Justin Sun recently released a LUNA/UST clone called USDD... except there are a few differences we need to talk about. Also DEFI is not exactly a fair way to describe the ponzi-like coin.
Editing correction, at 7:00 the TRON wallet traced to is -- tronscan.org/#/address/TPyjyZ... -- not the etherscan wallet that was shown.

This video is an opinion and in no way should be construed as statements of fact. Scams, bad business opportunities, and fake gurus are subjective terms that mean different things to different people. I think someone who promises $100K/month for an upfront fee of $2K is a scam. Others would call it a Napoleon Hill pitch.
note! at 7:00 I showed Justin Sun's ethereum wallet instead of the TRON wallet we traced. The actual traced wallet is: TPyjyZfsYaXStgz2NmAraF1uZcMtkgNan5 just for those interested in doing more digging.

Seeing Alameda research brought up in old pre ftx collapse videos is like when they tease the next avengers villain in an MCU film
i saw this comment before i heard the mention and kinda brushed it off. then it came up and i went "OH NO." the future biopic miniseries looking back on crypto will be an incredible narrative.
lmao.
They all look legal while another big crypto giant is being this blatantly criminal and to be honest brainless. I wonder who will be next
SBF: Fine, I’ll do it myself
if someone promises you 40% returns, get up and walk away, and if they say it's riskless too, run out screaming
zero iq with zero experience in defi detected
What? You dont want 40% returns??
@@diocletian607 it’s all just FUD they say…
Justin Sun said it himself in an interview that the 30%+ is not fixed and will maybe last a year since it is only ment as an incentive in order to attract users. Basically marketing money. Also in the whitepaper it becomes perfectly clear that it will not be decentralized until the end of december and that it is in control of TronDao and the whitelisted parties. But hey let's just believe this idiot influencer with ZERO facts checking and just jumping on the bandwagon since it's cool to hate tron 😂 He is as shit as every other influencer making money with negativity because it's easy to go with the mass without your own opinion. I use tron since 4.5 years daily and didn't find any other chain as easy to use as tron. But people rather fangirl vitalik and charles who only do empty promises and zero delivery. That's crypto I guess. The zero usecase projects moon and the ones that actually try get destroyed by the influencers and the zero brains communities. Well done moonboys 😂👌
😂😂😂👌
Risk free, 40% returns, 300% backing and a healthy dose of "Trust me bro" from your excellency Justin Sun.
Your comment and your profile pic go all too well together
People can't stop donating fortunes to him I guess...Dozens of ponzu's at this point I've lost count of how many bs tokens he's created
😄😄😄
“A small number of white listed institutions like alameda research” I’m sure they could use some extra coins now haha
Dude my exact thought
Well... that aged like milk on a hotplate.
Glad im a new coffee fan because listening to this backlog and hearing all the stuff tied into the other scams is crazy!
Famous last contractual words
@@Hybrydnaki Me too I'm loving seeing Alameda pop up multiple times. I feel like I'm watching a movie with crazy foreshadowing.
"Ultra conservative investment" 39.6% return. Yup, sounds legit.
It's very conservative when every other similar scam is promising 367,000% tbf
I love that through crypto a young generation is rediscovering all the pitfalls of unregulated finance. A cesspool of greed, scams, empty promises - all under a thin veil of “decentralization”, “empowerment” and “sticking it to the establishment”.
Don’t hate the playa Hate the game
@@magacop5180 how are supposed not to hate the fucking scammers
Why are you loving that? People are literally fucking up their future. I'm also in crypto, but I did my research on LUNA/UST and figured where are they getting the money from? And so I didn't buy any.
@@thefirehawk1495 I love it because those lessons need to be learned. When investing has a “get rich quick” casino mentality society suffers from a zero sum game. Whereas when investing is about adding productivity in the form of new and better goods and services to the world, then it’s a positive sum game where everyone actually becomes better off in the long run.
You forgot "redistributing wealth"... they are redistributing their wealth alright🤣
Right... Crypto scammers don't really care about decentralization. They are really interested in deregulation. Without regulation it is far easier, and less illegal, to swindle people from their money.
What the hell is the point of crypto if it is regulated by someone?
@@GrandChessboard it's regulated by all
@@GrandChessboard If crypto is not regulated by rules and someone then why would anyone believe in crypto? They literally could change the rules everyday. Chicken and egg problem.
decentralization as a business is laughable. the whole point of a business is to grow and produce more valuable goods and services. Thats like saying they are a business trying to create communism through capitalism. Centralized banks are the final products of a free market; its the most efficient and best money-generating version of a bank. If people want to take power away from the bank you cant use the free market. Look at any successful business much less just banks, none of them are decentralized. That's because they receive a competitive edge by being centralized. Until that edge is removed, centralisation is inevitable
@@GrandChessboard Because without regulations all manner of unethical things can be done without any repercussions. Our Banks used to have that same kind of leeway which in part led to the Great Depression. Had banks had to follow the regulations back then that they do now that would never have happened. Crypto is like the banks of back then there are so many crypto scams because of there being no regulation its almost like why not do it theres no consequences Edit: FTX would not have gone bankrupt had Crypto exchanges been under the same regulations as banks.
Saw you on CNN. You did well. Media giants are finally publicizing a good guy, instead of every single bad guy that comes along. Hope your channels grow by leaps and bounds, as you provide a desperately needed service.
Oof cnn though

