Vincent Briatore the Ethereum Evangelist - Scammer, Sellout, Shill? and Liar.

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

I am a small fish but I can't let this go unsaid. Someone has to call him out. I used to like his videos they were informative and gave you actual facts.

Vincent is the self proclaimed Ethereum Evangelist with 8k subscribers on youtube.

The last three or more videos he has promoted coins with not alot going for them. They are not unique and there is no new news about the coins.

This blog is a follow on from the fake hype scams carried out on the below coins. I am not saying any of the coins are scams just the fake hype around them is. I do say CHC was a dead and abandoned coin though because it is true.

If you want more details on how it all went down check this one out.

His latest video has got me angry. He is recommending coins that are already primed or pumped with NO valid reasons to buy in.

He started off with CHC. On the 12 of July he tweets he got in . Right here it is dirt cheap around 80 cents, he says he puts in a small amount only 2BTC.

He goes on for ages and ages dribbling away, at this stage it is up around 90%. He mentions the whitepaper twice. When I researched this coin around the time his vid came out there was no white paper. There still is no white paper that I can see.

If you researched anything about CHC it told you it was an abandoned coin around 2-3 years ago. Basically dead. The only thing he mentions about this coin is it is a master node coin. Nothing else. What are the other reasons to buy in? There was none.

You can clearly see where the whales and inside people are accumulating coming up to the fake hype. Before this there was next to zero volume.

Because of Cyptopias terrible charting system it hid the dumps well. But not if you used other charts you can see the dumps like this 90% dump on 60million worth of coin. They also used fake hype to move people to SYNX which repeated the same process just faster.

Second he promotes Safexchange (SEC). There is nothing exciting going on with these guys. No news, no breakthrough tech and there is already other coins doing the same thing that we more developed. He talks about his ear to the ground or some bullshit. (more likely a shill for the pump groups).
Of course it is already partially pumped and it pumps then dumps but not too badly luckily. He claims 2000% gain. It barely made 200% and is well down from that now.

Then he promotes Dope coin (DOPE) 600-1000% gains in 10 days by the end of the month. Again no reason to promote it. Why would anyone make that claim with segwit etc coming. Again you notice high volume buy ins on this coin and all other marijuana coins before the release of the video, again it pumps a little bit then dumps back to almost 0% gain. Same with the rest of the weed coins as they follow each other.

He talks about a tip someone gave him and talking to the in crowd or some bollocks.

Video released somewhere around the blue mark on all weed related coins that had already been pumped. All the graphs look the same for these weed related coins.

And lastly the one that has got me pissed is his myriad coin. Again same pattern as before. This time the coin is a little bit pumped already has he and his group of low lifes whoever they are have already spammed facebook groups and forums.

Nothing interesting or no news going on with Myriad. He again gives zero explanation as to why this coin is worth buying into and there is no announcements or news. At the end of his video he says once the video goes live he will buy in, he can't even look at the camera, nervously touches his face then grimaces....... By that stage it has already pumped 20%, there is no way he bought in after the video, this really bugs me his body language says it all, hes a liar.

Here is the vid 12 minutes of him saying nothing about Myriad other than to buy it but don't buy it just because he said so. UPDATE since posting I cant find this video on his channel anymore. Though it still plays?


Backup youtube link as the video was removed from his channel. Try this if vid doesn't play

And its gone. This was a over for MYRIAD very quickly.

He has sold out for sure. He looks increasingly nervous and shifty in his videos. And all four coins have nothing to offer in the way of new announcements, new tech or anything unique. The first one we all know was false hype scam on an abandoned coin. Even a new person to the game could have figured that out after not being able to find hte CHC whitepaper he mentioned he viewed twice.

He uses pictures of hot girls in the first half second of his video to attract guys attention?? pretty sad really. But he has obviously profited heavily off manipulation people with his latest videos.

I suppose if you get in early with his videos and get out early you could get away with a few coins but for you to win someone is losing but mostly the scammers are winning big time.

He is manipulating people for personal gain, I can't say for sure he is colluding with pump groups or just with a few big whales, but if it looks like a duck.....

I may get a lot of hate for this but it is worth it.

Seconds after he says he is going to buy in.

