Yeah from the time that you're cooperating there's an element of a plea deal/agreement in place even if you're complicit. Guilty folks get away with shit all the time with maneuvers like that.
Either way, if not from a legal standpoint then definitely from a moral one, envy guilty as hell.
Look at all them promo videos, who's doing all the talking? Who's promoting the alleged scam?
The scam can't get this big in amount, without the envy cosign. The scam can't catch so many people into being duped, again without envy opening doors to go onto breakfast club, drink champs etc.
Also if my man is claiming he's a victim, at what point did he come to that realisation and at what point did he stop the promoting of the supposed ponzi scheme? He knew shit was dirty, but he kept in the game hoping another sucker take the L probably to recoup his own losses, that's foul.
And by the way for avoidance of doubt, Investing is not without risk, so just because someone lost money don't mean that they necessarily got fleeced. You may have bought at the wrong time, the due diligence wasn't thorough, market dynamics volatility e.g. Russia invaded Ukraine and cause a global crisis, covid etc.
But everything that these jokers were doing sound fraudulent.
