    “Jesus told us to steal from the poor.”

    Almost makes me wish heresy was still a thing. =/

    It’s certainly misrepresentation of a business.

      Don’t worry, this guy admitted to everything, seeing how “God told me to” isn’t a legal defense. God really told you to spend “thousands on home renovations”? Super cool bro

    “We took God at his word and sold a cryptocurrency with no clear exit,” Regalado in his video address Friday.

    Bahaha. Not only did god tell them to do it, but he might have misled them a little bit about the profitability of the venture. Bad god, bad.

    So are people just going to be duped by crypto scams for the rest of eternity? How many times does this have to happen before people just stop buying random crypto created by shady people?

      Because someone wins. They all know the game is rigged, but the point is to fly as close to the sun without melting your wings. They know that the white paper holders are planning to scam the rubes, you just need to duck out before the rug pull. Can’t believe the leopard ate their face

        No one wins in crypto scams. Except the people that create them. That’s why they’re scams and not just “bad investments”.

    I’m pretty sure if Jesus was still here he would condemn crypto the same way he condemn those ancient bankers.

      Jesus didn’t “condemn ancient bankers,” he booted money chargers from the temple. He wasn’t railing against capitalism, he was against people using what was meant to be a place of worship, for those purposes.

      There’s nothing inherently different about crypto that Jesus would have been against compared to fiat currency. It’s not like cash scams don’t exist.

      Not that it matters since it’s all bullshit anyway.