UPDATE

So aparantly he also did GCR but deleted all the evidence same as MYRIAD, he promoted it after DOPE coin.
(credit to Paul Pereira for pointing that out).

I missed GCR.jpg

Sort:  

So aparantly there is other coins he promoted but I missed them as he deletes them if they immediately bomb. I found one of them and added it in.

Post has been invaded by HighonCoins and team explicit ... even a confusing post from the scammer himself. Upvote other posts to send them down the list.

Many have been spreading Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (often shortened to FUD) a disinformation strategy to go against the Chain Coin Hodlers Movement. We are here as a team to support this Explicit movement!

I remind you that we are in an very early stage at CHC, the shoot up was to fast, a lot of people were not prepared for this and a lot of people sold, and now we are again in accumulating phase. From now on, we want slow steady growth and we are very confident in this one.

There is a lot going on behind the scenes. Soon there will be a second press release, new exchanges will come on board, devs are coming back, masternodes alone will make this worthwile and a lot of youtubers are supporting the project. Again, supply is very low at only 15mil coins. HODLers will accumulate on dips and one day we will control over 50% of the coins and HODL til 1000,-USD.

If we control most of the coins and HODL, price will rise inevitably, demand will be big but supply low. CHC has actual value with it's masternodes that is paying very good. It is not some shitty coin like dopecoin, potcoin, safeexechange that cost cents. (These are the real pump and dumps). Worthless coins with no value.

Do not panic guys, dips are normal and and shoud be used to buy even more at lower price, soon big money comes into the markets again after segwit, CHC will get more and more attention, also Koreans are now building groups and supporting CHC. Community is getting bigger and bigger every day. I am very confident. Let's HODL for the moon!

Great to see they only came running back for the money. They will abandon the project again especially since CHC is dead again.

What happened to CHC?

Excellent post. I made a video on him and High on coins. Two charlatans and frauds. please watch

What happened to the video?

How come it doesn't work?

love a good scam read !! these people must get the spotlight put on them

Yes the more people that see this the better for sure. It has a lot of views and I am posting it externally.

I never said anything about CANNABIS coin... it was DOPE Coin, actually.

Wow the Liar shows his ugly face.

personally know Vinvent and he is a good man, insulting his looks well thats not productive whatsoever, in this crypto world ive learned sometimes you get it wrong a few time sometime you nail it on the head. He has obviously done well for himself and that should be inspiring to us all however as an adult you must make your own decisions and direct your life from your research and opinions do not blame this youtuber for sharing his opinion on Dope coin. i cant say i know him very well but can say he doesnt seem to have anything to hide either.

Dope coin is actually a very good one 👍

Indeed I was subscribed to his Inner circel Tweet, he sent a tweet about MYR, in a mather of a second I went to check and the coins was already pumped, while the tweet just got in a second before..., just after he posted the video you saw again a pump... this happend also with GRC and SEC too...I must be honest I was first a believer till MYR tweet...

He took down all evidence of MYR and GRC off his video channel too.

Nope, never made a video about GRC, it was only on YouTube.

He also hosted a scam ico which I lost 28 etc on. I used to like his videos but he blatantly told me in a series of emails that he was a scam artist and that there would be no refund. I have since learned my lesson.

can you screenshot the juicy parts of those emails and post it here?

Another excellent post, resteemed.

Cheers dude ... write an article and ill return the favor :P

I've watched several of his videos, and like most other people covering cryptos, I put very little faith in what I hear. That said, based on email records I've seen recently, he scammed someone out of 28 ETC, and that is something that's simply unacceptable and cause for me to immediately stop watching him altogether.

That said, there are too many shills out there to count. Whenever I see someone covering cryptos trying to sell me on a course or see coins they've previously recommended tank shortly thereafter, I immediately consider them entertainers more than valuable sources of info. Far too many people invest on the word of these guys, putting money in their pockets as they dump garbage coins on their gullible followers. It's shameful without a doubt, but at the end of the day you have to blame the people who put their money in a coin recommended by a guy with a poor track record who often times has been in cryptos for about four months.

The honest truth is I didn't scam the guy out of 28 ETC. He got scammed by someone impersonating me, which happens often to many crypto-people on social media.
But hey, who cares about the truth, right?

THanks for this I fell for some of this tricks. Didn't lose much but I am inspired to post like this also.
