Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, folks, So we are back on the way
concept presented by the Ring magazine, and today I'm making
a video I didn't know that i'd ever make, and
I'm a little bit late to the party on this,
but apparently it's been going on for years now, and
I felt like it's now time with sufficient evidence to
drop this bombshell of a video. I mean, everybody, by
the way, kind of already knows this. But Habib Nurmaghametov, Yes,
one of the greatest fighters who have ever lived. Yes,
(00:21):
the man that has single handedly ushered in a new
era of fighter from the Dagistani caucus. Whether it's him
or Islam Makatchev or Umar Numaga Metov or a lot
of the guys that haven't gotten the world titles yet,
that region of Mma has become synonymous with world championships,
with winning, with domination. But something else that Habib has
(00:43):
become synonymous with, and it kind of baffles me that
this is even the case. Is a bit of at
least promoting crypto scams, NFT shills, and just very sketchy
things in general in terms of monetary value for what
it actually does, and his involvement in it. It's very weird.
It's been happening for years and years now, and I
(01:04):
don't know why I haven't seen more videos talking about it. Now,
before we even get into it, let me just preface
this by saying there are a lot of people in
MMA that are just bad people, one of which is
Connor McGregor, the others John Jones and others. And by
the way, I've made videos about those individuals on this channel.
So before please or you run to my comments section
and say, why wouldn't you talk about Mick Chicken like this?
(01:25):
Why wouldn't you say this about so and so, just
listen to what's being said and respond to it versus
bringing up to what aboutism is because Habib is your
favorite fighter. I like Habib too, but who gotta cole
out weird shit? When you see weird shit, it just
is what it is. I don't hate Muslims, I don't
hate Dagus Danny's, but you have to be honest when
talking about these things, no matter how much you like
a certain fighter. So the question is, is Abib nermaka
(01:48):
met Off the biggest scammer in the combat sports game,
or at least the biggest promoter of scams in the
combat sports game. Maybe maybe not. Let's take a look
to break down. Let's go all right, So the reason
I'm doing this video today is this morning it all
kicked back off between Habib and guess who his biggest rival,
(02:08):
Connor MacGregor May apparently in twenty twenty five, were reigniting
the rivalries of the golden era. And by the way,
Connor McGregor, just a couple of days ago, just came
back on social media talking about he had taken a
drug called Ebo Gain I think, and somehow had changed
himself completely. That was what Connor has been saying to
(02:29):
the rest of us for the last couple of days.
And then, just as he had said he had changed
and he was a new man and that he was
back to his old self before all the addictions and
drugs and everything else, he got back on the Habib
hate train this morning when he tweeted out there's just
no way good guy Kobeb used his late father's name
as well as Dagistan's culture to scam his fans and
(02:51):
fire sell a bunch of digital NFT online and then
delete all the content after they were sold, leaving his
fans robbed of their money. There's just no way good
guy do this. Obviously, Connor's being a little sarcastic there,
but he is talking about a post that's since been deleted,
and I don't know that I'll be able to find
it here. I don't know if this is the same tweet,
because this is a tweet from six hours ago, but
(03:15):
it's talking about what Connor brought up in the beginning.
This is a beep saying the auction has ended for
all papacas. Papacas have been sold. Appreciate everyone who participated
in it and become the holder of this great and
exclusive digital gift, gift with space value that you can
share with your friends and loved one. Thank you for
trust only on telegram. And here's the video.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
In Dagistan, for this head means something. It's called the papaca.
It's show where you come from. It's about respect, discipline,
that things my father teach me.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Everyman in my village grew up.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Seeing this head. It's reminds us that strengths come from tradition,
not just power.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
My father wore it before me.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
One day my students will follow what I love. Yes, yes,
now anyone can gift. It pass on a gift to
a friend, brother, a mentor a way to show respect.
Whatever you are on Telegram, this is my story, this
is my culture. This is my digital gift on Telegram.
(04:27):
Digital collectibles on the tongue blockchain passive.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Okay, so there you go here a you've talked about
digital collectibles on the blockchain is hilarious. Habib did not
necessarily scam with this idea. It is more so that
the idea has no worth and that this papaka is
essentially a sticker or an emoji that you can use
to react to things on Telegram. But he keeps calling
(04:53):
it a gift when in reality it is something that
he sold at auction. So in this specific case, this
one's a orderline scam. He's not providing you with anything
of value. He's not even providing you with what an
NFT normally would be, which is like a digital pixelized
one of one piece of art that you could keep
in hold. This is more so something you have to
use on a texting device and that you can send
(05:16):
to people as a gift, I guess or as a
reaction to things. I'm not exactly sure, but like to
show your respect. You're buying an emoji essentially, or you're
buying a skin or a personalized way of interacting online.
But you're buying it at auction, which is a little
scummy because why wouldn't you make it a flat rate
instead of having your own fans getting to a bidding
(05:39):
war with each other over something that has no value.
He keeps saying it it's a gift with value. The
only value, just like most NFTs are how much people
can run the number up and say it has value
because it gets more expensive, And this one's really no different. Again,
no one's being forced to buy any of this stuff,
but I think people were genuinely confused on what they
were buying based on the ad. Now again he goes
(06:01):
through it at the end and talks about what you
can do with it, But some people thought legitimately they
were buying like an NFT of the hat, which is
not the case. And also again it's like, what do
you do once you even have this thing? And how
many people knew that they were getting this specific thing
versus an NFT or versus some other digital blockchain. Like
there's a lot of words that can confuse people, especially
(06:23):
if they're not familiar with crypto and the other part
of this which you know, not to bring family into it,
but Habib did using his father, who is unfortunately passed
on to talk about this product and selling it, and
he keeps saying it's a gift to you, but he
keeps making people buy it, and apparently that part of
it feels a little scummy as far as like, hey,
this is about respect. This is from my dad, and
(06:45):
the people that know Habib and know his dad take
that very seriously. And the weight behind using that for
a promo is that people are going to say, wow,
you know this is something that means a lot to Habib,
I should buy it. You know, this is our guy,
I should buy it. After so many people bought it,
they sold four point four million dollars worth of the
hats in one day. Now again, this hat, it says
(07:07):
current round one of two ninety as. I mean, they're
just gonna keep running this thing over and over. Could
you call this one a scam? Yeah, because there is
no real value in it, and they told you there's
value in it. They keep saying it's a real time
value digital asset, when in reality, it's a sticker. It's
an emoji for you to react to things on Telegram.
