Wenzhi Fei, aka "Wesley" and "Dr. Hash" from Hustler Casino Live, accused of crypto scamming

[Dan Druff]

An anonymous poster shared a blog to Reddit, accusing Wenzhi Fei (Wesley from Hustler Casino Live) of crypto scamming. Wesley is known on the stream as a rich guy who made a lot of money in crypto.

The anonymous blogger also says they'll reveal their identity to any "journalists or media", and will verify it, but nobody has taken him up on the offer yet to my knowledge. Here is the blog:

The Cliffs notes of the blog:

- Victim is the author, claims to be 28 years old and from the UK

- Says he and his friend invested a total of $250k (together) with Wesley, for a shitcoin called SupremeX

- Provides many screen shots of text messages supposedly with Wesley, as well as a receipt for a wire transfer in 2022. All of this looks fairly authentic, though none of this is verifiable.

- Claims Wesley promised SupremeX would yield huge returns. After it didn't, and seemed to be struggling in mid-2022, they expressed concern to Wesley

- At this point, Wesley allegedly told them not to sell, and that a huge investor from China was about to buy into the coin, thus pumping up its value

- Investor never showed up, and Wesley allegedly made excuses to stall further

- Shortly after that, SupremeX crashed, and this appears to be a "rug pull" where the creators of the coin sell everything off and run off with the profits

- Victim claims Wesley had thugs break into his house and steal his electronic devices after he initiated a fraud claim on the $250k wire



Here is Wesley's response:

(Full text of the above tweet

An anonymous guy talking some shit and making some fake chat log, fake transaction history and ridiculous story tried to hurt me. Not many people would be bored enough to do this. I think I knew who is deliberately smearing me. This anonymous narrator doesn't even exist; I can confront him face-to-face by real name.

The first responses from Wesley are not particularly convincing.

However, the screen shots he posted are interesting. Basically he's trying to say that someone -- perhaps the same guy who posted the accusatory blog -- is claiming they were hired to get him deported, and want $35k in order NOT to make the deportation happen.

While weird, this doesn't really mean much. It could be the victim trying to get back some of his money in a roundabout way. It could be a separate person trying to exploit the situation for $35k. Or Wesley could be making all of this up. Or this entire thing could be a bullshit attack on Wesley in order to squeeze $$ out of him.

But Wesley really needs to provide some clarity here.

I tweeted to him:

Can you please clarify?

Did you ever have anything to do with the supremeX coin?

Did those text conversations depicted ever take place?

Did anyone wire you $250k in 2022 to buy into any coin you were associated with?

We'll see if he answers me.

I wouldnt hold your breath Druff. Too many of these shitcoin pump and dump scams online with random "Projects" and coins/tokens attached to them. The have no real value other then the big grownups like BTC, ETH, ETC, LTC which have been around long enough along with the stable coins like USDC and TUSD. the rest are all speculative junk bond type stuff. I set up a mining op several yrs back on a supposed SHA-256 coin that was being hyped and was doing decent mining till the rugpull right around the time alot of us were going to be able to convert to BTC and such. Wasnt out anything then the clock cycles on my one computer but it was annoying.

I think the question we should all be asking is who is not a scammer in these high stakes games at this point.

Confirmed Wesley was involved with SupremeX.
