Funny to see the Crown Sterling people here; they're most well-known in the tech world for giving an absolutely out-to-lunch talk about "Time AI" at defcon a few years ago. They're crackpots who have no idea how cryptography works. https://securityboulevard.com/2019/09/no-rsa-hasnt-been-cracked-but-crown-sterling-is-very-confused/

Lemme know if u ever want to do a story on a classic 2017 vintage ICO. It’s one with a sympathetic founder, didn’t purport to have any ponzi-like elements, but people couldn’t stop piling $30m into it. Some BIG winners came out of it, and most token buyers got fleeced, but then the SEC swooped in to save the day and legitimized the exit scam. Reality is always better than fiction 😃

Hi guys, nice work. You may be tempted to get into touch with BNYMellon regarding his bold claim or past. You will be highly surprised to find out better. Kind regards.

Sarson funds got 100% recovery on Celsius for the Sablecoin fund... plus legal fees. Please show me another hegde fund that did better on their recovery... And are making a fortune on Helium. That comment didnt age very well!

We didn't like the strategy Popcorn was employing so we sold it at a profit. So far Crown Sterling's been disappointing but we're still holding it.

Regarding Terra Luna, in 2021 they were cutting edge. We did exit before things unwound...

Crypto investing is about having more winners than losers, not have zero losers. And by the way all of performance shown is net of fees. And we had no "yield scraping" arrangements with Celsius or anyone. This article is full of false accusations and I request that you remove it immediately.

The facts kind of make this not an exciting story. Sorry! Also it's BS that I need to make an account on this garbage platform just to defend myself and my firm from your garbage reporting and slander designed to boost your site at the expense of the facts. Anyone looking for more info or supporting documentation can feel free to email me or my team

Don't go chasing parabolas or believing in ESG scams. That's the key thing, crypto or not. That stated, Popcorn did no worse than the widely-beloved Tesla and when it comes to highly suspect "green"/tech/disruptive "investments" sold on lies and ridiculous promises while chased higher by rubes in a greed frenzy as feeder funds like ARKK et. al. pour into the top... that's definitely an apples-to-apples comparison.
