I have to disagree with you, just because you invested $500 without doing any research at all, doesn't mean is someone else's fault you lost it. You must ALWAYS do your homework before investing. I have made money and I have plenty of friends who have made money following Vincent Briatore's advice. You need to understand you can't buy during the hype and panic sell in red.
Do your homework next time and if you mess up, don't blame others.
It was his project. His ico. His website. Then 2 weeks after I bought the legit looking ico he took down the website and took off with everyone's money. Explain to me how this is my fault? He even took the developers money working with him.
Interesting.
Generally, I don't really believe these posts that point fingers at youtubers as they often pass the blame for their losses and don't do their research.
Not sure what to think in this case but for what it's worth he did have a phishing link for when he was posting about the Kin (kik) ICO.
Could have been a mistake but in addition to the other points you guys mentioned it sounds quite unlikely...
I think he's awesome honestly.
haha