You don't use telegram, that I guess it doesn't matter,
but most of the people that are his fans are
(07:29):
using Telegram and this is targeted specifically for those people.
So borderline at the best, but very scummy and disingenuous.
I would say for Habib to be promoting something like
this that doesn't have any value, that doesn't offer anything
new to people, that really is just a little worthless
digital thing on their phone. It's like buying a Fortnite skin.
(07:49):
It doesn't help you in the game, It doesn't do
anything to increase the value of the game. It just
is there and you paid money for it. And again
the fact that they auctioned it versus having it out
a flat rate, making the fans of Abibe bit against
each other to jack up the price, so that every
piece that was sold wasn't the same value. One was higher,
one was lower depending on how many people bid on it.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I don't like that. I think it's just the most
recent in a long list and the most controversial right
now because Connor McGregor jumped in on it, but Habib
or someone running Habib's account jumped in to respond to
what Connor McGregor said, and he said, you absolute liar.
You will always try to darken my name after you
got destroyed that night, but you'll never achieve that. Yes,
good guys don't do that. They don't create exclusive digital gifts. Again,
(08:35):
why does he keep calling it a gift with real
time value? It has no real time value that you
can share with your friends and family. The gifts in
the shape of papaca hat that symbolized traditions and culture
of Dagistan people, traditions and culture that slowly walking over
this world. Whether you like that or not. What does
that mean? What does that mean? That sounded that the
(08:55):
part of the end is kind of weird. Now again,
there's nothing wrong with you know, people enjoy the culture
of Dagastan, but traditions and culture that are slowly walking
over this world, whether you like it or not. I again,
I don't know what that was inferring, but not everyone
is going to want to take part in traditional Dagastandi culture.
So if that's like a we're coming for you or
(09:18):
we're gonna take over, it's a little weird but understandable.
Respect blah blah, blah. Now again, do I know that
Habib is the one writing this? Could this be another
Ali banger? Who knows, as we know that his manager,
Ali does tweet off his account from time to time,
and this could be another company as well. But yeah,
again that's just a nothing explanation from Habib. There is
(09:40):
no real time value. It isn't a gift because people
had to auction for it and they made millions on it.
Usually when you give a gift, you give it, you
don't make people buy it for millions of dollars. So
don't know what that was. But then kind of responded,
apologize this instant for using your late father's name to
sell these quote gifts that cost your fans so much
of the money. Also, to sell something means it's not
(10:02):
a gift, you low iq trogolodite. This is the direct
opposite of what a gift means. Da da dumbass. Again,
Connor was supposed to have taken this spiritual healing over
the last couple of months and come back. He also
posted something else that's now been deleted as well, so
both guys are taking turns with the deleted tweets. Today,
(10:22):
Connor also posted a video of himself at the dentist
with his mouth wide open, saying he had a friend
who was an inbred who looked like that. I assume
he was referring to Abib only because the beef was
going on, not because I think Habib is inbred. It's
Connor mcgrigger the right guy to be talking about crypto
scams and trying to hold Habib's feet to the fire
(10:43):
with it. No, absolutely not. Why because Connor himself has
partaken in the old crypto scams using his name and likeness.
I don't know when this was, but this was I
think Connor's pin tweet For a while. I changed the
fight game, I changed the whiskey game, I changed the
stout game. Now it's time to change the crypto game.
This is just the beginning. Get real token completely and
(11:05):
utterly fucking tanks out of the gate and Connor deletes
the tweet. So this is not something that's new, and
this is not something that Connor hasn't done before. He
clearly has, and it absolutely fucking flopped. So right message,
wrong messenger. But I want to make sure that we
talk about that because there was more back and forth.
(11:25):
As Oabib said My count is fifty six former drug
addicts at my rehabilitation centers in Dagastan that I treated.
I'd have to think he meant to say that I created.
But Obib was not personally treating drug addicts in Dagastan.
I know that he does have a drug attic recovery facility,
and I think he actually funds it, but he wasn't
personally in there, like let's get you clean, that was
(11:46):
it happening. He might have been doing some motivational speaking,
but there were like doctors I'm sure in there. But
then he says, come to Dagistan, Connor, they'll take care
of you here. Mexico didn't help you as far as
I can see, Connor said, And who will I be
meeting there? Because it won't be you. You can't scam
me with your lies, You tax dodging scammer on the run.
And then he puts the UAE flag there. Very interesting,
(12:07):
your poor family. I pray, I pray for your constant lies.
I pray, I pray, I pray while you lie, you
should just be honest because Allah knows all. So yeah,
this sounds just like Connor and just like Aviv in
twenty eighteen. Right message, maybe wrong messenger. But going into
this further, it's not just about what's gone on today
(12:27):
with the latest installment of Habib using crypto markets to
enrich himself at the demise or at least at the
decision making of his fan base. This is a deeper
story than just that, and I'm not sure that people
even know it, but I want to talk about it.
This has been going on for years, and I have wondered, like,
as much as we criticize all of these fighters, John
(12:49):
Jones for beating up his wife and constantly getting into
trouble and potentially having more assault chargers than even that
Connor McGregor with the sexual assault allegation and all the
trouble he's gotten. In let's face it, MMA is a
bad guy sports, so we aren't necessarily beholden to everybody
being a good guy. I'm still gonna watch John Jones fight,
still gonna watch Connor fight. If Abib came back, I'd
still watch a bee because at the end of the day,
(13:11):
I try to separate who they are personally from what
they are as fighters. But while doing that, you can
still comment on who they are personally while being a
fan of them in the cage as a fighter. And
I say that because I want to talk about this
thing with Abib, where he has looked at as the
beacon for respect, humility, good guy, like Connor said, the
good guy Habib a man with honor, with morals that
(13:33):
can't be compromised, and a lot of those based on
his religion, yes, but just in general who he is.
