    I guess it’s possible… But I’d consider the fraudster who famously committed financial frauds, participating in more financial fraud, to be a much more probable scenario.

        Sure, and accept that this guy has a few million dollars and can afford to pay for some “creative” accounting.

          Which still means he lost more than half a million dollars from a bad investment.

            Clearly, you didn’t bother to read the other comments in this very thread before you posted this.

              Clearly, you have an agenda and simply think that someone as dumb as Logan Paul couldn’t simply have made a dumb choice. You need to come up with some kind of conspiracy theory where he did it to benefit.

                I don’t give a fuck about this guy, but I know a fucking grifter when I see a grifter, and I’ve learned not to give them the benefit of assuming that their actions are done randomly or stupidly.

                Now, if you want to go deep into a thread to claim that a renowned crypto scammer isn’t running a crypto scam, you’re free to do so, but that sounds like a fucking agenda to me.

                  Sure, I agree. That doesn’t mean that he always wins when he tries to grift. There’s a well known expression “you can’t con an honest man”. I’m sure that he thought he was getting the better end of the deal. But, clearly he didn’t.

                  You don’t have to pretend he’s some omnipotent super-being who never gets scammed.

                  If you want to claim that Logan Paul is a genius who never gets caught in one of his own attempted scams, go for it, but… I mean… look at the guy.
