Another week, another crypto scam where e-sports players scammed thousands of players out of millions of $.
Kotaku:
“Faze Clan Fires Kay, Suspends Three Other Members Over Shady Crypto Scheme.”
These criminals who will probably be in jail soon, are part of Blizzard’s COD and Overwatch Leagues. They scammed thousands of followers with crypto pump and dump schemes.
What these e-sports players are doing is telling followers to invest in cryptocurrency. Most followers are young are gullible, they do not understand they are part of a pump and dump scheme where they will lose all their money.
It’s 5 past 12, you are going to burn your fingers if you do not vet players. It is just a matter of time at this point where the same thing will happen with a Hearthstone streamer who scams viewers.
VET-YOUR-PLAYERS-BLIZZARD. Make sure you understand who the people you recruit and pay actually are before the FBI comes knocking on your door too.