And I don't understand why he doesn't get more criticism
for the things he does that are not shining lights
of what he says, he operates on, what the morality
code he lives by or tells others to live by
while doing stuff like this. It's all started back in
(13:53):
I think, even before this tweet. But twenty twenty three,
Habib was a part of a project called GMT, and
he had been since twenty twenty one. At the time,
he said, we have been developing a joint product for
a long time and it finally completed.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
It.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
You will soon be able to buy the NFT, which
will become a pass to my private club and will
mine bitcoin for you coffee Zilla. By the way, underneath this,
if you need money this bad, why not step back
into the ring instead of scamming your fans. And it's
clear that this was a pump and dump crypto scheme
because when you do try to click on the link
to any of Habib's actual websites or anything to do
(14:26):
with Habib himself, it takes you to this website, which
again doesn't have any of Habib's tokens on the front page,
doesn't show you anything about what Habib is saying in
that tweet. It's almost like it's a completely different website now.
And when you do look at what happened when this
came out, this is the same promo that Habib did
in the last tweet. I was referring to, do you
(14:47):
want to enter a close community and get the chance
to meet with me? Get the chance to meet with me.
The new crypto product I'm creating in collaboration with the
GMT project will be your pass. I'll tell you all
the details soon and when the coin gets launched, it
absolutely here's launch point twenty twenty three. Second time, it
gets absolutely rugged. I mean, just fucking rob And there's
(15:09):
no criticism for this. And again I'm not saying that
Habib is in the back going. Yes, my turn to
rug pull these guys. He's probably paid a fat stack
of money to promote something that deep players are the
bad faith actors behind this actual token. We're going to
scam people anyway with it. But he's promoting promoting the
crypto scams, even with ignorance at that point makes you liable,
(15:31):
and that does deserve criticism. And if this was an
isolated incident, I'd be like, you know what, Habib probably
just got some bad information, didn't realize what he was
promoting and how badly it could affect his own fans,
because I would almost guarantee his own fans were the
people that were caught getting rug pulled after rug pulled,
after rug pulled after rug pulled, over and over on
that same coin. That's only one coin or token or whatever.
(15:53):
And for more information on the one we just took
a look at, there's this article that's out by calf
Kicker which talked about the GMT token from Go Mining,
which again previously Habib had endorsed and promised investors the
ability to mine bitcoin through NFT ownerships backed by constantly
growing computing power. Now, remember is what it says will
mine bitcoin for you? Turns out no, it didn't. Investors
(16:16):
who purchased GMT tokens NFTs discovered they owned digital images
rather than actual computing equipment, despite promotional materials suggesting tangible
mining hardware. The project ultimately collapsed, leaving participants with substantial losses.
Another one here in twenty twenty one, Habib's involvement with
Habib Never Commit Off NFT gold cards simply disappointed investors,
(16:37):
with the project reportedly delivering minimal or no value to
those who purchase tokens, and also apparently on the blockchain.
You can go back and look on open scene and
look at the blockchain for even this NFT, and as
you can see, it starts out very high, massive dump rebound,
massive dump rebound, massive dump, and small rebound all the
(16:58):
way down. It's a continuous thing that we see with
Abib and his promotional activities, including the promoting of something
called game Plan, where Habib was featured as one of
the fighters. I think on game Plan, let me actually
look here, Yeah, ready to explore the game Plan metaverse
with me? Let's go. As an honest fan of Abeb
since twenty thirteen, I must sadly admit that he has
indeed fallen off after I trusted him and lost one
(17:19):
thousand dollars. Man, I know how you lost your thousand.
So this guy is a building game plan as well,
and he is continually backing Habib, and again it doesn't
really stop there. That has been going on, and again
you're seeing a pattern of Habib partaking in things that
are clearly scams, which makes me go, Okay, you may
not have known it the first time, and you used
(17:41):
your name and likeness to promote this company that was
waiting to rugpole your fans, but when you do it
two or three or four times at a certain point,
are you not just a scammer as well? Are you
not just willfully scamming your audience by promoting a coin
that is going to be rugbool. I'm not saying Habib
knows it's going to be rugbull, but it happens every time.
(18:01):
And this is separate from the hats and the telegram
messages that we're talking about today. But this is a
pattern of Abib just you know, throwing things out there
for his fans and quite frankly taking advantage of them
by having his name attached to these things that are
clearly at least scummy or shady and at most flat
out scams. And if you're thinking way, that was years ago.
(18:21):
He's learned his lesson. He doesn't do that anymore. How
about from a month ago, here's a bee promoting something
called multibank Io, an exclusive multi billion dollar global venture,
a bunch of words powered by MBG token. Together, we're
building the first regulated sporting real world assets ecosystem by
tokenizing thirty plus world class ABIB gyms. This is my
(18:45):
next round. So again, a lot of words to say,
nothing but here let him explain it.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Sam Aleko, Everyone, I'm very happy to announce my exclusive
partnership with Multibank Group, well the leading finance institution, together
with Chatman Miss.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
First off, I don't think I've ever heard of this
world leading finance institution, but we'll continue Nashib.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
We will launching something truly unique connection with sport, finance
and technology throw by MBG Tooken. Our plan is opening
around the world thirty habib Jim. It will be promoted
by a multibank ecosystem and it will create a lot
of opportunity for athletes and the fans around the world.
(19:31):
It will be beautiful project, all right.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
So he's gonna use this token to promote the opening
of his thirty new gyms around the world, and I
assume the profits from said token are gonna go toward
opening those But then again, they want you guys to
get involved, they want people to sign up, get involved,
and let's get going. And when you buy said multibank
io token, when you take your hard earned money and
(19:55):
put it into something Habibi is promoting a crypto currency
or at least a platfor on the blockchain. This is
what happens. Absolute fucking rug pull again, and a redistribution,
and a rug pull, and another one and another one,
until there's nothing fucking less. And it's like this is
a month ago. This isn't a couple of years ago.
