99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So I think the title of this article

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
pretty much sums up what we're
gonna be talking about today.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Pastor accused of three
million dollar crypto scam

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
says he may have misheard God.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Oh...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No, man, what makes you say that?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What makes you think that
God wouldn't want you to

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
do a rug pull on your congregation?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's crazy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This story's been in the news
the past couple weeks,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm only a little bit
familiar with the details,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so I had my

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(rock music) elite team of
content supervisors,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
uh, which is just one guy,
his name is Robert,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
go through, and
(music stops) find me

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
all of the necessary information

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so I can fully understand this story

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and relay it to you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Everybody say, "thank you Robert."
(sparkling sound)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(wholesome music)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now everybody say, "thank you Danny."
(sparkling sound)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(wholesome music continues)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now everybody say, "love you Danny?"
(distorted sparkling sound)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(music stops)
And now let's get into it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
An online pastor was
charged with civil fraud

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for selling a cryptocurrency
that regulators described as

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"practically worthless."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
His explanation: God told him to do it,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
although it's possible
(laughing) he misheard.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's interesting that he's
only saying that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he MIGHT'VE misheard

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
now that he's being called out for it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He got caught, and now he's like,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Well yeah, I might've misheard him."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Something tells me in the
initial stages of this scheme

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he wasn't going around
telling people, like,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Now I might've misheard God,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but I'm pretty sure he wants
you to buy this cryptocurrency.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God's been really into
the blockchain lately

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He thinks it's the future."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I like that the regulators described
it as

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"practically worthless."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's not completely worthless.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But it's-- it's pretty much worthless.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(chill jaunty music)
Eh, it's kinda fun to buy, I guess.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You know, it's fun to get
involved in a little project,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
setting up your crypto
wallet and everything,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but for all intents and purposes

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this will make you broke.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is a horrible decision to buy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
LITTLE fun though.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Colorado securities commissioner
filed a legal complaint

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
against... Eligio.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Eliggy-o.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(mispronouncing, which he will do
for most of the video) Regaldo.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Eligio Regaldo.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Who goes by Eli--

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Oh thank God.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and his wife, Kaitlyn Regaldo, last week.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The couple raised nearly
3.2 million dollars

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
by targeting Denver's Christian
community with the cryptocurrency,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
marked as INDXcoin, the complaint said.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Sorry, you're not even gonna
give it a Christian name?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
IND-- Index?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Indix?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(shocked sound) In-dicks?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You put these crypto coins in dicks?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Shoulda called it God Coin or something.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Something creative.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Tithe Coin, maybe? I don't know.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Investigators accused
the couple of violating

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Colorado's anti-fraud licensing
and registration laws.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They alleged the cryptocurrency
was promoted as

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
low risk, high profit investment,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
while it was actually illiquid
and practically useless.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Well, hold on now. Maybe he didn't say
who it was high profit for.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It WAS high profit, it was just for him.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Wait, high profit...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Are you sure he didn't mean

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
high PROPHET?
(angelic choir)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Jake, on the screen, can
you spell "prophet" with a PH?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like the Biblical type of prophet?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And then you can also keep
me explaining this part of the joke in.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That way if anyone's listening
to this and not watching

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they can still get the joke that I made.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Thank you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(angelic choir)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Look, I said it was a
low-risk investment,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I am a high prophet!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was high when I heard this from God,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that's why I might've misheard him."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Cryptocurrency is usually able
to be converted into cash

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or other currencies through a digital
platform or trading exchange.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Lord said:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(distorted deep voice)
"I want you to build this,"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Regaldo said.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We took God at his word and sold
a cryptocurrency with no clear exit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
From this quote, like,
if this is an exact quote

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm having trouble seeing how
you might've misheard him.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He seems completely clear.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He either said, "I want you
to build this cryptocurrency"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or "love thy neighbor,"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I can't remember exactly which one it was.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was one of those two, though.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Again, I'm SUPER high.
(The Next Episode plays in background)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then he says, "We took God at his word

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and sold a cryptocurrency
with no clear exit."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now it sounds like
he's calling God a liar.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Look, I'll say it guys, it's our fault.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Our fault we trusted God."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We allege that Mr. Regalado took advantage

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of the trust and faith of
his own Christian community

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and that he peddled outlandish
promises of wealth to them

