I was one of their customers. I got out before the nonsense thanks to some Twitter chatter. I had some friends on there, too and got them out.
My wife had bcash and we got her Bitcoin but totally ignored or forgot about the bcash. It's still there and it wasn't worth anything when I sent it to her but it increased in Fiat purchasing power or degraded Fiat. Has I paid more attention I would have exchanged it for Bitcoin. The shitcoin casino is awful and it's still in play every day.
Make no mistake there are plenty of yield trolls still around waiting to find more suckers.

He probably won't do 30 years, but the federal system is much tougher than most states regarding plea bargaining. Back when guidelines were mandatory it was tough for anyone to get a break. It's a little easier now.

Remember when Saifedean and Tone Vays ripped this guy a new one at some Blockchain conference and told everyone Celsius was a scam. The good old days.

I'm pretending to work on my desktop and the emoji didn't work. Once again you have taken advantage of blonde people. I had, once again to risk distraction by picking up my cell phone. You are very sneaky.

Thank you for the update. This asshole led to me losing half my stack. He can rot in prison for all I care.
