“Miscalculation” bro… you literally spread misinformation and impacted so many people on different levels and will be making a profit in video views. That’s quite an immense margin of error. Why should anyone feel confident in your calculations and block chain investigation credibility.
Coffee has unironically become one of the most important YT channels in existence. It's weird to go back to some of his original videos before he pivoted to scams, and then later crypto.
He has some good content but at best he can only prevent you from getting scammed so IMO content that can help you get the most ROI as an investor is the most important.
That was quite some exaggeration. Someone who covers scams and Ponzi Schemes that are obvious scams and Ponzi schemes is the most important channel on RUclips? I don't think so. If you're mentally ill enough to invest in Crypto, you probably should "invest" a little bit in a therapist.
I remember when 2 co-workers of mine told me about safemoon and how I should get in early like them. When they described it to me, I told them, "This sounds like a ponzi scheme." Cue nervous looks and laughter from them.

One of my friends, who'd once worked at Apple, is the one who advised Elizabeth Holmes (of Theranos infamy) to dress like Steve Jobs. I only learned about it just before the Theranos documentary came out. When the company imploded, my friend was too embarrassed to mention her involvement.

@@Sorrelhas You dont wanna be a person like this. I guarentee these people arent content after all this. Unless theyre a complete psycho i bet it eats at them.
The quality of these videos is astonishing. Youre one of my favorites! The key to informing everyday people like us about advanced topics like crypto scams is to form it into a story. And damn, you are one amazing storyteller.
Same I remember when it first came out and scam’s were everywhere it seemed like 9/10 coins were pump and dump BS so when a read “Safemoon” I thought this is so blatant a stupid scam probably won’t even take off and yet here we are 4billion $ was burned by idiots
this was some stunning journalism Coffee. the production value is astounding, the level of research and investigation is award winning. watching this channel grow has honestly been a privilege.
it’s so cool watching your newer videos and seeing the massive quality update in the robot bartender and then coming back to this. crazy that it’s only a 2 year difference. keep up the great work man
this is absolutely INSANE. production value on the vid in amazing and the fraud you've uncovered is unbelievable. cannot wait until part 2. congrats on a million subs, coffee! keep up the amazing work!
It's crazy epic to see how far this channel has come. I used to watch you when you had like 20k subs and made funny rants about some little scam here and there. Now you are really a full blown investigator and I am sure the best is still to come! Keep it up.
@@commiecomrade2644 I think what he meant was that it's easy to make things look believable with clever editing. Because that's all this really is. I'm not defending safemoon, just surprised how easily you people are fooled by nonsense content such as this.
coffee is the frigin GOAT (said I without knowing any other journalists) Badass investigative reporting AND a comedy special at the same time?? Didn't know it was possible
I tell you what's worse...Working a whole year only to find your research and resource are all floored and you mistakenly can't do math and miscalculate $96 million which your entire video is about..this is HILARIOUS!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love that Safemoon was built on the lie that the liquidity pool was untouchable by devs, but then they stopped pulling that punch and just said "send the money to us, we'll put it in liquidity we promise"
I feel ya. My friends in discord channel was all over this. I tried so hard to tell them this is 100% a scam but they get upset and say things like "Don't cry when we are all driving our lambos lol!!" I have accepted that most of the population are not that smart and are not willing to learn or do the research. Crypto just exposed that.
Dude, stop thinking you are so much smarter than everyone else. I mean this in the nicest way possible, but let these people play the lottery and screw off.
Agreeee with you 100%. I believed in them too until I did some research. I actually got banned permanently from Twitter because I questioned them and their liquidity pool.
As a small time toober, I'm worried about about doing any kind of sponsorship, in case it turns out that the company does something messed up in the future. These influencers must not live on the same planet as me, to go in on these blatant scams, against audiences they have built up, often over years... its genuinely baffling.
@@LasseRafnDk Or actually know enough to recognize blatant scams. It amazes me how people get into the space without knowing even a little bit of how it works.

This man is single-handedly exposing crypto scams and grifts. I hope all the younguns are paying attention to this channel. Hopefully it will allow them to see through the hype and prevent them from losing money.

