Sure enough, over the next few days, ads started popping up in London, NYC and Amsterdam. There were loads of lovely pictures he sent me but I can't find all of them. Also, lo and behold, the BitBoy video goes up a week later (7 June), which my friend said he paid $30k for. (5/9)

There was no indication that it was sponsored in the title, description, or thumbnail, nor was there *any* visible disclosure in the visuals. There was no upfront disclosure in the beginning of the video that he was being paid to shill DOCK. (6/9)

However, he does very briefly thank DOCK for sponsoring the video (at 10:05 out of 10:30, when most people have already clicked away from the video) - very sneakily protecting liability. IMO, this info should at least be in the description if not the start of the video. (7/9)
In the days that followed my friend's message in the group chat, the DOCK charts started looking like this... Pretty insane. I witnessed before my very eyes yet another example of how manipulated - and easy to manipulate - crypto can be. Today, DOCK is down 80% since. (8/9)

Other than the obvious message - don't trust these grifter influencers; they make money by selling you hopium - something else comes to mind. If some random guy did all of this with < $200k... To what extent could you manipulate a larger coin if you had billions? (9/9)

What a legend. Didn’t sit in telegram/discord asking “wen marketing” went out there and made it happen himself. Salute
Made me chuckle, but I'd have to disagree. It raises many complex ethical questions (I know it's the Wild West and all that, but this is disingenuous marketing and would be illegal in the stock market) and I would not condone or encourage it.

Dock is down just 80%. And look at scam $Hex down - 95% allmost like Luna & people calling #RichardHeartWin crypto prophet.
The value of $Hex doesn't matter the whole idea of it is to stake and earn Yield, can explain better than me but many people don't listen
