Youtuber and alleged thief publicly refuses to return investors' funds after $750k rug pull

"Yeah, I could give the money back. It is within my power, but I'm gonna look out for myself and not do that," said Ice Poseidon when confronted in a video interview.

On Wednesday, American Youtuber and "internet detective" Coffeezillaa published a recorded interview of himself and disgraced Youtuber Paul "Ice Poseidon" Denino. During the session, Denino allegedly confirmed that he made off with $750 thousand worth of his investors' money through rug pulling a crypto project dubbed "Cxcoin."

The ordeal started last July, when Denino created the Cxcoin for streamers and content creators on the Binance Smart Chain. Denino then allegedly promoted the coin to his community of followers, telling them that "don't worry, no rug [pull] here all the money is locked [in a smart contract] lol, my wallets are pinned." However, Denino abandoned the project just two weeks later, saying:

"It's pretty simple. Basically, the coin was inactive for a long time; the crypto market is crashing, and obviously, I'm not going to let $300 thousand [locked] in the liquidity pool go to waste, so I took what wasn't necessary in there."

In addition to the $300 thousand taken from the liquidity pool, another $200 thousand from the Cxcoin token presale and $250 thousand from a marketing wallet are reportedly missing, yielding a total of $750 thousand worth of investors' funds. Denino allegedly returned a small portion of the misappropriated funds to the smart contracts after public outrage. However, the majority of the capital has not been returned. Later on, when asked by Coffeezillaa as to how much money he made off the "scam," Denino cited 55% of the money going to himself, while 45% going to developers, leaving him with a cut of approximately $300 thousand.

Regarding the whereabouts of the funds, Denino allegedly purchased a Tesla only days after the capital went missing. With comments on his Twitter account suspended, many users took to Youtube and Discord to voice their dissatisfaction, with Discord user 3840x2160p#3258 writing:

"He lived off donators' money his whole grown life pretty much, then his twitch comeback gets denied, and so since his career is stagnant, he decides to scam his fans and investors."

Ice Poseidon originally rose to prominence as a Twitch streamer playing the fantasy MMORPG Runescape. In 2017, he was permanently banned from the platform after a viewer called in a bomb-threat hoax as he boarded an airplane. During at least one instance in his Twitch streams, Denino allegedly admitted to credit-card fraud while on air.

The Congolese Mountain of Gold: Surprise Discovery in Africa Shows Metal’s Scarcity Is Hard to Prove

A myriad of gold bugs like to compliment the yellow precious metal for its ostensible scarcity, as estimates say only 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold is produced annually. While new gold discoveries have seemingly slowed, investigative studies also show that in some areas, gold is being smuggled into the economy by the ton, and often never accounted for as far as per annum issuance estimates. Recently, reports show a whole mountain of gold was discovered in the Congo, as the Democratic Republic of the Congo is well known for being a region that sees tons of smuggled gold filtered into the global financial system unreported. Surprise Gold Deposits Continue to Crack the Precious Metal’s Scarcity Proposition It has always been said that the precious metal gold (Au) is scarce, and some reports even say that gold mining on earth will end by the year 2050 . Additionally, estimates also show that there’s roughly 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold that is accounted for and enters into the fin...