This isn't when Habib needed money. Right, Potentially, you could argue, okay,
(20:19):
before Habib had the big time fights, he needed money
to help sustain him and everything else, although there is
the rumors of who was backing Habib during the time
of his rise in the gym in general over in Dagastan.
And I'm not trying to say that Habib is a
terrible guy, but you make terrible decisions like this, and
I don't really know who else to point the finger at.
Now again, you can also point the finger at the
(20:40):
dumbasses that are continually buying this slot he puts out
and acting like it's going to change their lives in
any way, just for them to get absolutely scammed. So
it's like you have to bear some responsibility as someone
that is looked up to and has carried themselves as
the moral fighter, as the guy that makes the right decisions,
as the guy that's the good guy. Right, it's not
(21:00):
the conorrac Gregor is doing all the things that are
haram and doing all the things that are you know,
sending him to hell in a handbasket, or even John Jones,
who obviously does a lot of those same things Abib
is supposed to and again has kind of been the
selling point of Habib is the man of dignity, respect
on or, won't take advantage of his people, won't do
things to promote gambling, won't put those on his platforms.
(21:23):
And then in contrast, you see stuff like this which
I don't really have an answer for. And again I'm
kind of bouncing back and forth on the timeline. But
here is Habib promoting something called ice Open Network, Ice
blockchain pioneering the future of blockchain technology, bringing the power
of Web three to everyone. Their mission of putting control, privacy,
and ownership back in the hands of the people deeply
(21:45):
aligns with my values of respect and dependence and empowerment.
With growing a community of twenty million users, Ice Open
Network is making a real impact and I'm excited to
help them inspire even more people to join this movement.
Now again, that all sounds nice, but in reality, this
is what has left of the people that are still
partaking in the Ice network, and this is their reddit
for the public members of what I can find with
(22:08):
Ice network. This is from three months ago, So it
seems like I've lost all hope and Ice network chain
is definitely ice cold. No users, bit frost as a joke,
please change my mind. I want to believe I'll be
able to afford a sausage one day. I don't know
what that is the Ice team shadow band my two
posts haha, Yeah, the Ice team tricked Ice holders into bridging.
They're Ice tokens from BMB smart chain onto io in
(22:33):
liquid chain and unilaterally disabled reverse bridging. What's really been
happening to this token is it even worth buying at
this point. Now, this is from the Reddit community called
crypto scams. This person says from three months ago, Hello guys, warning,
ICE Open network is a scammy token. The ICE team
lurd holders into bridging their tokens to a liquid chain
and then disabled reverse bridging. There has to be again,
(22:55):
just some responsibility and at least a light being shined
on this. For habid Ner maka bet Off, this is
out side of the character that he portrays to the
rest of theme community. And that's why I'm surprised I
don't see more people talking about this, to say the least,
And I don't know really how else to bring this up,
other than just to again have it out there, like,
it's not just the papacas, It's not just the crypto scams.
(23:16):
It's not just that Habib was allegedly potentially trying to
evade his taxes of three point four million in Russia,
which is why maybe you could see him doing stuff
like this, but it's also stuff that has nothing to
do with crypto currency. Something like this. Today marks a
defining moment in our history. As we democratize real estate investing.
We're launching wha he'd private real estate in the United States.
Now this is something that Habib has been partnered with
(23:39):
across the world. Why he'd real estate? Who I guess
their whole thing is, we don't really believe in UH
interest rates or anything like that. This company has also
been charged by the SEC. We're misleading its clients, So
I gotta talk about this. It's just another example. Washington,
d C. February ten, twenty twenty two. The Securities in
Exchange Commission today charged New York based robo advisor While
(24:01):
He'd Invest LLC with making misleading statements and breaching its
fiduciary duty and for compliance failures related to its Sharia
advisory business. According to the SEC's order, from September twenty
eighteen through July twenty nineteen, While He'd Invest advertised the
existence of its own property funds when no such its
funds existed, and also promise investors that they would periodically
(24:23):
rebalance their advisory accounts, but they did not do so.
The SEC order further finds that when While He'd Investment
ultimately launched a property ETF in July twenty nineteen, it
used its client's advisory assets to seed the eft without
providing disclosure to clients of any conflicts of interest. The
order also finds that what He'd Invest marketed itself is
(24:44):
providing advisory services compliant with Islamic or Sharia law, including
marketing the importance of its income purification process on its website.
Despite these representations, the order finds that What He'd Invest
did not adopt and implement written policies and procedures addressing
how it would assure Sharia compliance and an ongoing basis.
So again, you just see this stuff over and over
(25:06):
where he's linked to some very odd and peculiar, somewhat
scummy businesses and where he sometimes is promoting them, sometimes NonStop.
And I feel like that's a problem that we should
talk about, at least if we're going to address everything
that's wrong with the Connor mcgregors of the world and
the John Jones of the world, who, yes, have done
terrible things, and you could say, if you're going to
(25:27):
play moral police, they've done worse things at least allegedly
on Connor McGregor's case with alleged rape and John Jones
domestic assault and you know, hitting the pregnant lady with
his car and whatever was supposed to have happened a
couple of months ago, or John maybe crashed a car
and left the scene. But at the same time, should
we not keep the same energy for someone like Habib,
who was supposed to be the beacons, who supposed to
(25:47):
be the most honorable of all of us. I think
you have to be able to keep the same energy
with everyone. Has nothing to do with his religion, has
nothing to do with where he's from. It has to
do with his words, and again his culture meaning one thing,
and his actions in some cases doing another. I could
be wrong. There could be other guys out there that
are promoting so many more NFT scams or crypto scams,
(26:09):
or fraudulent companies, or partnering with people that are running
fraudulent companies or any of this stuff. Habi might have
the track record. He might have the most consistent scammy,
scummy type of company promotions over the years, four or
five of them at least, and some still going on.