Hi link please
cnn? thats kinda a bad look honestly.
People still watch CNN?
I’d just like to point out the massive irony that I always get these guru ads whenever I click on your videos: millionaire mindset, Dan Lok, Grant Cardone, and dozens of clones of the same shit. The scam hustle never stops
It only increases, like great in a recession
I noticed that too, and I’m sure Coffee is amused to be paid by them. He is profiting from it and it’s why I’ll let the ad run.
Yeah it’s annoying as hell
So basically scam victims fund KZhead/GOOG profits through scammer ad dollars
Everybody wants to get rich with no hard work involved…..
Basic rule of thumb: if there's a yield higher than 10% on ANYTHING, institutional investors would flock to it like flies on shit. If they're not, then you know to stay away.
Excellent answer.
Get in early leave before collapse ez

"Your Excellency" how cringe the reporter even indulged that. Regular people are under no obligation to refer to someone as such
Pretty sure the reporter had to refer him as such to pay respect to the country who gave him the title and avoid controversy, not necessarily to get on his good side, but yea it was cringe as hell
When you can go to jail in certain countries by referring to someone as the wrong pronouns….they’re going to bend over backwards to make sure they use the “proper” title.

lol Justin's wiki page is marked as problematic because he probably paid someone to write it the way he wanted it, allegedly. I mean, it very conveniently leaves out all dubious parts of his history.
Most of wikipedia is like this, majority of the people that write the articles on an event/person are bias toward it, hence caring enough to write/edit it.
@@Jake_Hamlin Most Wikipedia pages are actually written by a very small amount of people. 90% of Wikipedia is written by a few thousand people. One man alone has made 35000 articles, and over 3 million edits.
@Guy Whose opinions will offend you there are no bad vibes.. the dude is a total and utter sociopath at best.. he is a walking Red Planet. Those who invest in this after seeing his resume, deserve to loose their investments. He is like a 80's Jordan Belfort but with a faaaaar worst trackrecord & still going strong in his coke conviction that he is not going to get caught because he has diplomatic immunity. The FBI will eventually get his ass.