The quality of these videos is astonishing. Youre one of my favorites!
The key to informing everyday people like us about advanced topics like crypto scams is to form it into a story. And damn, you are one amazing storyteller.
Agreed, top quality content
This video aged well lol. Safemoon founders John Karony, Kyle Nagy & Thomas Smith were just arrested.
I ignored safemoon based solely on the name, can't say I'm surprised by this.
Same. Obviously a quickly made up scam.
Amazingly if someone made a coin "get rich" and marketed it, people would still buy it.
Echoes of Squid Game Token, One Coin, Regal Coin, etc.
@@SamanthaIreneYTube i still can't believe people bought in to the squid game token.
Like, do you see the name?
Same I remember when it first came out and scam’s were everywhere it seemed like 9/10 coins were pump and dump BS so when a read “Safemoon” I thought this is so blatant a stupid scam probably won’t even take off and yet here we are 4billion $ was burned by idiots
I did the same fucking thing, bullet dodged.
this was some stunning journalism Coffee. the production value is astounding, the level of research and investigation is award winning. watching this channel grow has honestly been a privilege.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you do realise this has all been sorted a year ago.. hahahaha Nothing new Clickbait
@@neilsachy ah did someone lose out on a lot of their money and now they’re upset?
@@neilsachy Someone (you) lost a lot of money lmao
I feel that the FBI investigation might result in more jail-time - but they need to raise their entertainment-game to include a robot-bartender.
@@neilsachy Maybe so....but were there videos/documentaries about this out last year?!
it’s so cool watching your newer videos and seeing the massive quality update in the robot bartender and then coming back to this. crazy that it’s only a 2 year difference. keep up the great work man
SafeMoon to the public who believed they'd get rich.
SafeScam to the insiders who though they'd never get caught.
These pump and dump coins are evidence that the government must regulate cryptocurrency

@@wrathcyber Gonna cry? 😭
And there are still some cultists, despite seeing the video, telling people to buy.... CRAZY!
@@memyselfandi593 the Jim John's of crypto
this is absolutely INSANE. production value on the vid in amazing and the fraud you've uncovered is unbelievable. cannot wait until part 2. congrats on a million subs, coffee! keep up the amazing work!
watched the video twice. First because of the INSANE production quality and graphics and the second time I actually listened to the story
A lot of work goes into your videos 👏👏 awesome job much appreciated 👏

After hard investigations our team found out that zilla's Real name is Pinocchio 🤣
Crypto bros are just the male equivalent of MLM bossbabes. Same defensiveness, same talkingpoints, same profitmargins.
Pretty much lol same marketing and community tactics too
😄 🤣
so true
Accurate
There's a difference between "crypto bros" and shitcoiners/safemoon bag holders
Honestly hearing him say it's a bunch of complex things put together is like hearing Todd Howard saying " it just works".
The dedication he has to calling that man "papa" has me quaking
It's crazy epic to see how far this channel has come. I used to watch you when you had like 20k subs and made funny rants about some little scam here and there. Now you are really a full blown investigator and I am sure the best is still to come! Keep it up.
Not hard to with theatrics and a short attention span
@@nagorski11 wheres ur channel en?
@@nagorski11 Lmao not hard? Someone is jeaous. That or they bought Safemoon.
He's not an investigator though.
All his videos are BS.
@@commiecomrade2644 I think what he meant was that it's easy to make things look believable with clever editing. Because that's all this really is. I'm not defending safemoon, just surprised how easily you people are fooled by nonsense content such as this.
I don’t understand how people can invest into a business where the owner hide themselves.
You clearly have no idea what u talking abt

@@rcdyer aye don't be butthurt because he exposes the bs in crypto! Sometimes the truth hurts, but ya gotta accept it sooner or later.
I accidentally left a couple dollars in safemoon and forgot and when I found it months later it was 7 cents 🤣
I made some money from it earlier and sold
Mate the honesty. Made me chuckle a little. Glad you can laugh at yaself 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💪🏾
coffee is the frigin GOAT (said I without knowing any other journalists)
Badass investigative reporting AND a comedy special at the same time?? Didn't know it was possible
"You know it's so embarrassing to watch a man defend a token that was designed to rob him of his money" 😂😂😂😂
I’d say it’s more embarrassing he got a tattoo of this crap coin. Poor dude. Lol
Gove me crypto that doesnt do that lol
i didnt need to watch this to know SafeMoon was a bullshit scam: its literally in the name.
copium is a helluva drug
I tell you what's worse...Working a whole year only to find your research and resource are all floored and you mistakenly can't do math and miscalculate $96 million which your entire video is about..this is HILARIOUS!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"I only liked him when he was depressed."
That… Says so much about that man.
Dam.
"I'm sure we'll see this on Netflix someday"
That would be so bad.
SafeMoon too the moon 🚀🚀🌝

