Not posting anymore.
I’m done posting on steemit. May even power it all down. Faceless losers like @berniesanders flag all my posts with an army of downvoters behind him. No wonder his rep is -18. Funny how people who never show their face on the internet have the most balls. You guys will be the death of this blockchain. Going around policing the place like Mr. Layhey on Trailor Park Boys and then saying it’s for “preserving the reward pool” for the minnows. Just be real and say you have something personal against me. Don’t say it’s cause I’m a scammer that promoted Bitconnect. Say it’s because I have too much Steem Power and I just popped back up out of no where. None of the people who invested in bitconnect are mad at me or blame me. The only people that are mad are people like you who had nothing to do with it and think you know what my true motives are or were. The only people calling me names are the people who just found out who I was. So have fun playing mall cop Mr Layhey. I’m done. On second thought, I won’t power down. I’ll buy more Steem Power to piss you off and curate content I actually like and earn Steem that way. The way Steem was supposed to be used. Unlike you who spends his life watching for people he doesn’t like just so he can flag them. Hopefully you get a life soon and become a more positive driven force. Peace.
The thing is Trevon, you did make a nice profit from BitConnect (according to your videos) and many people took your advice and invested their money there, unwisely many of them put much more than they could afford and lost money that they really needed for their personal necessities, yes it is their mistake, but you helped them to take this decision. Now do I know you were aware that BitConnect would ultimately fail? I am not sure, maybe you too were deluded into believing all the hype this platform made or maybe you did know and acted just for your personal gain without the plight of other people mattering to you. Only you know what really happened. I think the thing that most people don't like is the attitude, not just yours but of all the people who promoted BitConnect and haven't even had the courage to say "Hey I was wrong, I am sorry I was also fooled". But I also see some of you have already started promoting some other shady programs, I think these are some of the reasons why there is so much negativity towards you.
Use your great motivational skills in trying to heal the wounds Bitconnect left and you might get back to being an admired member of the community. But complaining won't get you anywhere. I believe this is good advice.
By the way I personally don't like flagging and have never done it, but some people do think it is the only way to keep Steemit completely honest.
No offence but it has nothing to do with Trevon people putting money into Bitconnect he never explicitly said to anyone to go dump their whole life savings into it. Even if he was promoting to get referrals, which is fair enough. It's still the viewers that made the decision. I don't think he owes anyone anything.
No he promoted a ponzi scheme which is illegal. he will lose the lawsuit
You have no proof that he knew it was a ponzi scheme. He was just trying to help people earn some money.
LMAO IS ANYONE ACTUALLY READING THIS?!
Tell that to those that have lost life savings because of his selfish promotions
Class Action Lawsuit Against Bitconnect and Influencers (Yes, including your idol Trevon James):
https://www.scribd.com/document/369956633/Class-Action-Complaint-BitConnect#from_embed
Instead of giving some back power up and brag about how much you made...just 1 brings your steemit acount details to court and that will be siezed
P.S.
and maybe giving back the scammed money to the victims would help too.....
(just saying)
There is a lawsuit against trevon
Are you actually stupid enough to think that Trevon holds the 'stolen' money gtfo
lmao look at trevons wallet bro... where do you think he got it from.
I've followed him for over a year now and watched his crypto portfolio grow... its called investments 'bro'
Some people took advantage of bitconnect. Nobody force anyone to invest in this lending platform. I mean its common sense , the whole thing was a huge gamble.
It's 100% personal, you're a scammy fuck and I'm going to use my power as I see fit. Now, GFY.
Doing god's work
@berniesanders - a philosophical fist full of steel comin' at ya!! Impressive.
Thank you for doing the community a service and calling out scammers. He is still promoting his lending platforms and btc casinos.
Thank you Bernie!
feel the bern!
Cheers!
Pathetic.
-17 you go @berniesanders with your badself
You do realize Bernie Sanders was a sell-out shill on the HRC payroll the entire time, right?
No he is not a Scam, Because he promoted a coin doesn't make him a scam!!!!!!!!!!!
He promoted a fucking scam so he is a scammer.
You would never say that to my face. That’s why you hide yours.
Aweeee, good luck earning with those curation rewards. You're adorable.
Hey why don't you do the other idiots on steemit a favor and go flag all the stupid fucking contests that pay steem rewards and bounties to people to write shitty spam blog articles about the latest greatest shitcoins and crapicos coming out. And then flag the posts of the people who actually end up writing and shilling said shitcoins and crapicos.
And let's not kid ourselves here, anyone who thinks the "magic power of steemit oooo and the content we produce" is the reason for the rise in price is fucking delusional, oh wait that's most of the users here, anyone who has a ton of SP either dies fighting lost causes or becomes a circle-jerker.