If a crypto coin is backed by a portfolio of crypto coin holdings, it's still backed by nothing.
Hmmmm doesnt exactly validate the US dollar either and yet it gets away with Ponziship all the same ...
And the u.s. dollar is still also backed by nothing. All fiat monies are currently backed up by nothing. So really the question is, what scam do you want to believe in? Fiat, crypto, NFT's, antiques, postage stamps? Lol
‘Nothing comes from nothing’ ~ Shakespeare
So is fiat currency. If you don't believe me do yourself a favour and watch End of the road. Search that watch that and learn exactly how money isn't money. We give value to what we want to give value to. Pokemon cards are proof. Bitcoin has value because nobody can control it the way the fiat currencies are controlled. Only time will tell what happens but this is the end of the road learn why or stay behind. I'm not saying buy crypto. I'm saying atleast the idea of crypto is sound. Ruined by Kunts who actually do control it and use it to make their own wealth. We need coins like bitcoin designed to be autonomous smart contracts doing everything no vitalik or do kwon nobody at the top. Then it might work.

The way coffezilla analyses things is just amazing... his mind is like a machine
not invested in crypto whatsoever but i never miss a video! your videos are always so well done, love you coffee!
Same lol
As Warren Buffett says crypto doesn’t make anything so it doesn’t produce a profit such as buying a stock in a company that makes something that pays a dividend out of the profits generated. I can see see Bitcoin becoming a universal currency and perhap a hedge against inflation but that’s about it. And if Bitcoin ever gets to that point it will probably be heavily regulated. Most of the rest of these alt coins appear to be pump and dump scams aimed at naive people.
Sameee lmao
Coffee is.
Crapto
This guy is literally the fed chairman of the coins he created.
Considering Alameda as a "whitelisted" entity eg. "serious" aged like fine fresh milk... 2022 was wild...
Gotta love how centralized the decentralized crowd is

Bro, you are amazing Coffee! Way more people need to watch this. You will be a legend in the history books. Keep up doing the lord's work sir ;)

Betting is gambling, not investing.

OK I *swear* I'm not normally that gal and I *know* this was just a joke about an unrelated thing, but I'm gonna take the opportunity to soapbox anyway: If you're at all interested in the topic, please look into greyhound racing and the controversy surrounding it, because the dogs are often not treated very well and sad dogs are Not A Good Thing. Thank you 💖
Me listening white listed trustworthy companies "Alameda Research" 👀
Ahhhhhh that alameda research being a trusted white listed firm is reallllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyy interesting
40% per year? "Ultraconservative investment" my ass! I mean really, what is their target audience? How dumb must one be?
Target audience are dumb people trying to get rich quick, and judging by their accumulated wealth I’d say they have plenty of customers!

A compilation
Unfortunately these are the kinds people who have designed the world economy. It's set up to facilitate them, not punish them.
This aged well The "White Listed" entities including...drum roll.. Alameda Research
Found this channel 3-4 days ago. Been watching like 6 hours of videos a day. These are addicting
I remember someone in the c-suite of Tron mentioning they were getting into the algo stable world. That was on the heels of Luna falling apart. This hot mess is backed by them.
I'm gonna need a translation on that first sentence
I feel like at a certain point if people still put all their life savings into crypto , maybe that's natural selection.
😂 nice

A “risk-free investment” is an oxymoron. These people are taking advantage of people who are not as smart as they are by using big words and charts.

