NexFundAI, as per information on the website, was marketed as redefining the “intersection between finance and artificial intelligence” and that its aim was to “create a cryptocurrency token that not only serves as a secure store of value but also acts as a catalyst for positive change in the world of AI.”
Even though it’s not obvious it was a government run “scam”/operation this website screams scam.
Every cryptocurrency website scream scam
I’m glad it’s just a bunch of rich assholes who went down, and not* people only doing this to survive. They get what they fucking deserve.
Haha, I’ll give you 100 CocoCoins if you can define what makes a cryptocurrency “fake” rather than real.
This headline should probably say “FBI create a cryptocurrency to expose…”
That said there are only a few cryptocurrencies I would call worthy of note or respect.

The difference between a theist and an atheist is believing in one fewer God.
Polytheists are theists too
Holy Trinity is basically tritheism.
DOGE and…?
You make the point that this cannot happen but surely some really have the intention to make an e-currency that has long term, legal use?
I make the point that what cannot happen?
I’m sorry, I just didn’t quite understand what you mean.
Seems I missed reading the last line where you said you would respect some cryptocurrencies. I misunderstood.
All good.
And yeah for the record, I do think Bitcoin is pretty brilliant and that Etherium has some real unique utility. I think there are definitely some others that are genuine attempts to do something useful, but few that have really achieved much so far.
Lol at all the people deleting their comments or getting downvoted heavily. You are the target audience. This is either a warning to get your shit straight or nuke your hard drive. Dealers choice… Take a hint boys.

Dude…hook, line, and sinker. FBI knows their target audience lol
Someone got paid by Uncle Sam to make this and I’m extremely envious.
Buzzword bingo
I had “AI native” on my bingo card and they missed that one. Maybe it’ll come up on the next turn.
They just peeled off some of the low-hanging fruit. That’s all.
Yup, they’ve been entrapping victims for decades!
Nothing about this is entrapment…this cryptocurrency created by the FBI isn’t any different from others. People are breaking the law in the same way in the crypto market every day, these people just got caught.
Delicious boot oh I love licking it
Lmao that’s your take away
Reminds me of the time that the FBI created ‘secure’ phones for illicit criminal activities
There’s a great Search Engine episode on it https://player.fm/series/search-engine-3326982/whats-the-best-phone-to-do-crimes-on
COX: Drug traffickers love gizmos. They love gadgets. And if they have something like, ooh, the app is hidden behind a calculator, they think that’s amazing, and they want to buy it.
TIL drug traffickers have the mindset of a teenage boy looking for ways to hide porn.
For every teenage boy you catch looking at porn, there are a hundred you missed.
They’re like regular people who don’t know our entire tech stack is fully sodomized by glowies. Basically every electronic object in your house is permasnitching your business to the state should and their vampite friends
Yeah I just assume everything that I own is completely hacked already.
Now if only they could do the same with the stock market. But the conspiracy theorist in me believes that all this manipulation is being done hand in hand with certain arms of the government in order to maintain the government’s appearance of solvency and to control inflation in the face of what appears to be nearly unlimited spending. Just keep moving around fake money using a million different utterly opaque methods.
They can’t put all of congress in jail!
They can if enough of us are willing to help
Don’t steal the government does not tolerate competition
That’s the SEC’s domain, and I’m sure the FBI helps with catching insider trading and whatnot as well.
nearly unlimited spending
The great thing about currency is that it can change hands an infinite number of times and function the same as it did on day one.
Just keep moving around fake money
Laughing at my credit card company
How can I owe you dollars when they’re all worthless?! Idiots!
People get convicted of fraud charges all the time. Archegos being probably the biggest non-Trump non-Crypto related cases of late.
It’s just that if it’s a fraud conviction that’s not related to either Trump or crypto (and maybe soon Trump will be convicted of crypto related fraud!) it’s not big news.
Now do the real securities market!
That’s above their pay grade
And upset their bosses?

Why does the government keep trying to regular fake Internet money? The whole point of it was that it was a free for all. Who the fuck cares if crypto bros get fucked, if you want real securities you go to a real bank and open a real investment account.
Because then the fraudsters end up with all the money, buy an e-news paper, or get a game show, and end up running for president. It’s not an excellent idea to let fraud run rampant on your society.
Scammers beg the goverment for a “free for all” so their central organization can defraud people.
P2P crypto users achieve a free for all by avoiding central organizations.
We are not the same.
Yeeeaaaah, because nothing says “I’m doing my job, and certainly not getting yelled at by any other agencies” like letting a free for all happen on your watch. You know the FBI is supposed to be PREVENTING fraud, right?
🤦
You know the FBI is supposed to be PREVENTING fraud, right?
And they’ve been doing a helluva job.
Did I not get the memo ? When did acab get a pass for the glowies that told MLK to KYS ?
Apparently you did not get the memo, because you believe in something that didn’t exist in the first place.
BRB, gotta go find my “World’s Best” for absolute morons, but I can’t find that specific one. Just “Dipshit”, “Fucking Idiot”, and “Fucking Idiot Dipshit”.
I was referring to YOUR own relation of what you call “acab” (which is an acronym, not a group of people), to some larger group of people (which is not an acronym, and IS I assume a group of people).
You’re conflating some bullshit that doesn’t and never did exist because you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about, but you heard from some dumb YouTuber or right-wing blog who also doesn’t know what the fuck they are talking about.
What part of “All Cops” and “Are Bad” do you think does not apply to the FBI ?
Why? Because of this of course:

It’s called a honeypot. They even ran CP servers in the past (after taking them over from the actual admins, in order to unmask the users).
Agreed honeypots are maybe a good thing.
Do a cop bribe honeypot next ! Ah, only fake crimes eh?
I really don’t think CSAM is a fake crime, but we can’t all be libertarians.
What does this have to do with libertarianism?
I’m a libertarian, and I think honeypots are a fantastic idea! It makes enforcement of the law compatible with individual privacy, since the only data the agency would get is from people who willingly offer it. I may disagree with you on the definition of CSAM (e.g. pictures of actual kids vs AI-gen and human drawn images), but I absolutely think honeypots are the right way for police to enforce the law.
You’ll have to open your eyes, how can you even believe this overused malarkey. This is just a blunt political assassination instrument. We invented it to kill the church, and it was funny. Fuck the church. But you’ve lost the plot if you think 1% of 1% of these supposed kids even exist. It’s largely a fabrication to eliminate inconvenient persons and send them to the slave pits. It’s a well oiled, if overused kompromat machine to keep the elites in check.
Can we please just nuke Russia ASAP so I can get the MAD ending I was promised to this circus while growing up.
Agent 1: We just nabbed a gang of child abusers!
Agent 2: We found out your MAGA uncle is a really bad “investor”.
I feel like Agent 1 is far more worthwhile.
Do you think the FBI only has one investigation open at a time?
They’re both worthwhile. Agent 2 is more like “We found out your uncle was pumping a security by making fraudulent claims in order to dump it later and screw them all over.”
