Bitcoin LOL of the Day! This Buy Pulled in $1 Million Selling Chuck E. Cheese Tokens Saying They Were Bitcoins.

I Love Entrepreneurs and This Guy Made My Day!

You know your hustle skills are on point when you can convince the Sheeple to buy Chuck E. Cheese tokens and they believe them to be Bitcoins! High Five Marlon, you put the Hustle in Hustler! I am laughing my ass off. This is almost as good as the guy who sold pet rocks.

Marlon Jensen, 36, was arrested a Sunday morning when NYPD stormed his home. NYPD received calls from the fraud victims that someone had sold them “Bitcoins”, only to find out there actually was no tangible bitcoin currency available. NYPD found $1.1 Million of cash inside Marlons home. According to police, Marlon had scratched off most of the Chuck E. Cheese engravements on the coins, and would write “B” on each coin with permanent marker.

As many should know already, Bitcoin is a crypto currency and payment system that has recently received unprecedented popularity and value, with each bitcoin currently worth $18,950 USD. Although Bitcoin isn’t actually a tangible form of currency, that hasn’t stopped some people from successfully selling “bitcoins” to people using irrelevant gold coins, in this case Chuck E. Cheese Tokens.

“People are retarded haha”, said NYPD Officer Michael West, “My 8 year old son would know those weren’t bitcoins and lord knows he’s not the brightest”.

Marlon is currently being charged with fraud and can face up to 5 years in federal prison.

Never Invest In Something Which You Don't Understand.

This is hilarious!!! I can’t believe people were gullible enough to give up over 1 million dollars 💸 for a false bitcoin. That’s just ridiculous. Did no one think to do their due diligence before giving up their money?! He must have had a strong mouth piece to talk all those people into purchasing something that’s obviously fake.