I actually don't give a fuck that you run around flagging people and haejin runs around flagging people, who knows if haejin is even Korean or not but both of you are probably well aware of the fact that all price action for both steem and sbd is dictated by a single fucking exchange that allows massive pump and dump action which is fun for those in on the game, but not so fun for the other koreans and traders who are getting dumped on. And so you running around flagging or voting meaningless tripe is really an exercise in futility because you think the quality of content here matters when really it doesn't, investor perception of the quality doesn't fucking matter because that's not what they're looking at and they will never care because if there was actual value to be had in any of this website then it would have already BEEN a successful long-standing business model.
But guess what, blogging sites are fucking dead, video sites don't make money, and users aren't willing to pay real cash money just to upvote some random fuckers when they can organically vote on content with an equal weight as other users on the websites they already use. Their voices already matter more on the content-consumption sites that they already use and so why the fuck would they ever downgrade and pay out of pocket for an inferior service, especially when it's filled with crap like this?
Seriously, if you want to do something meaningful or care about steem or steemit then get your head out of your ass and smell the roses and something other than the inside of your own sphincter for a change. No one in the real world gives a shit that someone like haejin is trying to maximize his returns by voting on his own bullshit. No one cares that you upvote your own posts about how you just downvoted his posts. Everyone just pretends to give a shit because they want an excuse to get caught up in the flag war and get the sympathy votes that roll in afterwards on some shitty sob story post they'll make seconds later.
But the difference here? This isn't some random nobody, this is a guy who put in several digits of real money hoping to get a return, someone who actually had the initiative to grab a pair of people who have actual social media reach. His own reach can't be disputed, he has a shitload of followers. I won't lie, I didn't know who the fuck he was before I ran across some other post talking about what a fucker he was. Boohoo he sold people on bitconnect. Please tell me which of the icos that are currently being endorsed on this website by countless nimrods will actually do anything other than burn investors' money to a sorry ass crisp, because to me there's little to no difference other than the media exposure.
Everyone likes to suck off ned, dan and stan, but guess what, stan gets fat upvotes every time he cries about how "Arise was going to be so good wahhh they killed it before it had a chance." Are people riled up about Arise losing them money? Do you downvote his posts? No. Because you are not unique in that you and every single other person on this site is a giant fucking pussy when it comes down to it because we all know that if we downvote someone like stan we would probably get perpetually downvoted out of fucking existence because he would probably pull some strings to have all those app delegations pulled just so he could personally flag you so hard with a voting strength so large that your descendants thousands of years from now wouldn't know what making a visible post felt like.
If you'd ever bothered to watch his fucking videos before flagging you'd realize he was actually saying some real shit and asking his viewers to fucking think for themselves for a change, which is a welcome change of pace from all the non-stop steemit love wankery that pollutes this sorry excuse for a website. But you go on being you dude, I'm sure if we just flag each other hard enough all the normies will come rushing in after realizing they don't see enough soft-censorship on their own shitty social media websites of choice. Because that's what really makes for an appealing website, surely.
And maybe I am a bit biased because @trevonjb was literally the highest % of my incoming votes by a long shot until recently, but that just goes to show how stingy most all of the fuckers on this site are and how shitty everything is if he is one of the few people on this entire fucking platform that talks like a normal fucking human being who hasn't drank the fucking steemit koolaid yet. Even taking that into account I think you should still go watch some videos of the twins he just brought in, because if you think the quality of their content, their humor and what they bring to the table isn't at least 10x better than all the fucking garbage laying around here on steemit that passes for "content" then you have shit taste. Don't fucking lie, I know you have nothing better to do right now, go watch some vids and compare them to what you see on steemit right now.
Holy shit, you done dropped that mic so hard, that literally no one else can use that mic now, jerk.
Bahahaha, seriously though. I wish more people would speak their mind. I'm glad that you do. Thanks for that.
i kno right lol amen to that
Very well said sir...very well said.
Well said and much respected! I had to upvote and follow after that.
But enjoy your USDT and EURT denominated gains, that boost BTC got from 6k to over 7k toooooootally had nothing at all to do with the fresh EURT that got printed that day, and I'm sure it won't all come crashing down on top of our retarded heads very shortly.
tl;dr
This is the Bestest answer ever to all this bullshit against @trevonjb don't think I can contribute anything else for you @charitybot said it all!
bernie!
your the BEST!!!!
You are so clueless
And soon you'll be exactly where you should be (besides completely muted on here).
P.S. - As you can see, your steempower ain't shit, little one.
Like you right? Peace.
Later, little man.
Lmfao!!!
@berniesanders tryna be a moderator but just making useless drama up to get gains for your own cause and not for the better of the people you dont help out people as much as you think and have blind dummy accounts that you just upvote yourself with and fool people into thinking you are up too good?
you have multiple bots fool you the scammy fuck when we out here with one page doing us and haters like you just trash and pick fights with your bots to get steem post content you scum as niqqa #fuckberniesanders
You are not the only one who is abused. Look at what is going on with @haejin acoount.
