34
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: What's the biggest scam in investing.

35
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: SPACs? For one, A lot of those are dead. Y'all

36
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: want me to go here, please? I think people who

37
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: put funds together that don't have credibility or backing from

38
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: higher institutions that provide safety to our community. I'll leave

39
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: it that. Y'all can cut it out if y'all want to.

40
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: But it's too much of it going. You can cut

41
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: it out. It's be a clippable moment. But I think

42
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: that's the reading the tea leaves. I don't want no

43
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: drama no, but I'm being honest, like even on the

44
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: spack side, even on the gofundmes to all that, Like,

45
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: I think it's it's been too much capital raised and

46
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: an easy environment to sell returns that are not likely

47
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: from even major firms.

48
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: So so who you were referring to, Jay Morrison? That

49
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: who you're referring to.

50
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: When I said it two years in going Vegas, my

51
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: mic got cut. So no, no, no, no, that was

52
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: the thing. It was technology from that other company.

53
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: Well, I think I think it's a teachable moment. Look,

54
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: you know, it's one of these things right where I

55
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: mean it's teachable moment. And I think that he I believe.

56
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 2: I believe he was in over his head and did

57
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: things and acted off of ego from I don't know

58
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: him personally, I met him three times in my life,

59
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: but it seemed that he had tremendous ego and a

60
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: lot of times when ego leads, when you lead with ego,

61
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: you fall into trouble, right, And then you you tried

62
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: to make up for your your mistakes with more ego

63
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: and more pride, and that just leads you into more mistakes, right.

64
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: And I think that you have to be extremely careful

65
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: when taking people's money. I never took anybody's money as

66
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 2: a financial avisit. I was the first thing I always

67
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 2: told people was that you're not writing a check to

68
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: shot me. Nobody ever wrote a check to Rashad blow

69
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:29,679
Speaker 2: Fund or Rashad Balau Incorporated. I was an intermediate person

70
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: that would invest your money for you, infidelity, in black Rock,

71
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: in different mutual funds, life insurance, yeah, Frank Temple and

72
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: stuff like that, exactly. I was never responsible for actually

73
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: personally pushing the button and moving money around for people

74
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: and going into that bank accounts and different things of

75
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: that nature. So that's the first thing I tell people

76
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 2: is that when you're investing money, I'm not really a

77
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: big fan of investing money with a person. Yeah, right,

78
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: if you buy real estate, you should you should be

79
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: able to buy real estate direct. Now, not to say

80
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,799
Speaker 2: that there are some crowdfunding platforms that have been successful, yes,

81
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: not to say that every single crowdfunding platform is a scam,

82
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: but that's one of the that's one of the things

83
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 2: I think that you can learn from this lesson because

84
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: whatever happened, it's already happened. But it's like, how can

85
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: we avoid these type of situations from happening again. Right,

86
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 2: So as a consumer, I think that that's something that

87
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 2: you should be aware of, is not to invest money

88
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: directly as opposed to, you know, having it done independently

89
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 2: or something that you're actually in control over. And I

90
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: mean I gave a Ted talk actually a few years ago,

91
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 2: and I said that you know, anybody that miss misappropriates

92
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: or abuses the trust of the peace people, they said,

93
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 2: it's gonna be held accountable. Not my job. I'm not

94
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: the police. I don't. I don't do the work of

95
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: the police because I'm not on pension. Right, you're not Chicago, Yeah,

96
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm not. I don't talk to the police.

97
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 2: A lot of a lot of people do, but I don't.

98
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 2: It's just personally the way that I was raised. I

99
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 2: don't talk to police and I don't do police work.

100
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 2: So don't ask me about Diddy because I don't know anything.

101
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: Tell you, right, And it's not my job to expose

102
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: the breaking scam artists of the decade.

103
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: But ultimately we got an obligation to protect people from

104
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: the bullshit though.

105
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: They're going to get exposed themselves, right, And it's always happened,

106
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: It's never That's why I said, I said this six

107
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 2: months ago, that there's no benefit of scamming somebody. Yeah,

108
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: and a lot of some people didn't fully understand. They're like, well,

109
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 2: the benefit is that you make money. What I mean

110
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 2: by that is that over the course of the time,

111
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 2: you're going to lose. You're going to lose more money

112
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 2: than you made, You're going to be sued, your reputation

113
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: is going to be disminished, and you might even actually

114
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: go to jail. So there's no benefit of it. Journey

115
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: made off is the biggest He's running the biggest scam

116
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: that we've seen, right, and he ended up dying in jail.

117
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 2: There's no benefit in it, That's what That's what I'm

118
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 2: trying to say. So, yeah, I mean, I'm not the

119
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: judge and jury here and I'm not a detective. But

120
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: if you will be held accountable by the people that

121
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: you and see your situation, I don't need to hold

122
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: you accountable. The people are going to hold you accountable.

123
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: And that's stronger than my voice. Ten thousand voices are

124
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: stronger than just my one voice. Right, So there's a

125
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: learnable experience for this whole thing, and it's it's unfortunate,

126
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: and you know it's it's something that unfortunately is gonna

127
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: happen again. It's human nature. It always happens. It always

128
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: happens over the course of time. But in the future,

129
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: I would advise anyone that is considering ego pride getting

130
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: a quick buck, I would highly advise you against it.

131
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: You can do whatever you want, you can disregard what

132
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: I'm saying, but if I were you, I would just

133
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: I would advise you not to go that route because

134
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 2: ultimately I don't think that it's beneficial. I don't think

135
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 2: that's worth it, and I think that you will. You

136
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: will pay a tremendous price for your transgressions.

137
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: Yeah. Also, they're no shortcuts. Like Secondly, if anyone approaches

138
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: you with anything, have them make you money for free.

139
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: That's always putting it. If I made you money, please

140
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: put y in chat. Most of y'all who made money

141
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: for me, you made it for free. So I have

142
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: no issues with our brother. Wish him well. There's a

143
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: lot of great things you can learn from him on

144
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: the marketing side, but you've got to deliver that actual return.

145
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: So y'all be careful. But also as a community, we

146
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: have to stop wanting the easy sensational thing.

147
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 3: Yah.

148
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: I don't like it when I say fifty pages, eighty pages,

149
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: study the market twelve hours a day, y'a'll be like

150
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: fuck that okay, cool shortcuts, short results. Man. So prayers

151
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: to everybody. I want no drama, no smoke. If you

152
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: see this, please don't think that I'm on that I

153
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: don't have time for it. I'm cool. But go master craft.

154
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:03,920
