During the stream, criticism of the company began to come, and the streamer allegedly edited away portions of the VOD that purportedly discussed the alleged “scam.” Later he changed his tone and apologized to his fans.
“Y’all don’t know what I do for y’all, bro,” Speed began. “Let me give out a quick little quote. I do so much stuff for y’all, bro. I made a mistake. You know, I’m not that smart, I’m gonna be honest. But as I go, I get smarter and smarter, bro. “I made a little mistake that I wish I never did, but I’m not a scammer, bro. (There’s not a) day in my life I would never scam you guys. Just remember that, bro… I care about you guys so freaking much. I love y’all so much, bro.”
The cryptocurrency has been referred to as an alleged rug-pull scam, which describes the inflation of a coin followed by the founders’ decision to either shut it down or completely withdraw from the project, taking the investors’ money with them. The players that win the coin will hope it increases in value so they can eventually win more money. However, if the currency fails or depreciates, its price will keep falling and investors will receive a negative return.
As the streamer recovers from a tense moment under scrutiny, Speed’s fan base appears to have so far accepted the apology.
