This just pisses me off even more, this dude is so obviously lying through his teeth and the mainstream media is doing nothing. In fact, if anything, there are fluff pieces defending him, unfuckingbelievable!
It's because the general media doesn't understand any of this crypto bullshit. Their audience doesn't understand any of this crypto bullshit. And they see no value in trying to teach an audience what a complicted thing actually is before making a big stink about something nobody has ever fucking heard of.
To the average person, this dude didn't take Wall Street for a ride, he took scheming morons for a ride. But if Wall Street, and by extention everybody's retirement bucket, had been the one explioited then journalists and viewers alike would show as much interest as they did with Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes. Because her's is a very simple straight forward story, plus she doesn't have that ridiculous hyphented name that makes every headline that much harder to understand.
But add a layer of blockchain-cryptowizard-neckbeardy-illegalporncoin-tech foo foo, and nobody fucking gives a shit anymore because, to a layman, it really just boils down to closet pedophiles and darknet creeps scamming
themselves out of fake money... and there are more important things to worry about than how much to care about those lazy unshowered morons sucking each other's cheesy dicks long enough to cry about it when they finally come up for air.
If you want journalists to care, the audience needs to care. But for the audience to care they have to understand enough of it to have an opinion and take sides. And to the general audience, this whole fiasco can be boiled down to two sides who each deserve whatever befalls them and it's not worth trying to care about either one of them.