I mean, I just saw another one where he talked
about promoting this company Arena two and that one seems
(26:31):
to be a whole lot of bullshit as well. Again,
this is on the uh Kathiker article, it says. The
announcement arrives amid fresh controversy surrounding Ermergametov's endorsement of Arena two,
another blockchain based sports platform that allows fans to influence
live matches through token voting. His social media posts promoting
the platform six as Side football tournament immediately drew backlash
(26:53):
from following backlash from followers. Quote guys, let's play in
this tournament together, mca Mettov posted and promoting Arena two,
which launched its social media presence in October twenty twenty
four and maintains fewer than three thousand followers. Critics quickly
responded with accusations of hypocrisy, one user commenting haram a
reference to activities prohibited under Islamic law. It's like, right
(27:14):
in front of your face. The guy's doing it on purpose.
Now again, I would have understood if it was one
or two times he had done this, But it's on purpose,
it's right in front of you. That to me is
scummy and it's bullshit to act like he is the
arbiter of morality and you know, respect and doing things
the right way. If this is the type of stuff
you're promoted is this newest one with the papakas the
(27:35):
biggest scam he's been involved in. Probably not. It made
him a lot of money and people bought it. And again,
if you are buying these type of things purely because
you're a fan of a beib and they offer you
no real value, then you kind of get what you're
paying for in that case. But I can't really make
sense of the over and over and over crypto scams
and how in any way that reflects the man Abe
purports to be and the values that he hold. That's
(27:57):
just keeping it one hundred across the board. Nothing to
do with anything in his per personal life, nothing to
do with anything in his religion. Just actions and words.
I feel like they matter when you talk about these things.
And if you're going to call out people like Connor McGregor,
which we all have multiple videos on this channel of
me doing that, we're gonna call out John Jones, which
we all have multiple videos on this channel of me
doing that, I think you have to keep the same
(28:17):
energy or a beam they're making meat off, and his
constant promoting of crypto scams in other shady business dealings,
there's not many good guys in combat sports. It's a
sport full of bad guys, and that's fine, but let's
not act like in this rivalry of good versus evil
that anyone is squeaky clean in this game. Those are
my thoughts. I think Abib is probably one of the
biggest at least promoters of crypto scams in combat sports.
(28:41):
Floyd Maywether's probably up there as well. Connor's definitely up there.
There's others that I'm probably not even thinking of. But
you guys, let me know what you think. Have I
got this right? Or am I just completely off a
bee business and everyone else is running his accounts? He
has nothing to do with any of this, and he's
just caught in the crossfire. I have to think he's
not as aloof as you guys say he is. When
you're like, oh, that's all Ali doing it. Oh that's
all his advisor's doing it. No, I think Abib knows
(29:03):
a lot more of what's going on in his own
world and his own business than you guys give him
credit for. He's not ignorant. He might be willfully ignorant,
but he's not ignorant. That's just what I think, you guys,
let me know in the comments what happens next in
this ongoing beef with Connor and Abibe. Are we talking
White House fight? No, these guys are just gonna argue
for the rest of their lives. But do I think
Abib is a crypto scammer? Yeah? I do. Do I
(29:25):
think he should stop doing it? Yeah? I do. But
if you guys are dumb enough to buy it, you're
gonna keep getting this result anyway. Does he do another one?
I don't have those answers, but I guess we'll find
out
All right, folks, So we are back on the way
concept presented by the Ring magazine, and today I'm making
a video I didn't know that i'd ever make, and
I'm a little bit late to the party on this,
but apparently it's been going on for years now, and
I felt like it's now time with sufficient evidence to
drop this bombshell of a video. I mean, everybody, by
the way, kind of already knows this. But Habib Nurmaghametov, Yes,
one of the greatest fighters who have ever lived. Yes,
(00:21):
the man that has single handedly ushered in a new
era of fighter from the Dagistani caucus. Whether it's him
or Islam Makatchev or Umar Numaga Metov or a lot
of the guys that haven't gotten the world titles yet,
that region of Mma has become synonymous with world championships,
with winning, with domination. But something else that Habib has
(00:43):
become synonymous with, and it kind of baffles me that
this is even the case. Is a bit of at
least promoting crypto scams, NFT shills, and just very sketchy
things in general in terms of monetary value for what
it actually does, and his involvement in it. It's very weird.
It's been happening for years and years now, and I
(01:04):
don't know why I haven't seen more videos talking about it. Now,
before we even get into it, let me just preface
this by saying there are a lot of people in
MMA that are just bad people, one of which is
Connor McGregor, the others John Jones and others. And by
the way, I've made videos about those individuals on this channel.
So before please or you run to my comments section
and say, why wouldn't you talk about Mick Chicken like this?
(01:25):
Why wouldn't you say this about so and so, just
listen to what's being said and respond to it versus
bringing up to what aboutism is because Habib is your
favorite fighter. I like Habib too, but who gotta cole
out weird shit? When you see weird shit, it just
is what it is. I don't hate Muslims, I don't
hate Dagus Danny's, but you have to be honest when
talking about these things, no matter how much you like
a certain fighter. So the question is, is Abib nermaka
(01:48):
met Off the biggest scammer in the combat sports game,
or at least the biggest promoter of scams in the
combat sports game. Maybe maybe not. Let's take a look
to break down. Let's go all right, So the reason
I'm doing this video today is this morning it all
kicked back off between Habib and guess who his biggest rival,
(02:08):
Connor MacGregor May apparently in twenty twenty five, were reigniting
the rivalries of the golden era. And by the way,
Connor McGregor, just a couple of days ago, just came
back on social media talking about he had taken a
drug called Ebo Gain I think, and somehow had changed
himself completely. That was what Connor has been saying to
(02:29):
the rest of us for the last couple of days.
And then, just as he had said he had changed
and he was a new man and that he was
back to his old self before all the addictions and
drugs and everything else, he got back on the Habib
hate train this morning when he tweeted out there's just
no way good guy Kobeb used his late father's name
as well as Dagistan's culture to scam his fans and
(02:51):
fire sell a bunch of digital NFT online and then
delete all the content after they were sold, leaving his
fans robbed of their money. There's just no way good
guy do this. Obviously, Connor's being a little sarcastic there,
but he is talking about a post that's since been deleted,
and I don't know that I'll be able to find
it here. I don't know if this is the same tweet,
because this is a tweet from six hours ago, but
(03:15):
it's talking about what Connor brought up in the beginning.
