If it comes out he didn’t do any due diligence and just pushed people to donate $1,000s of dollars…there should be some culpability for him. But I’m sure he will have a nice excuse and get a free pass because he co-owns HCL. He always does. Guy is a total gasbag.
so many scammers gravitate towards vertucci, and he amplifies these scammers tremendously.
this is not the same complaint as them allowing scammers / criminals on the stream.
vertucci is a unique mix of idiot, conman, and narcissist. he seems to attract people that share some or all of those traits
i listened to him address it on a twitter space yesterday, and his message was 'this stuff happens, what can you do, move on'. this message was echo'd by vertuccis side kick / yes man josh maciello (sp?).
this crew that vertucci has assembled around him are so used to sweeping scams and shady deals under the rug - they seem to be doing it reflexively here.
btw, anyone heard from RIP?
