We need a high profile influencer to be arrested and jailed for X years before thing
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Influencers, high profile figures, actors, musicians, you name it. Everyone and their mother is shilling some shitcoin, or worse, making their own coin and then shilling it. </p> <p>The post from <a href="/u/tngsystems">u/tngsystems</a> about Ben Phillips (Bravo TNG, your posts are always a good read) is the latest example of a long line of those scumbags tricking their own fan base into buying a worthless coin/token, that they are selling at the same time. </p> <p>The thing is, all of them are just continuing to do what they used to do for the last few years: promoting something they are paid to promote. Drinks, clothes, jewelry, vaginal douches, essential oils, vampire repellants (???), etc. </p> <p>The thing is, they (the scumbags) don't understand the difference between those and crypto. While those products may or may not work, by promoting the weird or overpriced products they are not under the hook for fraud, embezzlement, misleading the investors and every other actionable offense they are currently doing in their crypto adventure. The advertising of those products is simply immoral, while the pump and dump tactics in crypto are illegal. And the <em>chef's kiss</em> beauty of it: it's all on the blockchain, permanent, accessible to anyone and not altered in any way, shape or form. </p> <p>Bcs sooner or later, a highly public influencer (or two of them, or ten) WILL go to jail bcs of this. For a very long time.
