Twitter is in for yet another wave of memes and j0kes after the popular E-sports group FaZe Clan keeps at the margins players involved in a “pump and dump” crypto scam. Apparently, the e-sports group is at the receiving end of a lot of flak following the allegations against four of its players. Following the allegations, FaZe Clan has taken a drastic step in firing one of the players and suspending the other three until “further notice.” The e-sports group has kicked out Kay from the group while Jarvis, Nikan, and Teeqo got suspended. FaZe Clan also posted an official statement on Twitter clearly stating that it has no connection with the scandalous activities of the members.

The What, Why, and How

The recent cryptocurrency scam is a perfect example of the “pump and dump” scheme. It juggles the trust and dedication of the users towards the popular personalities who endorse these altcoins. And since the trust associated with the respective personality has a strong foundation, it works like a magical marketing technique. This gets more people, particularly their followers to invest in the altcoins owing to the dedication and trust they have in the persons endorsing the coins. Marketing works in different ways, however, in a domain as volatile as crypto, one erroneous move can result in massively adverse effects.

The altcoin involved in the recent scam goes by the name “save the kids.” There is a particular twist to this one, a charitable face that is supposed to encourage the people to invest in it. Apparently, charity borders the neighborhood of virtuous undertaking, and you will not suspect a scheme with a charitable front to drain you of your money. Only, it did.

Those familiar with the shaky grounds crypto has been in recently will be well aware of the plunge in prices, with no sign of the graphs coming up. One day you are on top of the world, and the next day in the blink of an eye, you have lost almost everything.

When things started going wrong, Kay had made an appeal to his followers through a string of tweets supposedly apologizing in order to soften the impending fall from grace. Sadly, and quite justifiably, it did not work in his favor. Apparently, when the “pump and dump” face a road bump, everybody involved gets hit, particularly the ones who took the steering wheel with extravagant enthusiasm. Here are the tweets from Kay following the allegations.

Seems like he will have a lot of time in his hands to learn everything starting from the basics.

It is anti-climatic that hard lessons are learned just before or right after a massive fall.

While the step taken by FaZe house is supposed to be a testimony for how they put their fans before everything else, the criticism and scrutiny directed at the e-sports group are still strong. While many are of the opinion that it is unfair to judge them because of the misdoings of just four members, others aren’t ready to cut them any slack. It can only be hoped that the truth prevails and not distorted versions of it.
