“Free Money Guy” Matthew Lesko Says Crypto Are Gamble, Scam
Matthew Lesko, the US author who made himself a name in the 90s writing books on how to get
free money
from the United States government, claimed that cryptocurrencies are a scam and Bitcoin is a
gamble,
talking to CNET in an interview on Feb. 20.
Lesko, who runs his own website, YouTube channel and various podcasts, all dedicated to to the topic of obtaining federal grants from the US government, says that
many people are interested
in Blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Lesko recommended these people to
stay away
from digital currencies unless they
have money to lose.
The
free money guy
elaborated:
You're playing with sharks right now. This is the beginning of something, [and] no one knows where it's going.
Lesko argues that cryptocurrencies are actually a
scam
, since they are not backed by anything and are not regulated, unlike the US dollar. He believes that
if there's no regulation, you get screwed.
In 2004 the New York State Consumer Protection Board criticized Lesko's commercials and books, stating that many of his readers did not get the "free money" he promised. According to Lesko himself, Blockchain experts today implement the same
exaggerations
he used in his 90s
free-money
infomercials.