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when he sold them essentially
worthless cryptocurrencies.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I don't think I've ever been to church

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and my pastor started preaching about

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(club music, ka-ching sound)
outlandish promises of wealth.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I feel like if your pastor
starts saying stuff like that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
there's definitely a problem.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That being said,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Uh, the pastor totally abused
his privilege and his trust

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that his congregation had in him.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's insane.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is someone that's supposed to be
like a spiritual guide to these people,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you know what, to be fair

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they might be praying a lot more
after this has happened to them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But I don't...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Still don't really think it was right.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The couple sold the digital asset
to more than three hundred investors

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
between June 2022 and April 2023.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Three hundred investors...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And made three million dollars?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Wait, what? How does that add up?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How much were these
people investing, dude?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Three million divided by three hundred.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So on average, members
of his congregation spent

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
ten thousand dollars on this?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They got three hundred
people to spend on average

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
ten thousand dollars
on this cryptocurrency.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Dude, that's insane!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Oh my god, that's messed up.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I hate to say it, man.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think he misheard God.
(depressed sound effect)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Either I misheard God,
and every one of you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
who prayed and came in, you as well.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No, wait. Hold on.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
THEY didn't mishear anything.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They heard YOU.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He's saying,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Either I misheard God
and so did all of you--

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I mean, we all did, right?"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They're all like,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"No, YOU said it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We heard YOU.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
YOU were supposed to
be telling us what he said."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Or two, God is still not
done with this project.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Uh, I unfortunately am.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have already sold all my cryptocurrency

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and yours is now worthless,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but, y'know, you guys might still
have something going on,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I don't really know.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm not involved anymore.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Okay, now it looks like
we've got some kind of

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
video apology maybe?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think this is the pastor here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So this update is to really just
take some things head on,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm not reading from a script

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I didn't prepare
any notes like I normally do.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yeah, you should 100% be
reading from a script, dude.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You really fucked up.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You should've written something
down. Do not freestyle this, man.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Also, you know.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Beautiful house behind
him. Beautiful view.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I-- actually, I can't
tell if this is real.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Is he green screened into
this or is this his real house?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It kinda looks like it
might be green screen

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I'm wondering, like,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is his house even nicer than this?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like this is what he green
screened himself into

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to make it seem like he's
not living a lavish lifestyle.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What does his actual house look like?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's just Heaven.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(angelic choir)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Kaitlyn and I are being
charged in a civil charge

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for basically selling millions of
dollars worth of cryptocurrency

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that is deemed
worthless by the state.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think it's probably also
being deemed worthless by

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like, the value of the cryptocurrency.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm assuming that this guy, like,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
made all of his followers
buy it, and then he sold it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so that it's now completely worthless.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So I would have to guess
that it's not just the

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
regulator's opinion.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There's like an objective
value to cryptocurrency.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Any cryptocurrency, you can
look at what the value is.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's not like it's subjective.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's not like they're telling you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
your hairstyle is worthless or something.
(sad piano music)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That would be messed up.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There is no exit for people who bought.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So everyone that's watching this
who has put money into this,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
who wanted to take money out,
you've been unable to do that.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How did HE exit then?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I don't know how
cryptocurrency enough works

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to give a detailed analysis of this,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but how did HE make money from it, then?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If no one else can sell it?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I guess he figured out some way.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The charges are that Kaitlyn and
I pocketed 1.3 million dollars

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I just wanna come out and
say that those charges

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
are true.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Danny laughs)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So there's been 1.3 million dollars
that's been taken out of, I think

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it was a total of 3.4 million.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So you exited!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So what is all this about "no exit?"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There's no exit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You just said you sold it!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You exited!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Tell everyone else how to do that!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I hope that, um, in this video

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm not coming across as like
bashing Christianity or anything.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think that his congregation was
totally swindled by this guy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This could've happened
in any religion, probably.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This guy is just a con artist.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So how this whole thing started

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is the Lord told us,
in '21, to walk away

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from our marketing company,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and then he took us
into this cryptocurrency.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Well, that cryptocurrency
turned out to be a scam.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's so crazy to, uh, describe
something that YOU made

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"turning out to be a scam."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like, "We had no idea."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He's describing the
cryptocurrency as having, like,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a mind of its own.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"It double crossed us,
this-- this dirty coin."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's like, YOU made it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's like painting a picture of the moon

