It’s not unusual in the industry for celebrities to buy and sell altcoin projects, but a new video shows Jake Paul working on a different level. For details cryptocoin.com keep reading.
Jake Paul turns the corner with ‘pump/dump’ on these altcoin projects
The video that Coffeezilla posted on YouTube revealed that YouTuber and professional boxer Jake Paul made millions by promoting worthless tokens to his fans. In the video, Coffeezilla showed Jake Paul doing paid promotions for Safemoon (SAFEMOON), Yummy Coin (YUMMY), Milf Token (MILF), and more cryptocurrencies. However, it does not label these promotions as paid ads and gives fans the impression that these are personal preferences/approvals.
Boxer creates a new wallet for each altcoin he wants to promote. This wallet is then funded with tokens, most likely by the altcoin developer. He then uses social media, usually Twitter, to praise the project. Shortly after that, the funds from the new unknown wallet are transferred to a new wallet, which is registered in OpenSea under the name “PRBLM CHILD”. Apparently, this is Jake Paul’s nickname, so he’s probably the owner of the wallet.
But just so that there is no doubt as to whether or not Jake Paul owns it, Coffeezilla explains it. According to the video, the first transaction to the PRBLM CHILD wallet came directly from Jake Paul’s official wallet. So it connects to it.
Will there be any legal consequences for the actions taken?
Jake Paul made over $2 million with these pump/dump plans. On the other hand, all the projects it promotes have lost more than 90% of their value or have been abandoned. Already, the boxer is facing a class action lawsuit through litigation for promoting Safemoon from those who have invested in the token. But failing to reveal that all these tweets are paid promotions could land him in even more legal trouble. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) can address this, and if some of the tokens are identified as unregistered securities, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may be interested.
It should also be noted that Jake Paul is not the first celebrity or the only person to support dubious crypto projects without revealing their affiliation to them. Last year, Kim Kardashian introduced Ethereum Max to her more than 200 million followers on Instagram, in what UK regulators describe as the biggest crypto promotion ever, without informing her followers that it’s a paid promotion.
