The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

He had $6.2 million at MINIMUM

According to this great reporting by Protos, he holds over $580,000,000 in just Bitcoin, with tens (and sometimes hundreds) of millions in other assets, like TRON (the coin you can see promoted on the side of his microphone in the article's photo) which is a clone of the Ethereum blockchain he made by simply copying the code, artificially lowering fees, then publishing it as if he created it.

Not only is he a rich douchebag, but he's also a plagiarist.
