Description

Those bots, that automatically deploy smart contracts to provide liquidity for flash loans, were, unfortunately, as fake, as the purported payments by Gemini. It was all a multi million dollar ponzi scheme. And the brother did not disclose to his victims that he had a history in financial crime! I am shocked. Shocked!