This is a beep saying the auction has ended for
all papacas. Papacas have been sold. Appreciate everyone who participated
in it and become the holder of this great and
exclusive digital gift, gift with space value that you can
share with your friends and loved one. Thank you for
trust only on telegram. And here's the video.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
In Dagistan, for this head means something. It's called the papaca.
It's show where you come from. It's about respect, discipline,
that things my father teach me.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Everyman in my village grew up.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Seeing this head. It's reminds us that strengths come from tradition,
not just power.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
My father wore it before me.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
One day my students will follow what I love. Yes, yes,
now anyone can gift. It pass on a gift to
a friend, brother, a mentor a way to show respect.
Whatever you are on Telegram, this is my story, this
is my culture. This is my digital gift on Telegram.
(04:27):
Digital collectibles on the tongue blockchain passive.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Okay, so there you go here a you've talked about
digital collectibles on the blockchain is hilarious. Habib did not
necessarily scam with this idea. It is more so that
the idea has no worth and that this papaka is
essentially a sticker or an emoji that you can use
to react to things on Telegram. But he keeps calling
(04:53):
it a gift when in reality it is something that
he sold at auction. So in this specific case, this
one's a orderline scam. He's not providing you with anything
of value. He's not even providing you with what an
NFT normally would be, which is like a digital pixelized
one of one piece of art that you could keep
in hold. This is more so something you have to
use on a texting device and that you can send
(05:16):
to people as a gift, I guess or as a
reaction to things. I'm not exactly sure, but like to
show your respect. You're buying an emoji essentially, or you're
buying a skin or a personalized way of interacting online.
But you're buying it at auction, which is a little
scummy because why wouldn't you make it a flat rate
instead of having your own fans getting to a bidding
(05:39):
war with each other over something that has no value.
He keeps saying it it's a gift with value. The
only value, just like most NFTs are how much people
can run the number up and say it has value
because it gets more expensive, And this one's really no different. Again,
no one's being forced to buy any of this stuff,
but I think people were genuinely confused on what they
were buying based on the ad. Now again he goes
(06:01):
through it at the end and talks about what you
can do with it, But some people thought legitimately they
were buying like an NFT of the hat, which is
not the case. And also again it's like, what do
you do once you even have this thing? And how
many people knew that they were getting this specific thing
versus an NFT or versus some other digital blockchain. Like
there's a lot of words that can confuse people, especially
(06:23):
if they're not familiar with crypto and the other part
of this which you know, not to bring family into it,
but Habib did using his father, who is unfortunately passed
on to talk about this product and selling it, and
he keeps saying it's a gift to you, but he
keeps making people buy it, and apparently that part of
it feels a little scummy as far as like, hey,
this is about respect. This is from my dad, and
(06:45):
the people that know Habib and know his dad take
that very seriously. And the weight behind using that for
a promo is that people are going to say, wow,
you know this is something that means a lot to Habib,
I should buy it. You know, this is our guy,
I should buy it. After so many people bought it,
they sold four point four million dollars worth of the
hats in one day. Now again, this hat, it says
(07:07):
current round one of two ninety as. I mean, they're
just gonna keep running this thing over and over. Could
you call this one a scam? Yeah, because there is
no real value in it, and they told you there's
value in it. They keep saying it's a real time
value digital asset, when in reality, it's a sticker. It's
an emoji for you to react to things on Telegram.
You don't use telegram, that I guess it doesn't matter,
but most of the people that are his fans are
(07:29):
using Telegram and this is targeted specifically for those people.
So borderline at the best, but very scummy and disingenuous.
I would say for Habib to be promoting something like
this that doesn't have any value, that doesn't offer anything
new to people, that really is just a little worthless
digital thing on their phone. It's like buying a Fortnite skin.
(07:49):
It doesn't help you in the game, It doesn't do
anything to increase the value of the game. It just
is there and you paid money for it. And again
the fact that they auctioned it versus having it out
a flat rate, making the fans of Abibe bit against
each other to jack up the price, so that every
piece that was sold wasn't the same value. One was higher,
one was lower depending on how many people bid on it.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I don't like that. I think it's just the most
recent in a long list and the most controversial right
now because Connor McGregor jumped in on it, but Habib
or someone running Habib's account jumped in to respond to
what Connor McGregor said, and he said, you absolute liar.
You will always try to darken my name after you
got destroyed that night, but you'll never achieve that. Yes,
good guys don't do that. They don't create exclusive digital gifts. Again,
(08:35):
why does he keep calling it a gift with real
time value? It has no real time value that you
can share with your friends and family. The gifts in
the shape of papaca hat that symbolized traditions and culture
of Dagistan people, traditions and culture that slowly walking over
this world. Whether you like that or not. What does
that mean? What does that mean? That sounded that the
(08:55):
part of the end is kind of weird. Now again,
there's nothing wrong with you know, people enjoy the culture
of Dagastan, but traditions and culture that are slowly walking
over this world, whether you like it or not. I again,
I don't know what that was inferring, but not everyone
is going to want to take part in traditional Dagastandi culture.
So if that's like a we're coming for you or
(09:18):
we're gonna take over, it's a little weird but understandable.
Respect blah blah, blah. Now again, do I know that
Habib is the one writing this? Could this be another
Ali banger? Who knows, as we know that his manager,
Ali does tweet off his account from time to time,
and this could be another company as well. But yeah,
again that's just a nothing explanation from Habib. There is
(09:40):
no real time value. It isn't a gift because people
had to auction for it and they made millions on it.
Usually when you give a gift, you give it, you
don't make people buy it for millions of dollars. So
don't know what that was. But then kind of responded,
apologize this instant for using your late father's name to
sell these quote gifts that cost your fans so much
of the money. Also, to sell something means it's not
(10:02):
a gift, you low iq trogolodite. This is the direct
opposite of what a gift means. Da da dumbass. Again,
Connor was supposed to have taken this spiritual healing over
the last couple of months and come back. He also
posted something else that's now been deleted as well, so
both guys are taking turns with the deleted tweets. Today,
(10:22):
Connor also posted a video of himself at the dentist
with his mouth wide open, saying he had a friend
who was an inbred who looked like that. I assume
he was referring to Abib only because the beef was
going on, not because I think Habib is inbred. It's
Connor mcgrigger the right guy to be talking about crypto
scams and trying to hold Habib's feet to the fire
(10:43):
with it. No, absolutely not. Why because Connor himself has
partaken in the old crypto scams using his name and likeness.