This is not something especially about you, this is specific about this platform Steemit - it is growing. New blood is coming in and old farts do not like it. But it is going to change - they do not have enough power for all of you.
Steem on! 🙌
trevon is scam shit , that surely is NOT wanted here or in any other crypto community. Haejin on the other side, tries to give valuable content and i made a fortune thanks to him.
You should decide what Steemit platform is - monetized Facebook with the same censorship or free speech platform. You do not have to like him, but at least respect his rights to post scam or whatever it is.
If you want to punish him, then get off from keyboard and go to police.
This is absolute horse shit. The whole point of Steemit is to have some kind of liberty , no "social justice warriors not allowing free speech . This is not Facebook.
.
Careful, they have a full army of bots. They after me now because of my comment.
Thanks. I'm not trying to make anybody mad. Trying to do positive things and contribute. I suppose I'm still trying to understand how this all works.
I will keep it real with you.
The reason they are pissed is that you should of known better
You have a large following for someone in the crypto world.
You have been in this space long enough to be able to explain what bitcoin, ethereum, dash, monero are and at least be able to give a half ass but good enough explanation of each one...so to the people who have a brain its pretty clear that you knew that bitconnect was a scam...maybe not right away but at one point it clicked for you but the price going up blinded you from what your actions could be doing....
That's why a lot of people do not respect you, you KNEW bitconnect was a scam at one point or another but continued to collect referrals and gains from the price increase.
Now, personally, I do NOT feel bad for the people who lost their money...because "some guy on YouTube told me to" is not fucking investment advice so shame on them for investing because you made bitconnect videos...
Like you said, you need to build your reputation back up, might not be the smartest thing to admit what you were doing but maybe taking some time off of here would be the best thing... Hodgetwins and others just joined and it looks bad for them to be associated with you right now. Its for the best for steemit... You are not in a position to complain about the downvotes with your net worth...a real class act would be if you REFUSE to get upvoted and upvote the people who comment legit shit and actually spark some real conversations.
I am sure you have a lot to offer more than referral links man..your reputation is everything, you don't want to be opening a company in 10 years and have this bite you in the ass...
he fucking told them he is not financial advisor i joined under him lost my money and am not bmad this is fucking dumb as fuck .
so why did you downvote my other post?
It feels like a lot of people are treating those who got caught up in the bitconnect scam with kid gloves. Oh those poor innocent victims. Meanwhile it was obviously a scam. Oh well. Lets also keep in mind that Bitconnect dropped 80% only weeks before BTC dropped a similar amount. XRP and ADA dropped even more than that lol...
IMHO, Trevon should be able to wait a few months and pretty much put this in the past. I think the shit will die down a lot once the next bull market begins.
$10 says you're not done posting on Steemit
Have fun in prison scammer, you'll need those steemit powerdowns to pay your legal fees!
Bconnneeeecccttttt!
I was on the trevon bandwagon. I did bitconnect because it seemed likeit was working well for many people.I guess I'm just a sucker. I signed up for BitConnect using a Trevon referral link. He got a nice chunk of the sum of money I put into BCC. I'm fucked right now because of it. stupid me. Now I'm back to working a shit job in a restaurant to make ends meet. Fuck my life
Exact same here guy, exact same here
but the dream burns on a little lower down inside this time if you get me
WHEN WILL YOU REFUND YOUR VICTIMS????
TREVON BROWN......
Considering hes not the one that robbed them and doesn't have their money, I'm gonna guess never? Talk to bitconnect and the people that aided in getting it shut down if you want your money back.
exactly.
It is illegal to earn from Ponzi Schemes in the United States whether or not you are aware that it was a Ponzi does not matter. So yeah, he is required by law to surrender all profits. As cited by a past court decision on a similar matter:
Scholes v. Lehmann, 56 F.3d 750 (7th Cir. 1995), cert. denied, 116
S.Ct. 673 (1995):
"It is no answer that some or for that matter all of [defendant's]
profit may have come from "legitimate" trades made by the
corporations. They were not legitimate. The money used for the trades
came from investors gulled by fraudulent representations. [Defendant]
was one of those investors, and it may seem "only fair" that he should
be entitled to the profits on trades made with his money. That would
be true as between him and [the principal or his corporations]. It is
not true as between him and either the creditors or the other
investors in the corporations. He should not be permitted to benefit
from a fraud at their expense merely because he was not himself to
blame for the fraud. All he is being asked to do is to return the net
profits of his investment - the difference between what he put in and
what he had at the end."
(ibid. 757-758.)
The decision of a federal judge far outweighs what you fanboys say.
Don t let the door hit your ass on the way out. I mean are you really surprised that people are sick of you? You did nothing to redeem yourself. At least the others involved had the sense to just vanish. Your face is everywhere on youtube with people telling their stories about you. Your done in this space so this move on here is probably for the best. PS. it's not hard to not be a C*NT - Please at least learn something from all of this but I doubt you will.
