I am a huge fan of Hawk Tuah but you took my life savings.

Still love that hawk tuah though

I dunno, if "society" is the people living in it and most of them are falling for the grifters... Wouldn't it be society that's beyond the reach of saving?

Don’t understand how they had any money left after I assume the wallet inspector got most of it

brad.westness.cc•78 days ago

I want someone to follow up with that guy and be like "what did you think was the best case scenario here"

delaminated.bsky.social•78 days ago

What's fascinating to me is that it will never occur to this person that there's a government agency tasked and actually empowered to protect the public from these types of scams, but which has mostly been defanged, AND, were it up to the people he probably votes for, will cease to exist altogether.

grumpyrootbeer.bsky.social•78 days ago

And that agency is likely going to be headed by a crypto booster soon.

danmitchell.bsky.social•78 days ago

But it's a joke. There are obviously a bunch of pathetic dupes who fell for the "coin," but he's not one of them (I think he is a blockchain dude, though, so).

fastenoughforyou.bsky.social•78 days ago

this. tagging cobie at the end as his rep is the giveaway

danmitchell.bsky.social•78 days ago

It's kind of obvious otherwise, too (no idea who cobie is). OTOH, it's increasingly difficult to tell such things these days, and I wasn't sure myself at first.

grumpyrootbeer.bsky.social•78 days ago

Yeah, most of the people buying these coins are just degenerate gamblers who are "in" in the joke.

notalawyer.bsky.social•78 days ago

if the rug pull was real i don’t see why it matters tbh

danmitchell.bsky.social•78 days ago

That kind of sounds like "Mike Daisey was telling a higher truth." It doesn't matter to your underlying point, but the story is bogus.

zyla.top•78 days ago

sadly this is copypasta but it is truthy

nathantweetberg.bsky.social•78 days ago

Counterpoint (can just get lucky with these scams):

frankgrimesiv.bsky.social•78 days ago

This person thought they were on the side of the scam where they get rich and the other rubes get had. Which is the most compelling scam of all.

harveyfliester.bsky.social•78 days ago

Falling for it is generous, I think almost everyone involved in aware of the fraud. They just thought they could time it better and pass it on to the greater fool.

stannislaw.bsky.social•78 days ago

That *is* falling for it.

zorotl.bsky.social•78 days ago

It would be less pathetic for them to all just play poker.

harveyfliester.bsky.social•78 days ago

Probably a pretty big overlap with people online gambling.

fettuccineal.bsky.social•78 days ago

This is 100% the scheme they’re all trying to pull which makes me feel bad only for the poor families that have to deal with those losers.

unhipcat.bsky.social•77 days ago

stupid is as stupid does

hortnon.bsky.social•78 days ago

this is the absolute most common, most mundane crypto scam, so common that every new token/coin should be assumed to be doing this. you can't fall for it and get mad in 2024

benreese91.bsky.social•78 days ago

Sometimes you gotta let the kid touch the stove if they aren’t gonna listen when you tell them it’s hot 500 times.

banneduser.space•78 days ago

It's working as intended - cryptos operate by the principle of scam or be scammed. The bros know this too and have been joking about it for years now.

You just gotta pay to play and be in the space long enough for a new generation of marks to dump on

mattzuff.bsky.social•78 days ago

Yeah, put on your Lularoe, take your herbalife, and go see your chiropractor.

semsu.bsky.social•78 days ago

I put all my money in this coin about blowjob techniques and it turns out *I'm* the sucker

jrosenberg125.bsky.social•77 days ago

In the 1990s he would have lost it on overly friendly Hooters waitresses

johnnyzcz.bsky.social•78 days ago

Read that as "you are beyond mercy" and... yeah 💁

kimtc.bsky.social•78 days ago

These people need to read Easy Money by Ben McKenzie.

scarymrolmecman.bsky.social•78 days ago

If you go into that guy's account, apparently his whole "investment strategy" is to try and ride the bubble of various memecoins, so, you know, maybe not the plaintiff I pick for the lawsuit

Sure, the last 8754 cryptocurrencies were pump and dump scams. But this next one is gonna be a goldmine.

fangyang80.bsky.social•78 days ago

"crypto is great, with no regulations it's free from government meddling"

"ohhhh noooo help, regulators save meeee"

wscotgrey.bsky.social•78 days ago

Imagine saving up $35,000, thinking I gotta be strategic with how I’m gonna bet this for a quick rich payout, and choosing the Hawk Tuah meme coin. Like, how are you still alive? There’s gotta be 30 things between the bed and the toilet that could kill somebody that stupid before they put pants on.

daffidmck.bsky.social•78 days ago

If I lost that much money on a memecoin, no one would ever know.

virtualphoton.bsky.social•78 days ago

Shouldn't be illegal?

twilightmacaroni.bsky.social•78 days ago

I'm guessing it's about 80% likely that Social Security will be "invested" in crypto scams by 2026.

steinkobbe.bsky.social•78 days ago

If you're falling for crypto pump and dump schemes in 2024 you might just be a closeted paypig

pauldssb.bsky.social•78 days ago

needs a conservatorship or needs a dom. call it

captainfart.bsky.social•77 days ago

Either that or you’re maybe 18

amludwig48.bsky.social•77 days ago

They’re doing customer service on X, the everything app

flexv.bsky.social•78 days ago

My friends, who are real, told me they invested in her branding and really believed in the hawk tuah coins. Devastation

armandhammer.bsky.social•78 days ago

i gotta spit blame to the tuah you

crabby-phatty.bsky.social•75 days ago

His wife or baby momma is currently seeking to place him in mandatory sex and porn addiction classes before he can see those children again.

michaelander45.bsky.social•78 days ago

What about if I deliver $25K of my life savings in a shoe box to the "FBI" ??

ubboubbo.bsky.social•78 days ago

I’m so old I remember when fraudsters needed to be creative to rip stupid people off

toowoke2joke.on.computer•78 days ago

They all were pumping but didn't dump fast enough. Not enough people are data literate.

guineverehope.bsky.social•78 days ago

Oh fuck, I had forgot Aella existed for several months there

femmeferocity.bsky.social•78 days ago

I'm just glad she was able to break the crypto glass ceiling and succeed in a field dominated by men

jacobsidney.com•78 days ago

What about leagal action though 🤔

jimtothehum.bsky.social•78 days ago

I don't know, feels like now is the time to get in on the Hawk Tuah coin at the ground floor. Everyone knows Hawk Tuah currency is cyclical.

fettuccineal.bsky.social•78 days ago

Hmm, something tells me that they didn’t consult their partner on gambling their children’s college fund for this endeavor.