Long as capitalism exists. Especially the late stage neoliberal variety. @squibbelsmcjohnson
"The only time I like him is when he's depressed"
I HAVE to start using that in my life
I love that Safemoon was built on the lie that the liquidity pool was untouchable by devs, but then they stopped pulling that punch and just said "send the money to us, we'll put it in liquidity we promise"
As it turns out, code law! Whoda thunk it? (Good developers, perhaps?)
Coffee was only off on his “estimation” by 93 million dollars. Hahahahahahahahahahah
@@longjohnsilvergroghan6630 and? Still right.
What ever happened to creating a real business providing a real service or product to satisfied customers?
That would require talent. Crypto scammers aren't would-be classical entrepreneurs, they're would-be deadbeats.
I guess that takes too much effort?
Nobody wants to work anymore!
Seemed to have died 2 years ago
It died when people realized that you could make just as much quick money being complete liars than actually trying.
It's like watching a scam-coin murder-mystery soap-opera.
We need to support Coffee, he's doing the real work here. Takes major balls to do this.
I feel ya. My friends in discord channel was all over this. I tried so hard to tell them this is 100% a scam but they get upset and say things like "Don't cry when we are all driving our lambos lol!!"
I have accepted that most of the population are not that smart and are not willing to learn or do the research. Crypto just exposed that.
If you think about the most average person 50% of people are less intelligent then them
Dude, stop thinking you are so much smarter than everyone else. I mean this in the nicest way possible, but let these people play the lottery and screw off.
Agreeee with you 100%. I believed in them too until I did some research. I actually got banned permanently from Twitter because I questioned them and their liquidity pool.
The boys and their lambos... I hope they didn't lose much.
@@mathiasdionisio5777 Lambos are associated with scams now in my brain 😭😂
"The only time i like John is when he's depressed"

As a small time toober, I'm worried about about doing any kind of sponsorship, in case it turns out that the company does something messed up in the future. These influencers must not live on the same planet as me, to go in on these blatant scams, against audiences they have built up, often over years... its genuinely baffling.
think of all the whiskey you could buy!
They just count on people to forget, which unfortunately a lot of their fans will.
Once you get that big it doesn't matter what you do to your audience theyll still blindly support you
Tool on timmy
always do your research and stay cynical :)
I know 2 people that spend a lot on safemoon. Neither of them wanted to listend that this is a scam. Great work coffee, like always.
because its not a scam lol, this is all bs

Here’s one: stay clear of cryptocurrency unless you’re the one in charge of the exchange 🤪
@@LasseRafnDk Or actually know enough to recognize blatant scams. It amazes me how people get into the space without knowing even a little bit of how it works.
Coffee is my new favorite youtuber. This guy is like the SEC if the SEC was run by humans.
So far he has done more investigations uncovering crypto schemes than the actual SEC.
Fr, unfortunately our SEC and most of our government are run by corrupt politicians, lizards, and human robots. And elite bloodline where the elitists help other elites , while pissing all over the poor. They only target people who aren’t apart of the club. “It’s a big club and you ain’t in it”
Everybody acts tough until Coffeezilla makes a video about them.
This man is single-handedly exposing crypto scams and grifts. I hope all the younguns are paying attention to this channel. Hopefully it will allow them to see through the hype and prevent them from losing money.
Every thief in trouble will say:
"Thief! Stop the thief!"

I always feel so dumb when I watch stuff like this. None of it makes sense to me
And yet you are still smarter than the idiots who invest in these scams.
You're watching stuff that is actually pretty complex. Don't feel dumb, many terms they use require a lot of extra knowledge around the topics.
I understand 5% but makes me feel smart lol
Don't worry. The people in crypto don't understand the crap and ideologies they're pedaling.
Typical fintech jargon, designed to make crypto seem so complex that only the scammers/scammed are the only ones seemingly smart enough to understand
Man this channel is fast becoming a personal favourite of mine. Love the detective, sci-fi noir settings you have going on with top rate investigative work. Stay safe Coffeezilla, we need you to crack down on the sins of this cyber city we find ourselves in!

@@davidb6722 oh I just saw the tax numbers were incorrect. However, that doesn't debunk the whole claim.