Absolutely love how you break things down. Helped me really understand the landscape of crypto. As someone who has spent countless hours on studying scams and con artists, these get me!
I'm not sure how I miss this episode but it was one of your best ones yet
Great video love your videos every time a new video comes out I have to watch
I am pretty sure none of these coins are backed by anything and they can just mint whenever.
What sad times we live in where a random person cannot offer risk-free doubling of your money every two years without seeming suspicious!
"Doubling your money" Godamnit I thought we got rid of all the doubler bots at the Grand Exchange!
I saw an article in a well respected german magazine and one guy in the comment section was like "I make 2% a day by daytrading crypto". And some actually believed that. I wrote "Yea, nothing special about a 1300x in a year, just your normal safe investment these days".
@@derfahnder88 Or almost 25 nonillion times in 10 years!
well its not risk free
Ppl need to be thaught in primary school that anything above 8% per year over 10 years which is sp500 is either gambling or a scam.
Alameda lmao Love seeing it pop up here and know "oh so did they lose customer funds here?"
Watching this in November and hearing the name Alameda Research is like a jumpscare
Keep up the good work, you are one of the few here sending the correct message: crypto is all ponzi!
Well, he was able to figure out all of that through the crypto technology, i mean he traced back all the activities on the Blockchain. Nothing is hidden on the Blockchain. However, people are so dumb and lazy to go and figure it out themselves, greedy people! I hope you can see the empowerment there, it's just people need to embrace it.
What do we want? Deregulation When do we want it? Shit, all my money’s gone! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
🤣🤣
I love you. Just good analyse, as always.
That fact that a company can promise a risk free annual return of >40% and that investors actually believe that claim just blows my mind. How in the blue hell is anybody going to be able to promise that type of return as risk free? Did they discover or invent a money growing tree?
Yes they did it's called Merkel tree and one of the root technology's cryptocurrencys build on. But yeah call money tree. If you calculate average annual crypto returns you are in 4 years In the last 15 years at a minimum return of 30% per year and maximum of 400% depends on the dcay and calculation method
@@peernetwork Yeah, but crypto is anything but risk free. People who bought BTC at $60k aren't getting that 40% return, are they? Crypto is an extremely volatile and speculative investment vehicle. Anybody saying any otherwise is ignoring reality.
Yes they did. It's called idiots with money. A kind of fruit that grows mainly in North America.
they deserve to lose if they are that stupid
@@peernetwork you're going to stay poor because that is absolute nonsense. As a dollar amount, how much more money do you have right now from crypto not including BTC? Anything?
How the fack you put out so many quality videos after a week or less of research :0

because he know y’all not going to recheck his work and just believe everything he say
Fun fact: Justin Sun (Tron) was Charles Hoskinson's (Cardano) role-model back in 2018.
Interesting to watch this now with regard to Alameda eh? You know Tron is involved, and Sun is deep in with Binance too....

Great video as usual. To me it's just insane how governments keep allowing this, the chance this will end in tears and wipe out retail is 100%. This will be a chapter one day on the insanity starting with 2020 in history/economic literature and yet we are mid 2022 and people are still free to do this, absolutetly incomprehensible.
They allow it because they win on it being legal. Isn’t like Nancy pelozi husband like one of the most successful traders of all time?
Keep allowing this? You're kidding right. Whilst government's are running the biggest Ponzi of them all. The stock market is a complete fabrication, the property market is in a huge bubble that only benefits the banks, and this is world wide. Currencies are crashing everywhere, the Japanese central bank is in a war trying to keep the Yen from crashing. The amount of money in Crypto is pittance compared to what is being lost around the world currently. The insanity started in 2008 when the world economy died and government's have not just allowed it to continue but are part of it.
it's not the responsibility of government to prevent people from engaging in stupid acts. Is it within the government's authority to ensure material facts are disclosed, showing it is a stupid act? Probably. But, if you know what crypto is and still buy it, it's all on you.
Crypto bros will scream "crypto will have no meaning if it's regulated by someone" Then scream when crypto crash why no govt bodies are helping them. Again a chicken and egg problem.
Many governments around the world have banned cryptocurrency. One example is the Chinese government. But they are painted as evil lmao
I was always sceptical but this justified my thoughts. Wish I found your channel sooner. Cheers 🍻
I stayed away from crypto entirely because, when it was explained to me, there was a lot of confusing details thrown at me but a distinct track of "this sounds like a scam" running through it. If this channel has taught me anything, it's that I made the smart choice to just stay away from that entire market.
He was on London Real, enough said.
I got a few questions. It's great that this channel is out there and provides essentially what is a public service, calling out these bad actors and alerting the general public to various scammers and such. That is potentially valuable since that kind of information helps prevent people from losing their life savings and being screwed over by these guys. What is coffeezilla's main revenue source? Is it merch, advertising, donations? Does he provide audits or recommendations?
Probably sponsors and ad rev
KZhead ad revenue and now patreon
