists in the debatespace that will argue Biden has actually done a bunch of good things so far while in office. He was raised in a right wing immigrant household, but his politics could be described as sensibly progressive, his views are more or less in line with your average progressive, but the method in which they should be attained is more pragmatic than what you see normally.

Let me clarify--the last time I saw him argue a political point on stream, it was in support of open and liberal use of hard drugs like cocaine and meth, because he was dating some girl who did like...many, many drugs.

He's been with his current partner for 4 years, so that must have been a long long time ago.

The context of the debate/who he was aguing with is also important.

Winners in the same sense as a lottery ticket winner. Only a moron would take financial advice from someone who obtained their wealth through pure luck.

Skill bro, buying doge in 2020 and selling near the top was pure skill

To be fair, if you aren't born wealthy, getting wealthy IS pure luck. >_>

LMFAO, keep telling yourself that. Doge is a meme that happened to blow up. That's all luck.

I will never buy crypto because the intrinsic value of it is $0.