I don't know when this was, but this was I
think Connor's pin tweet For a while. I changed the
fight game, I changed the whiskey game, I changed the
stout game. Now it's time to change the crypto game.
This is just the beginning. Get real token completely and
(11:05):
utterly fucking tanks out of the gate and Connor deletes
the tweet. So this is not something that's new, and
this is not something that Connor hasn't done before. He
clearly has, and it absolutely fucking flopped. So right message,
wrong messenger. But I want to make sure that we
talk about that because there was more back and forth.
(11:25):
As Oabib said My count is fifty six former drug
addicts at my rehabilitation centers in Dagastan that I treated.
I'd have to think he meant to say that I created.
But Obib was not personally treating drug addicts in Dagastan.
I know that he does have a drug attic recovery facility,
and I think he actually funds it, but he wasn't
personally in there, like let's get you clean, that was
(11:46):
it happening. He might have been doing some motivational speaking,
but there were like doctors I'm sure in there. But
then he says, come to Dagistan, Connor, they'll take care
of you here. Mexico didn't help you as far as
I can see, Connor said, And who will I be
meeting there? Because it won't be you. You can't scam
me with your lies, You tax dodging scammer on the run.
And then he puts the UAE flag there. Very interesting,
(12:07):
your poor family. I pray, I pray for your constant lies.
I pray, I pray, I pray while you lie, you
should just be honest because Allah knows all. So yeah,
this sounds just like Connor and just like Aviv in
twenty eighteen. Right message, maybe wrong messenger. But going into
this further, it's not just about what's gone on today
(12:27):
with the latest installment of Habib using crypto markets to
enrich himself at the demise or at least at the
decision making of his fan base. This is a deeper
story than just that, and I'm not sure that people
even know it, but I want to talk about it.
This has been going on for years, and I have wondered, like,
as much as we criticize all of these fighters, John
(12:49):
Jones for beating up his wife and constantly getting into
trouble and potentially having more assault chargers than even that
Connor McGregor with the sexual assault allegation and all the
trouble he's gotten. In let's face it, MMA is a
bad guy sports, so we aren't necessarily beholden to everybody
being a good guy. I'm still gonna watch John Jones fight,
still gonna watch Connor fight. If Abib came back, I'd
still watch a bee because at the end of the day,
(13:11):
I try to separate who they are personally from what
they are as fighters. But while doing that, you can
still comment on who they are personally while being a
fan of them in the cage as a fighter. And
I say that because I want to talk about this
thing with Abib, where he has looked at as the
beacon for respect, humility, good guy, like Connor said, the
good guy Habib a man with honor, with morals that
(13:33):
can't be compromised, and a lot of those based on
his religion, yes, but just in general who he is.
And I don't understand why he doesn't get more criticism
for the things he does that are not shining lights
of what he says, he operates on, what the morality
code he lives by or tells others to live by
while doing stuff like this. It's all started back in
(13:53):
I think, even before this tweet. But twenty twenty three,
Habib was a part of a project called GMT, and
he had been since twenty twenty one. At the time,
he said, we have been developing a joint product for
a long time and it finally completed.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
It.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
You will soon be able to buy the NFT, which
will become a pass to my private club and will
mine bitcoin for you coffee Zilla. By the way, underneath this,
if you need money this bad, why not step back
into the ring instead of scamming your fans. And it's
clear that this was a pump and dump crypto scheme
because when you do try to click on the link
to any of Habib's actual websites or anything to do
(14:26):
with Habib himself, it takes you to this website, which
again doesn't have any of Habib's tokens on the front page,
doesn't show you anything about what Habib is saying in
that tweet. It's almost like it's a completely different website now.
And when you do look at what happened when this
came out, this is the same promo that Habib did
in the last tweet. I was referring to, do you
(14:47):
want to enter a close community and get the chance
to meet with me? Get the chance to meet with me.
The new crypto product I'm creating in collaboration with the
GMT project will be your pass. I'll tell you all
the details soon and when the coin gets launched, it
absolutely here's launch point twenty twenty three. Second time, it
gets absolutely rugged. I mean, just fucking rob And there's
(15:09):
no criticism for this. And again I'm not saying that
Habib is in the back going. Yes, my turn to
rug pull these guys. He's probably paid a fat stack
of money to promote something that deep players are the
bad faith actors behind this actual token. We're going to
scam people anyway with it. But he's promoting promoting the
crypto scams, even with ignorance at that point makes you liable,
(15:31):
and that does deserve criticism. And if this was an
isolated incident, I'd be like, you know what, Habib probably
just got some bad information, didn't realize what he was
promoting and how badly it could affect his own fans,
because I would almost guarantee his own fans were the
people that were caught getting rug pulled after rug pulled,
after rug pulled after rug pulled, over and over on
that same coin. That's only one coin or token or whatever.
(15:53):
And for more information on the one we just took
a look at, there's this article that's out by calf
Kicker which talked about the GMT token from Go Mining,
which again previously Habib had endorsed and promised investors the
ability to mine bitcoin through NFT ownerships backed by constantly
growing computing power. Now, remember is what it says will
mine bitcoin for you? Turns out no, it didn't. Investors
(16:16):
who purchased GMT tokens NFTs discovered they owned digital images
rather than actual computing equipment, despite promotional materials suggesting tangible
mining hardware. The project ultimately collapsed, leaving participants with substantial losses.
Another one here in twenty twenty one, Habib's involvement with
Habib Never Commit Off NFT gold cards simply disappointed investors,
(16:37):
with the project reportedly delivering minimal or no value to
those who purchase tokens, and also apparently on the blockchain.
