beefybake Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 4 hours ago, hk blues said: First of all, I was not being entirely serious but anyway - If you are influencing both sides isn't that pretty much balancing the influence out so in effect nullifying it? Well, one of those sides is going to lose, so there isn't much balancing of influence in that direction. The subject is rather like someone who votes for an honest, upright, progressive political party here, but places a bet on the Conservatives, or Labour, to win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There massive crime is an Unregulated offshore bank decided to steal 8 billion dollars of customers funds to gamble with. BTW watching the full Morning TV interview is worthwhile, he acts like some sort of lizard person when he is struggling to answer questions. https://twitter.com/GMA/status/1598296985010073600?s=20&t=m1yRCRQ61AwsI3LViqpRSg Edited December 2, 2022 by iron mike python 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promising unfeasible rates of return, Using new Investors money to fund payouts to old investors by buying back and burning their FTT tokens, exponential unsustainable growth and fingers in the till on a massive scale.
