Youtuber steals $ 500,000 from fans and buys a Tesla
Youtuber steals $ 500
Exploiting an apparent cryptocurrency fraud, a popular game streamer, known on Twitch and YouTube, allegedly defrauded his fans by creating a cryptocurrency and piloting its market trend at the table. According to what has been reported on the net, it would be a classic "pump and dump" mechanism, quite common on little-known coins or those lacking a solid whitepaper.According to a report by Kotaku, the well-known streamer Ice Poseidon would have succeeded to steal $ 500,000 from his fans by convincing them to invest in CxCoin, a cryptocurrency that the streamer founded for content creators to get donations. After reassuring his fans that it would be a safe and long-term investment, the streamer, who goes by the real name of Paul Denino, would have withdrawn all donations for $ 500,000.
Of these $ 500,000, just under half would go to the developers who helped him orchestrate the fraudulent activity. With the remaining amount, according to some investigations, he would have bought a new Tesla Model 3. Interviewed by another youtuber, Denino would have defended himself by blaming too emotional fans, insisting that he would keep most of the money for himself . In a more recent note, he claimed that he would give back $ 155,000, but Coffeezilla immediately denied it, confirming instead the return of "just" $ 47,000.
We advise and recommend that you carefully evaluate before making investments of this type, being a fan is more than legitimate, entrusting your savings to a "perfect stranger" can be really dangerous. Find out well before investing your capital in market instruments that you do not know in depth.
After realizing a story would be run on this: Ice told me he was going to 'return $ 155K', which is a small fraction of what he took.
However he once again has lied, because to date— only $ 40K has been returned to the liquidity pool. pic.twitter.com/E1rMecWU3U

At least 17 people die and 500 houses are damaged when truck carrying explosives crashes into motorcycle in Ghana
At least 17 people were killed and scores injured when a truck carrying explosives to a gold mine in western Ghana collided with a motorcycle, setting off an explosion that flattened a rural community, the government said on Friday.
As rescuers combed the site for survivors, videos posted on local media showed hundreds of buildings reduced to piles of wood, rubble and twisted metal, and dead bodies crumpled on the ground surrounded by debris.
A photo shared by a local politician showed a yawning crater at the epicentre of the blast, onlookers peering down from its rim.
One video posted on social media shows the blast in real time - as local residents rush to the scene of the car crash to see what happened, a loud and massive explosion suddenly appears in the distance and the people in the footage run for cover to a nearby field in Apiate.
Another video shows the massive devastation caused by the accident.
The drone footage of the aftermath of the explosion in Apiate-Bogoso, in the Western region of Ghana, hovers over the giant crater in the dirt road, as well as two large, demolished buildings. Rescue vehicles and onlookers mill around the scene.
