- carlosjoe22 3y agoHave your bitcoins or cryptocurrency been stolen from your wallet, or have you invested in a bogus crypto investment organization that turns out to be a scam? If so, I have some excellent news for you. I initially lost $489,050 on a crypto investment platform in just three months. I contacted the authorities, who introduced me to QUICK RECOVERY , which assisted me in recovering all of my money in less than two days. I'm speaking out to raise awareness about cryptocurrency thieves and do everything I can to decrease the number of victims to the bare minimum. Simply contact; davidmoore9951 @ GMAIL . COM if you have been a victim.

- momentmaker 3y agovery similar to the new netflix documentary bitconned
- jrmg 3y agoAlso reminds me of ‘Onecoin’ - similar ‘nation’ framing and mysterious leaders. There’s a good BBC podcast series about it, “The Missing Crypto Queen”: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07nkd84/episodes/downloads https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07nkd84/episodes/downloads
- empath-nirvana 3y ago> with video messages of support from a clutch of celebrities released on Twitter the following month They really should charge more of these celebrities for endorsing pyramid schemes.
- jrmg 3y agoIt is unclear how these messages of support were obtained, but all four celebrities are available to hire through the website Cameo, which allows people to pay high-profile individuals to read out a script for them, for anything from a birthday greeting to a business marketing video. The Norris “shout out” to HyperVerse states that “under the leadership of CEO Steven, HyperVerse will be the leader of metaverse space”. Wozniak said: “I’m here to support Steven and HyperVerse”, and “I can’t wait for the HyperVerse”. Norton described HyperVerse as a “decentralised metaverse platform with infinite possibilities” and encouraged people to sign up. “I strongly believe Steven will lead HyperVerse to success. Let’s all join the HyperVerse. What are you waiting for? Do it now.” The video messages of support were released in January 2022 as HyperVerse was ramping up its global recruitment drive. Guardian Australia contacted Wozniak, Norris, Norton and Bass for comment, but received no reply. There is no suggestion they had any knowledge of HyperVerse’s business model when filming the messages of support and they make no reference to money or investments.
- michael_j_x 3y agoit's crazy that Wozniak would participate in such a service. Is he running out of money?
- KomoD 3y agoIt's a very low effort way for him to make money, $500 to record a 1-5 minute long personal video, or even more for "business" videos, $10k/video + $2,5k-$12,5k for license depending on duration
- mihaic 3y agoThat's very cynical. What's the point of "fuck you" money if you still have to be a talking money and sell your reputation?
- kelseyfrog 3y agoThe article portrays this as a negative, but all I'm seeing is an innovative way to save on sky-high CEO cost. We've always dreamed of operating without and now we have, it seems like exactly the opposite reaction.
- heisenbit 3y agoExactly, since when does a CEO in a Hyperverse company need to exist in this universe? It is enough if he/she/it exists in some other timeline and can be leveraged across the Multiverse. Clearly just another attempt to badmouth crypto.
- reactordev 3y agoIt’s when the Hyperverse crosses into the real-a-verse that a person with a social security number or birth certificate is required. You can’t just make people up. If you operate without a CEO then operate without one. Don’t pretend one exists to get real-a-verse money for your hyperverse. That’s fraud.
- trogdor 3y agoWhoosh
- freitzkriesler2 3y agoAI powered CEO? I love it already.
- ykonstant 3y agoAmazing savings on yachts, too; all they need is a 3D printer, a bathtub full of water and the tears of executives for salinity.

- rchaud 3y agoThe first giveaway that this is a scam (beyond the Chuck Norris 'celebrity' endorsement) is that a GS exec of any competence wouldn't be wasting time chasing the crowdfunded civilian dollar while ZIRP money was flying around the usual traditional finance channels (pension fund, PE and HF investments).
- dafelst 3y agoCrypto people being dishonest and trying to mislead people? I'm shocked. Shocked!
- DonHopkins 3y agoWhy would anyone actually expect for any crypto company not to be a total scam, and for any of the people running it actually using their real names in the first place, or even exist?

- leptons 3y agohttps://web3isgoinggreat.com https://web3isgoinggreat.com has no shortage of content.
- Beijinger 3y ago“decentralised metaverse platform with infinite possibilities” He lives in the metaverse....
- rnk 3y agoAnd they called him Hiro Protagonist.
- nocoiner 3y agoThe wildest part of this article is the part about the successor scam, which was touted by masked, pseudonymous representatives - and people willingly gave them their money! Boggles the mind. There’s also an equally wild article linked in a sidebar about one of the victims who got scammed out of $30k, but then kept sending good money after bad trying to recoup her losses.
- tempodox 3y agoIn the next installment, the representatives will not only wear masks but also striped prisoner suits like the Daltons in Lucky Luke. And people will still give them money.
- mc8165682 3y agoSome recovery companies will take your money again, loosing money online is very common in our days, I was a victim of investment scam. I contacted several recovery companies online..it was all tragic story. I didn’t tell my wife I invested online but at that point I couldn’t hold it. I told my wife and believe me she was the solution to my problem..Her friend had same problem and have someone who helped her figure it out..At first I thought it was all going to be crap as always, but to my greatest surprise it was a job well done. I wouldn’t have believed if someone told me because of my experience with different recovery companies with series of unfulfilled promises. Now I’m convinced from experience. I recommend: recoverydarek@gmail.com to anyone in need of similar help. They are real and legit.
- Nursie 3y agoThis email address and blurb seems to have been spammed on things as diverse as a wine blog and an obituary, anywhere they can shove it with little oversight. No, they are not legit. No, they cannot recover your money from scammers. Yes, this is just another scam and it's right here in plain sight on hacker news.
- AtlasBarfed 3y agoIs his name Satoshi?
- MisterBastahrd 3y agoMaybe he was an NFT all along.
- whoknew1122 3y agoI'm not for victim blaming generally, but who puts their money into a company that says this: >"...create a parallel system of existence that will change how people live, how we interact with people around the world, and even how companies and corporations will conduct business." What is supposed to mean, other being some thought-terminating word salad to fool less cynical people?
- rnk 3y agoHow is this different than the argument to sell NFTs that are jpegs that somehow have some value, or token's having value from all these random crypto sites. And they take your 'hard crypto' eth or btc and somehow manipulate trading to make the ftx tokens worth billions. I interviewed at a company that was making tools for analyzing this world and they had similar arguments about the world changing impact of their analysis tools.
- ceejayoz 3y ago> How is this different than the argument to sell NFTs... It isn't. Those were scams too.
- whoknew1122 3y agoExactly this.
- sausagefeet 3y agoIsn't this taken from the WeWork pitch?
