Big Ass On Fire: Jun 16, 2023

I've been watching the BBBY saga for frickin' months and at this point, much like many of the "investors", I'm ready for it to be over.

I get the people holding because their position is worth peanuts now and not worth closing. But the guys who jump through hoops calling their brokers, setting up new accounts with shady trading places (what the hell is Moo Moo) so they can place buy orders STILL, like today, boggle the drat mind.

Okay sure, I can understand why someone might want to read about blockchain nonsense which has led to one of the biggest bankruptcies in U.S. history and the financial ruin of millions but not a bunch of internet losers who scream at each other about failing company stock.

Here's a new thread.

Surpirsed no one has mentioned the latest with the arch-grifter Bitboy Crypto.
We've all heard of rug pulls of the coin, but this is possibly the first rug pull of the grift!

Back Story: Bitboy Crypto is the Jim Cramer of bitcoin and crypto.
He had his own show where he would get money to pimp the latest scam coin, claim its 100% to the moon, and then next week its another scam coin.
He has ruined a lot of other's lives. He also throws out SLAPP lawsuits to anyone who posts against him online, then drops them once threatened back.
He's the ultimate crypto bro, flashing rolexes and a lambo his company rents.
Absolute scumbag.

Current: He has his own company taken away over night from him by his business partner.
All his cards stopped, bills unpaid, left without a nickel. So he takes it like a normal person does.
He begs for $20 for gas, to turn up at the business partner's house trying to doxx him live.
Police turn up, is asked live on his stream who is in the car with him, and he stalls answering as its someone who hes cheating on his wife with.
Then he gets arrested

Here it is all detailed, good laugh:

I'd be amazed if a lot of that doesn't get scrapped. You're already seeing the walk-back from some of the game companies that had planned NFT bullshit in their games and realize it's not worth the effort.
