An investor is suing several very influential, right wingers for allegedly hing up a Trump
[9]
theme.
[10]
Cryptocurrency that as far as I can tell from reports is just called.
[14]
Let's go Brandon, because he alleges that they hyped it up, drove the price up, then
[22]
immediately sold, causing the price of it to plummet.
[27]
Essentially the price has already fallen more than 99% leaving investors who are still holding.
[35]
These let's go brand crypto coins with basically worthless pieces of nothing.
[42]
But this particular investor, a man by the name of Eric, Def Ford has named several prominent,
[47]
right wingers in his lawsuit, uh, including hedge fund manager, James, uh, S media personalities,
[55]
Canda Owen, and David Harris Jr.
[58]
And several others.
[59]
But it's the Candace Owen one that I, that I want to focus on here.
[64]
Or can O one, I guess I should say, because her defense is what is absolutely hilarious,
[71]
cuz it shows what a loser she is.
[75]
So here's what happened.
[77]
Let's get to the scheme first.
[78]
This is what Def Ford alleges took place.
[81]
You, you had these right wing media influencers, media personalities, hedge fund managers,
[86]
podcasters, all these individuals out there, hing the let's go Brandon coin.
[92]
So Def Ford thought to himself, well, this seems like a great investment opportunity.
[96]
How can it go sideways?
[99]
So he puts his money into it, right?
[101]
Well then everybody else, according to his lawsuit sells theirs.
[106]
All these prominent figures who had been hyping it up, sell, which drives the price way, way,
[111]
way down, leaving people, still holding it with massive losses.
[116]
That is what a pump and dump scheme is.
[118]
And yes, a pump and dump scheme is illegal.
[122]
And the way they work these days is usually it is media personalities, podcasters people
[128]
with big social media, followings that hype something up.
[132]
They've already bought into it.
[133]
When it was at a lower price, hype it up, people start buying price goes up, they sell
[138]
everything plummets.
[140]
They walk away with lots of money.
[141]
Everybody else walks away with massive losses now onto Candace Owens, right?
[148]
Because part of the pump and dump is the people who pumped.
[153]
It made a lot of money off it.
[155]
Right?
[156]
Well, Candace Owens has a full proof defense.
[157]
I will give her that of how she could not be guilty of a pump and dump.
[162]
And it's because as she says, when she lost money on it.
[167]
So I think it's kind of funny that the best defense is that <laugh> I can't be part of
[172]
the scheme because even I lost money on it, loser <laugh> oh man, dang it.
[179]
Eh, well, you know what they say, a fool in their money or soon part.
[183]
And let's be honest.
[184]
Canice Owen has plenty of money.
[186]
She's not hurting.
[187]
She's gonna be just fine.
[189]
And legally speaking, that is actually a very good defense.
[194]
If you are accused of a pump and dump, you should be able to show these massive profits.
[198]
You dumped it.
[199]
And if she does indeed have losses from it, you can't really be guilty of a pump and dump.
[205]
And again, the pump and dump scheme that they're being accused of would technically be illegal.
[210]
But at the same time, what did you think was gonna happen?
[213]
Mr. De Ford?
[215]
Right?
[216]
We've got new little cryptocurrencies popping up all the time.
[218]
I mean the bubble is not what it was just a couple years ago.
[222]
Things aren't so great in crypto land right now, if you're investing in some of these
[225]
smaller weirder, more obscure, and of course these politically motivated cryptocurrencies
[231]
what'd you think was gonna happen.
[234]
I mean, come on, shouldn't a little bit of this be buyer or be way, or you know, what,
[241]
what happened in the party of personal responsibility, right?
[243]
Isn't that what the Republicans are all about and here they are, or at least this guy puts
[249]
his money in something cuz these right wing podcasters say, Hey, this is the thing to
[253]
do.
[254]
Like you have to have a little bit of personal responsibility.
[258]
Candace Owens is not a financial advisor.
[262]
Okay.
[263]
David Harris Jr.
[264]
The other person named in the lawsuit.
[266]
One of the others, not a financial advisor as far as I know.
[270]
So why are you taking financial advice from them?
[274]
You know, I think a little bit of personal responsibility here would go a long way in
[278]
Mr. Def Ford's case next you wanna invest your money?
[282]
Go talk to somebody who knows what the hell they're talking about.
[286]
Not some Yahoo that you saw on the internet.
