1:41 they're like scam it's just a paddle i can't believe it that's like all the people who are buying xbox boxes remember that ████ oh yeah boxes yeah and i just bought it and i just got a paddle because i thought they were ████ giving me the whole scent it's a good paddle because they kept showing the board did you get the paddle no because i moved so i went to my old other battles damn dude so you wouldn't have even gotten the board because you were gonna maybe you didn't get the board take your calls i said i wanna i want a refund and they're like sorry we already shipped it i'm like no you did it i bought this an hour ago you're like we're that good sorry you shipped it so her name is nicole hutchinson from tennessee she inherited her mother's house after she died and she split the 280 000 proceeds
2:32 with her dad melvin right the cash from the sale was earmarked to help the 24 year old start a new life with her family in california in a bid to make friends after moving to a new city hutchinson downloaded a dating app and it was here she met and befriended a guy called hal h-a-o oh man it's like the tinder player ████ asian guy did this ████ yeah the two struck up a friendship it was hal that was his first oh yeah maybe it's hal yeah shallow hal no it's it's detroit how the two uh struck up a friendship and she felt a connection to the man as he claimed he was from the same chinese town she had been adopted from playing the hardship damn he did he did his research because then tell me a story right and then she's like oh i was i was born here no way me dude and she's like oh we have so many in common yeah
3:23 what's your birthday me too [Laughter] that's good that would be good if you also had the same birthday that's too good we're like how much money you have me too you know what we should go 50 50 on this crypto thing so that's where it gets there how told hutchinson he invested money into cryptocurrency and encouraged her to give it a go as she'd never invested cash before hutchinson was initially skeptical but says howe was able to reassure her that he understood the market well he told her to set up an account on the legitimate crypto trading site crypto.com but then sent her a new link and told her to transfer money there explaining that it was a cryptocurrency exchange platform oh boy hutchinson started small but was encouraged to start investing
4:14 bigger amounts she told cbs he's just he was just uh he just kept saying things of like look at this money that can help support your family obviously that's what i wanted to do and when her account started to show profits hutchinson then suggested to dad melvin that he invests too oh no within months their accounts showed a balance of 1.2 million dollars and they decided they wanted to cash out how do you think they showed the profit they're using they're using a diff different api feed into a fake website so they can put whatever numbers they want in there yeah absolutely within months after their account showed the balance of 1.2 million all right they wanted to cash out but before they could get their hands on the cash she was told she'd need to pay a tax bill of 380 000 it was then that she had learned that all the investments she made weren't
5:05 real and that all their money had gone directly to their scammers the eye because they're creating a new crypto task force really there's so much ████ going on crypto task force this is her just i like how they caught her crying dang the emotional storytelling that's a good photo yeah it's a a photo i cry you gotta you gotta have the emotion as part of the narrative otherwise people don't learn their lessons that's true because a part of me just went damn you got suckered if only you're a part of crypto corner with steve i mean uh we've crushed this ████ market i gotta say that's pretty crazy you googled the first time i wore a jake a hat a tear hat on jk and then remember that well i had to buy that hat so i probably took two weeks so i bought that hat in february of 2021 and here we are today so just google the
5:56 price back then with tara luna february 2021 and google price today what was the price back that's been incredible uh i was buying it five bucks damn what is that i know it just i mean it just hit 95.96 yesterday it it all-time high was 102 like and it went back down to like 58 60. we beat the entire ████ market that's the beauty she should have listened she should have listened to steve but steve's a scam artist don't remember that that's right i mean you could literally google when i wore the hat and then you see how erect everybody got can people google it like when did steve wear tara and you should be able to go with that well you can you can go to jk's video history just go find the ████ hat dude yeah ████ yeah i should have listened to steve hutchinson and her dad are now living in an rv but have decided to share their story as a warning to others she said i
6:46 just hope others don't have to fall for it so if me sharing this story helps that i don't like how they i don't like how they talk about now we live in an rv like it's a bad thing countries can be cool our views are free no this is california that's california oh ████ they're not ████ that's not that big of a deal dude rvs in california they're still like over a hundred grand they're pretty sweet yeah you if you have an rv if it's new you're rich ████ who dude yeah i mean if you're gonna live in an rv anywhere at least a state where there's nothing that's gonna ████ with you does it say what crypto that he says that she was getting or what kind of rvs it's the ████ aluminum ones i don't know all airstreams are sick they aren't cool right dude rvs
