Influencers used dying kids to promote a scam altcoin
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>A token called ‘Save The Kids’ was released in June. It promised investors that a percentage of the proceeds would go to charity.</p> <p>These are some of the influencers that promoted the token and their combined followers (Youtube/Twitter/Instagram) :</p> <p>Faze Kay - 9M+</p> <p>Faze Jarvis - 12M+</p> <p>Faze Nikan - 3M+</p> <p>Faze Teeqo - 7M+</p> <p>RiceGum - 18M+</p> <p>SommerRay - 27M+</p> <p>There were some other influencers as well...</p> <p>The token got rugged just a few days after its launch. These "influencers" claimed that they didn't know it was a scam. Some people found their wallet addresses and all of these investors sold before the big dump.</p> <p>If you want to know more about this scam, I would recommend checking out Coffezilla's detailed 37 minute <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kv6ne6VQCZI">VIDEO</a> on this.</p> <p>This was Faze Kay's "apology" tweet a few days ago</p> <p>"I want you all to know that I had no ill intent promoting any crypto alt coins.
