      ​@@Creatorph ​ STOP it. The dude is clearly a scumbag. He does loads of Freudian slips where it's obvious he knows very well what goes on but he acts stupid. How is that not obvious. This circular argumentative. When he very well knows "LOCKED LP" is THE MAIN marketing ploy. They used that wording because it was that what worked. Now he starts backtracking like it wasn't all that important and they really told people in the Discord they used some of the LP sometimes.

      @@Creatorph Thomas (Papa) probably was in on the whole thing, but my guess is that he was kinda left in the dark on a lot of things, and ended up just following orders (probably was planted as a potential fall guy, but got too popular amongst the "community," but that's just pure speculation). Sadly, we'll probably never know the whole truth about this. I definitely respect him more than most, especially Karony, because he's willing to actually answer hard questions (and not sue his parents lmfao), but I still think he's undoubtedly a guilty party.

    How is someone intelligent enough to scam a million dollars yet not intelligent enough to not answer all these damning questions? Dude agreed to this interview as a means to clear his name somehow, however it makes him look way worse and exposes everyone else in the ring. If I were this guy I'd be on the run.

    • @magildachunks
      @magildachunks 2 года назад +125

      Because it has nothing to do with intelligence. It's about ego. He believes that he is smarter than the public and the interviewer and can outsmart any trap or evidence they have.
      It happens all the time in police interrogations. Arrogance gets the best of these people. Rarely is a person who is confident enough to steal millions from people also humble enough to keep quiet about it.

      Im confused did you not see coffee’s video before this? It was heavily critical of ol’ papa mentioning him as one of the main scammers. Honestly this video was slightly less damning because Tom (is that his name?) seems genuinely confused about some of the stuff going on. Gives me the vibe of someone who was aware they were all up to sketchy stuff but couldn’t fully tell how it was all working out because who can shit gets complicated quick. It does say something when he left before shit hit the fan entirely and could’ve made way more money

    • @Luckypants2113
      @Luckypants2113 2 года назад +9

      Its because his answers don’t need to be good in order to clear his name. At least not to some people, particularly the people who have bought into the scam. A lot of people will look at this and say “well he was willing to talk so that means he’s innocent. If he was guilty of fraud he wouldn’t be doing the interview” disregarding the fact that his answers don’t add up. There is an upside to getting out ahead of the issue even if your explanations are flimsy at best. He can draw attention away from himself by just throwing other people under the bus and playing dumb. From the outside looking in he’s clearly full of shit, but if your someone who’s bought into the scam you wanna rationalize it and hold onto the hope that these people aren’t malicious and scammed you. By doing the interview it does to some degree help his image, at least to certain people.

I genuinely think this is based in a narcissistic stance that they are just more knowledgeable and people that question this are looked down upon because "should've RTFM LMAO".
    It's very clear that the heat this project is taking him by surprise, they wanted to make money from the token at the expense of investors that's very obvious so now his strategy is shifting to be the charismatic tech dude that edges around his honesty and seems to be clear in his communication.

    Just so this doesn't get misinterpreted. When migrating from the v1 to v2 liquidity pool, a certain amount of each asset was obviously taken and sold to an exchange. This money was illegitimately acquired but did not actually effect the price directly since the ratio of the two assets would have remained the same. The effect this did have was decreasing liquidity and thus increasing volatility (which is what the interviewee mentioned).

    When Thomas was talking about the "Excess" tokens during the V1 to V2 Contract he had to be talking about the 1,000:1 ratio that happened. When the migration happened our Holdings dropped by 3 ZEROS but so did the Tokens. I personally went from 400,000,000 to 400,000 tokens but my value stayed the same. The problem is if they took those 399,600,000 tokens from me and then sold them to Bitmart at the new price then they got paid. They claimed tokens were being burned and we would receive the tokenomics. This further fuels the question as to why did they force everyone to migrate or risk losing it all.
