My favorite part about that is gas town is supposedly so productive that this guys sleep patterns are affected by how much work he’s doing, but he took the time to physically go to a bank to get a 5 figure payout.
It makes it difficult to believe that gas town is actually producing anything of value.
I also lol at his bitching about how the bank didn’t let him do the transactions instantly as he describes himself how much of a scam this seems and how the worst thing is his bank account being drained, like banks don’t have a self interest in protecting their clientele from such scams.

He is either lying there... or if not he is saying he receives large sums of money from strangers for business deals he doesn't understand so he has no idea if it is criminal.
It could be criminal proceeds but unlikely to be prosecuted by Trump administration.
It is equivalent of getting 1% of takings from an unlicensed casino.
When he decided to monetize the eyeballs on the project instead of anything related to the engineering. Which, of course, Steve isn't smart enough to understand (in his own words) and he recommends you not buy but he still makes a tidy profit from it.
Its a memecoin now... that has a software project attached to it. Anything related to engineering died the day he failed to disavow the crypto BS and instead starting shrilling it.
What happened to engineers not calling out BS as BS.