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and then being like, uh,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"The picture turned out to be a moon!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We didn't realize it until we were done.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was looking at the
moon, I was painting it,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and all of a sudden the picture
turned out to be a moon!"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So the people who bought
this, who are already basically

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
4Xed leveraged on this,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and so the Lord says, "Give that to 'em,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but also give them a 10X."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I'm like, "Well, where is
this liquidity gonna come from?"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the Lord says, "Trust me."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Sorry, was he in like a business
conference room with God?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Usually when you hear, like, the kind of

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"wealth televangelist"
pastors talk about it,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
even they're not having, like,
these in-depth conversations.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They're just getting,
like, signs and stuff.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This guy was writing code with God.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Which makes the claim
that you "misheard" even wilder,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
cause it's like,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you had this multi-day
long development process,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you were getting instructions
the entire time,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and now you're like,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Well, eh, I guess I misheard all of them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They were all wrong.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He was just talking about, he was just...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
just said I should go on vacation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Dammit."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So we have the records to prove all this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And then as we're sowing all this money--

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Why is he saying he
sowed all of the money?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We're sowing all this money--

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Is that, like, to avoid
using the word "stole?"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Yeah, you know, your actions
have consequences, man.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You reap what you sow.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You walk into a jewelry store,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you hold up a gun,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You sort of sow chaos in the store

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and then you reap the diamonds."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And so we sowed a
hundred thousand of that.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And then from that point forward,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
things really started
escalating and just continued.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Basically all I'm getting from this video

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is he's, like, completely
admitting to everything

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and his excuse, of course,
is that God made him do it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or told him to do it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But at the end of the
day, he is just, like,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Guys, I've been accused of a crime,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so let me just defend
myself by saying, uh,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(evil battle music)
here's how I committed the crime,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I did do it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(music stops)
There was a little old lady

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
walking down the street,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so I did walk up to her,
and in my defense,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(music starts)
I did push her down and take her bag.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(music stops)
Now, that seems ugly,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but let me be clear

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(music starts)
that I did also shoot her in the knees.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Okay, so now we've
got a LinkedIn profile

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for this company, INDXcoin.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The best of crypto with just one coin!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
INDXcoin empowers you to participate
in the best of crypto technology

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
being: losing a ton of money,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
including Bitcoin, altcoins, NFTs,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the metaverse, DeFi, and ETFs,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
without becoming an
overnight crypto expert.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Okay, but to be clear,
we're NOT participating

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in any of these, right?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's just INDXcoin?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(fun dance music)
You get to participate in Bitcoin,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
NFTs, the metaverse,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
without having to
participate in all of that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(booing sounds)
Bitcoin, NFTs, the metaverse.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Damn, there are no jobs
available at INDXcoin right now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That sucks.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was gonna apply, I hear
the salary's really good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And then here are the two scammers listed

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as the two only employees.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The wife, her bio is "Jesus,
family, and business!"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the husband's is,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Jesus, PEOPLE, and business."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Dude, if I was his wife, I'd be
so pissed off about that bio.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(ominous battle music)
"Who's people? Am I people?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You just love everybody the same, huh?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Everybody's people?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Where am I on the list?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Where am I?"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(music stops)
And they've also got a website.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
indxcoin.com.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's crazy that all of this is still...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
up and running.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like, he's being investigated for it,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he actively admitted that
it turned out to be a scam,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
against his own will.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But the website's still up.
Can I still buy INDXcoin?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(triumphant fanfare)
Oh, buy now!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Oh, okay. You can't buy it anymore.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Proofed by Hacken?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What does that mean?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Is this who made it? Hacken?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You cannot buy a cryptocurrency

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(laughs) made by a
company called Hacken.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Yeah, we're called Hacken cause we're
gonna hack into your computer

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and steal all your information.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You should've known, it was in the name.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We named our company

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We're Gonna Hack You.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A coin that will transform the
world and you along with it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Join a community. Access courses.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Enjoy content. And create wealth.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I gotta say, there's no, like,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
religious messaging in this
website anywhere

