    NFT Fraud Alert: Controversial influencer "Beanie" accused of lots of scamming

    Here's an article explaining everything: https://nftevening.com/beanie-expose...g-allegations/


    Here is a long-ass Twitter thread exposing Beanie's real identity, and making various scamming allegations against him:

    https://twitter.com/NFTethics/status/1483051289022017538



    Here is Beanie's Twitter: https://twitter.com/beaniemaxi

    Here's a tweet showing that Beanie's "resignation" from a company over the scandal was likely BS, and his replacement at the company is probably him: https://twitter.com/mbhdoteth/status/1483553303304622080


    His real name is Charles Moscoe. Here's a picture of him:




    Beanie is also accused of pretending to be a female NFT influencer, which has led to a lot of people posting a bad picture of him and laughing about how ugly the "girl" ended up being.


    I haven't looked into this too deeply, but it looks pretty bad for him.


    The NFT space just blew up about a year ago, and the very nature of it has attracted a lot of scammers. Unlike poker, which has dealt with scammers for decades, the NFT space has a lot of people who aren't used to seeing/dealing with such things, and thus nobody quite knows how to handle someone like Beanie.

    It doesn't help that the crypto space prides itself upon pseudo anonymity, so doxxing is taken very seriously -- much moreso than in poker, where it's not considered a huge deal to connect an online poker player to their real name. As you'll see in that long thread I posted above, there's a lot of justification given at the beginning for why Beanie's identity was being outed.

    Only about 5% of NFT sales were from women.

    This is so true I think also, NFT participants seem to be naïve to the fact that. Scammers can be and are everywhere and this new now starting to burgeon NFT space is a real scammers wet dream, this early and actually how naïve some really are. To the real threat online scamming actually is and them discord DMs shut them off people distribute too much dirt via bad links on them Discord DMs anyway yeah for sure, these ones are young too probably Millennial's too and so with that you already know, they know Technology and computers inside out I'd think.

    so yeah, they are here too and trying to scam, and being so early for sure.

    I've been following him for the last 8 months. I think his background is offshore gambling.

    He's had a ton of influence in the NFT space (until now). I made a lot of money by getting in early in some of the projects he was shilling. Not exactly sure what the outright scams were but there are plenty of other influencers in this space and others (social media influencers) who do shady tactics to make big bags. My biggest turn off to Beanie was due to this Wolf Game project, which he said he was an investor in. He seems to have inside knowledge of mechanics of the game while also holding a lot of the NFTs. I sold those and never touched his projects again.

    Buying or investing in something that’s not really a thing. Who would have ever though scammers would get involved.

    And is it a scam when people throw away every common sense thought they have in the name of greed?

    Can a moron really be fucked?

    And that tweet was because of this thread, which exposes him as allegedly the founder of a lot of projects he shilled via "advice".

    Pretty convincing stuff, to be honest:

    Gfunker of Pixelvault taking heat on Twitter now, but fighting back.

    Beanie is being accused in that thread I posted above of being the hidden owner/founder of Pixelvault, among other projects, while pretending not to be.

    Gfunker is insisting that's not true... but it's hard to take his claims seriously. Some are speculating that Gfunker was the face of the project, while Beanie was the real founder/owner of the whole thing.

    Beanie has been tweeting again like nothing happened.

    Controversy has died down already.

    NFT community really is full of cucks.

    The problem is most nfts and small crypto is 99 percent based on hype and confidence. No one engaging in these things wants to admit any shadiness at all for fear of driving away investors. So everyone basically just keeps quiet and bails to allow for the next sucker to take a hit. The community can’t police itself because they are concerned with maximizing their own profits over any form of legitimacy.

    Hell even pfa behaved this way when it happened here. Posters seemed fine running off with their profits and had no want to expose the frauds behind it.

    On the other end, the rollings themselves prove to show how many of these fraudsters are fucking morons (although if folks are buying a Paul memecoin named, "milftoken" or "stickdix" then...
