I’ve not been to Buenos Aires, but I agree with you in comparing NYC, Paris, and London. Moscow is happenin’! I really miss living there. Not today, exactly, but in a general sense.

decentralized finance is less exploitative than the centralized financial ecosystem

It’s almost like there's a reason our financial systems run on government backed currencies rather than Dave the greengrocers promissory notes.

Do you mean to tell me that 30+ years of cold war era action and spy movies may have painted a picture of Moscow and its culture that is out of line with reality?

While the YouTuber starts the investigation with a disclaimer that he is not calling this a straight-up scam, it is clear that what transpired involved a lapse in judgment from multiple Faze Clan members.

Considering he voluntarily agreed to and his attorneys voluntarily offered to file a SLAAP suit in California WHEN THEY DIDN’T HAVE TO indicates to me that he’s an idiot and they are milking the cash cow and probably should be sued for malpractice. Given that, as well as the garbage actually in the filing (he’s…

The fact that they were given tokens that are ostensibly meant to be used as money prior to the launch of the coin should be a massive red flag. The stock market is a pretty damn corrupt place and even they have a lock up period when a company IPOs so that all those early investors can’t just cash out immediately…

I think if you are cancelled you have two options:

I am so god damn sick of the unprincipled, amoral greed that is using gaming and adjacent communities to target the young and vulnerable for pump and dump scams or similar; it’s not just the fact that even many of the targets will be woefully unprepared to understand why these schemes are so sinister and they’re just…

They’ve been a constant source of controversy. Aside from the stuff Reginald mentioned, they were also involved in “legal” (read: illegal) CSGO gambling making $200K a day targeting kids. I put “legal” in quotes because Banks claims it was legit after flying to Antigua to bribe the government into giving them a…

The game was literally being marketed as having a deep fashion system that relied on you combining pieces of one of the four primary styles to get a high cool score which would impact your options. None of that made it into the final game, they sold it as a game where fashion matters and then fully failed to deliver…

No you just don’t get it! It’s the future of currency, even though I refuse to use it as currency in any capacity! Paradigm-shift!

If you’re “investing” in any cryptocurrency then it’s not a good investment.

It’s almost like “crypto” is just a giant scam or something...

So, just to be clear, this school would have fired the Virgin Mary following the immaculate conception.

What’s even more surprising is that a game like Saints Row: The Third did this to great effect almost a decade ago. And it didn’t swallow too much of your in-game currency to find ‘your look’ the moment the world opens out to you.

A few things (I’m an attorney that dabbles in some defamation cases in the greater LA area). The complaint itself is pretty terribly written and seems to be written for the purposes of media consumption (the identifying of someone as a “then girlfriend” while going to great lengths to explain they were not in fact his…