7:37 i would love to live in an rv everyone's totally will one day if i'm going i'm going down this trajectory i'm laughing because this is my life but i think it's amazing she thinks it's a tragedy well i i think i think that they got a house and then they like took the money yeah and then put it in a crypto and then they got turned into an rv so joe where did you where'd you go wrong man where'd you where'd you i cashed out early yeah you know um are you are you sure yeah um um now i'm homeless okay for a month i used to live in a garage even went even more down in the dumps so uh yeah i'm kind of struggling and um don't know what to do with my life um okay yeah all right so we won't be seeing any any news from you in the future about any cool stuff going on any cool purchases nothing
8:28 no i mean like this is debt probably right i got a new truck yeah but you got a new truck again uh yeah no yeah if joe gets a house dead dead it's not cause i own it no take it out dude that ████ is sick that better not be the one they live in their shoes i don't think it's the one they live in that looks like the kill bill one of the ████ joshua tree airbnb but that's that's sick as ████ i'd want one of those one of these he wants to put in his ████ backyard a lot of people are getting ████ so hard on like just just the crypto space though because um you know there's like a lot of people like in this situation where they're like oh i know a friend who's like really successful in crypto like they can help you out you think that's a scam dude a lot of the times yeah it depends right what's your plan i always want to know what your plan is right okay so you want
9:19 to get into crypto cool what are you doing it for do you have a plan like do you do you have a goal just want to be rich right right what's the point because like for example i was buying a coin called v chain when it was like a couple cents it ran up like 22 cents i sold it back then me and my crypto corner crew sold it back then right and so you could see me wearing a hat and shirt then but i was like i'm not in this for long there's a play money move i'm getting the ████ out and then i'm able to stack even more luna that way and if you're able to make moves like with a plan then you can get in and out of things more more i would argue that 90 plus percent of retail investors that get into those things are first hearing about the euphoria and the glory of just being like yo i made this much money and so people want to just make the money without doing the research which is like it's it's a age-old testament to just like i don't even want to call it greed you know what i mean because it's oh
10:09 it's greed bro it's so innocent yeah you know what i'm saying though like well yeah that's true because i think there's a difference like when you're like already in it and then you've gotten a taste of it and then you're like all right well uh my plan was to catch up once it got here but uh it's so good now i'm gonna hold on to that that's why we don't have a plan yeah that's a different kind of greed you know like abandoning your plan and just wanting more when you already got some but i feel like a lot of people who are just like getting introduced to it it's almost more innocent than greed which is why they have to sometimes endure scams in order to like almost pay their tuition fees to learn of like the power of that space because you know 300 grand is a big this this specific way of getting scammers like almost not even a crypto based thing it's just someone didn't know anything about anything and you didn't do money just trusting someone this is harder actually because
10:59 like i've told steve i've been like scammed before too where it's like you just think you're like participating in a protocol that like has a lucrative reward you know what i mean and then you're just doing stuff but that's your wallet to it that's what you think yeah you link your like you put your seed phrase right you know what i mean that's like you thinking you're even doing research and that ████ is like pretty engineered like the way that they set it up it like speaks the language to get you this is even harder because this is like a human being you know what i mean manipulating another human that's what's weird is that it could have been anything like this person probably would have been a victim of stocks any kind of real estate yeah just like any investment the lack of not having another peer to be like hey can you look at this and tell me if this is on the level like that obviously didn't happen i think that's the thing trusting up here yeah i think yeah but that's what i think that's where the second third party like when someone presents you something you go that's cool let me look
11:49 into this and you're supposed to read up on it and you're supposed to ask other people and cross-reference yeah just like because like if you only have one source like in her case i guarantee you this person was the only ████ that was her gateway to crypto and this person that's how you get scammed is and also they were like sort of in a relationship yeah yeah so like it was probably so easy for her to be like yeah my boyfriend told me this yeah but then it's a boyfriend that was she never met right so she was basically not only getting catfished she was also being scammed she was that's a double whammy damn and was it even his real mark yeah dude was it even his real dick picture yeah what kind of dick pic do you send is that an article yes it's an honor you want me to pull it up because this goes straight to patreon if i do that because i i feel like really bad because people out there are easily like trusting of someone that
12:41 they like and then people that you like doesn't necessarily mean like they're going to be great or like you could trust them 100 you got to test them and i think that's really important [Music]