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that I can find.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let me see if I can
control F God real quick.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(error sound)
No.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No God or Jesus anywhere
on this website.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You could at least credit the
guy that came up with it, dude.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Dang.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Okay, this video's called,
"INDXcoin Update"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from June of 2023.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So this seems to be while
the scam was going on.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He's giving a little update, let's see.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Good morning INDXcoin,
good evening INDXcoin

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
wherever you guys are calling in from--

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Where are YOU calling in from?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Just out of curiosity.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You're in front of a green screen again.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Does he have like, an actual church,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or is it like an online-only church

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and he's always in
front of a green screen?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Cause I know those do exist, too.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Show us your house, man.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Maybe this is before
he stole all that money.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He really did have to use
the green screen back then

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
cause his house was small.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now he has to use it to
make his house look small.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Is he using the green
screen cause he's, like,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
already on the run from something else?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Some previous con?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Don't mind the green
screen behind me, guys,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I actually am in the
Witness Protection Program.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A lot people wanna find me

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and a lot of people wanna hurt me.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Heh heh.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have torn multiple families apart."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Wherever you guys are calling in from,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
good morning, good afternoon,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and uh, goodnight.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He just goes to sleep.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Good morning, good afternoon,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and, uh,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
fuck it! Goodnight."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Brahm's Lullabye plays, snoring sound)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
For us, we've been look at this,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we've been building out
INDXcoin, getting ready,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
uh, we got our license which
everyone thought was impossible--

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They got their cryptocurrency
selling license, which nobody

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
thought they could do.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Why do I not believe that?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Feel like that that's super easy to do.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Countless influencers have started
cryptocurrencies, dude,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I don't think it's that hard.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We're waiting for liquidity,
we're waiting for people

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to basically come in and buy,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so that people can kinda
come out and uh, sell.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Uh, everyone's gonna get
rich, that's what he's saying.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And right now he's saying,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"All these people have bought in,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we're just waiting for
MORE people to buy,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that way you guys can all sell.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(carefree music)
And me too. We're all gonna sell

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
once more people buy."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So it's kinda sounding like

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he might not have even
anticipated this being a rug pull

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that only benefitted him.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He might've been TRYING

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to make a Ponzi scheme.
(police sirens)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You know, where the
first people make profit

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because you give them
the next people's money,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and it just keeps going like that,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and of course eventually
you're gonna run out of people.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And money.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But for a while it works.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(laughing) But it sounds like--

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it-- the coin was so fucked up

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that it-- he couldn't even do like,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
one round of Ponzi.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He just, like, took everybody's money
and then nobody could get out

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and he was like, "Shit,
I gotta get outta here."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So maybe he did intend
for SOME people to make money

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
off of this, I don't know.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is John 6 verse 1 through 5,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it says, "After these things, Jesus
went away to the other side of the sea

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of Galilee or Tiberius--"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yeah, I'm gonna be honest, this
has nothing to do with cryptocurrency.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I hate to say it, I don't think the
people who wrote this part of the Bible

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
even knew what INDXcoin was, dawg.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Okay, so it looks like the
latest update to this story

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
was January 31st.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Pastor charged with stealing millions
seen in Zambia after missing hearing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Seen in Zambia??

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What is he, Bigfoot?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Oh, there he goes, oh, he's gone!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Dammit, we still can't catch him!"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So he flew to Zambia so
he didn't have to go to court?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Denver pastor Eli Regalado,
facing civil fraud charges

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for allegedly selling millions in
a bogus cryptocurrency scheme,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
was seen in Zambia teaching
about God and finance--

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Probably mostly finance.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
--at the Gifted Faith Ministry in
the company's capital after

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
missing a court hearing on Monday.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Regalado's appearance at the
church's Glory Shift Conference

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on multiple days this week
comes after he missed

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a Monday court hearing, where a
preliminary injunction and asset freeze

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
were granted after he was
accused of exploiting

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
his religious influence
to defraud investors.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Oh yeah, here he is.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Wearing the gray hoodie, Pastor Eli visits

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a church conference in Zambia after
missing a court hearing in Colorado.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Man, he got outta there fast.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Everyone in this picture, you
gotta run away from this guy, dude.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(fast-paced action music)
He's gonna steal all of your money.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Alright, well, it seems like for now
that's where that story has ended.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I hope you guys enjoyed this video,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I'll see you guys next time.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Uh-buh-bye.