You can go back and look on open scene and
look at the blockchain for even this NFT, and as
you can see, it starts out very high, massive dump rebound,
massive dump rebound, massive dump, and small rebound all the
(16:58):
way down. It's a continuous thing that we see with
Abib and his promotional activities, including the promoting of something
called game Plan, where Habib was featured as one of
the fighters. I think on game Plan, let me actually
look here, Yeah, ready to explore the game Plan metaverse
with me? Let's go. As an honest fan of Abeb
since twenty thirteen, I must sadly admit that he has
indeed fallen off after I trusted him and lost one
(17:19):
thousand dollars. Man, I know how you lost your thousand.
So this guy is a building game plan as well,
and he is continually backing Habib, and again it doesn't
really stop there. That has been going on, and again
you're seeing a pattern of Habib partaking in things that
are clearly scams, which makes me go, Okay, you may
not have known it the first time, and you used
(17:41):
your name and likeness to promote this company that was
waiting to rugpole your fans, but when you do it
two or three or four times at a certain point,
are you not just a scammer as well? Are you
not just willfully scamming your audience by promoting a coin
that is going to be rugbool. I'm not saying Habib
knows it's going to be rugbull, but it happens every time.
(18:01):
And this is separate from the hats and the telegram
messages that we're talking about today. But this is a
pattern of Abib just you know, throwing things out there
for his fans and quite frankly taking advantage of them
by having his name attached to these things that are
clearly at least scummy or shady and at most flat
out scams. And if you're thinking way, that was years ago.
(18:21):
He's learned his lesson. He doesn't do that anymore. How
about from a month ago, here's a bee promoting something
called multibank Io, an exclusive multi billion dollar global venture,
a bunch of words powered by MBG token. Together, we're
building the first regulated sporting real world assets ecosystem by
tokenizing thirty plus world class ABIB gyms. This is my
(18:45):
next round. So again, a lot of words to say,
nothing but here let him explain it.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Sam Aleko, Everyone, I'm very happy to announce my exclusive
partnership with Multibank Group, well the leading finance institution, together
with Chatman Miss.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
First off, I don't think I've ever heard of this
world leading finance institution, but we'll continue Nashib.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
We will launching something truly unique connection with sport, finance
and technology throw by MBG Tooken. Our plan is opening
around the world thirty habib Jim. It will be promoted
by a multibank ecosystem and it will create a lot
of opportunity for athletes and the fans around the world.
(19:31):
It will be beautiful project, all right.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
So he's gonna use this token to promote the opening
of his thirty new gyms around the world, and I
assume the profits from said token are gonna go toward
opening those But then again, they want you guys to
get involved, they want people to sign up, get involved,
and let's get going. And when you buy said multibank
io token, when you take your hard earned money and
(19:55):
put it into something Habibi is promoting a crypto currency
or at least a platfor on the blockchain. This is
what happens. Absolute fucking rug pull again, and a redistribution,
and a rug pull, and another one and another one,
until there's nothing fucking less. And it's like this is
a month ago. This isn't a couple of years ago.
This isn't when Habib needed money. Right, Potentially, you could argue, okay,
(20:19):
before Habib had the big time fights, he needed money
to help sustain him and everything else, although there is
the rumors of who was backing Habib during the time
of his rise in the gym in general over in Dagastan.
And I'm not trying to say that Habib is a
terrible guy, but you make terrible decisions like this, and
I don't really know who else to point the finger at.
Now again, you can also point the finger at the
(20:40):
dumbasses that are continually buying this slot he puts out
and acting like it's going to change their lives in
any way, just for them to get absolutely scammed. So
it's like you have to bear some responsibility as someone
that is looked up to and has carried themselves as
the moral fighter, as the guy that makes the right decisions,
as the guy that's the good guy. Right, it's not
(21:00):
the conorrac Gregor is doing all the things that are
haram and doing all the things that are you know,
sending him to hell in a handbasket, or even John Jones,
who obviously does a lot of those same things Abib
is supposed to and again has kind of been the
selling point of Habib is the man of dignity, respect
on or, won't take advantage of his people, won't do
things to promote gambling, won't put those on his platforms.
(21:23):
And then in contrast, you see stuff like this which
I don't really have an answer for. And again I'm
kind of bouncing back and forth on the timeline. But
here is Habib promoting something called ice Open Network, Ice
blockchain pioneering the future of blockchain technology, bringing the power
of Web three to everyone. Their mission of putting control, privacy,
and ownership back in the hands of the people deeply
(21:45):
aligns with my values of respect and dependence and empowerment.
With growing a community of twenty million users, Ice Open
Network is making a real impact and I'm excited to
help them inspire even more people to join this movement.
Now again, that all sounds nice, but in reality, this
is what has left of the people that are still
partaking in the Ice network, and this is their reddit
for the public members of what I can find with
(22:08):
Ice network. This is from three months ago, So it
seems like I've lost all hope and Ice network chain
is definitely ice cold. No users, bit frost as a joke,
please change my mind. I want to believe I'll be
able to afford a sausage one day. I don't know
what that is the Ice team shadow band my two
posts haha, Yeah, the Ice team tricked Ice holders into bridging.
They're Ice tokens from BMB smart chain onto io in
(22:33):
liquid chain and unilaterally disabled reverse bridging. What's really been
happening to this token is it even worth buying at
this point. Now, this is from the Reddit community called
crypto scams. This person says from three months ago, Hello guys, warning,
ICE Open network is a scammy token. The ICE team
lurd holders into bridging their tokens to a liquid chain
and then disabled reverse bridging. There has to be again,
(22:55):
just some responsibility and at least a light being shined
on this. For habid Ner maka bet Off, this is
out side of the character that he portrays to the
rest of theme community. And that's why I'm surprised I
don't see more people talking about this, to say the least,
And I don't know really how else to bring this up,
other than just to again have it out there, like,
it's not just the papacas, It's not just the crypto scams.
(23:16):
It's not just that Habib was allegedly potentially trying to
evade his taxes of three point four million in Russia,
which is why maybe you could see him doing stuff
like this, but it's also stuff that has nothing to
do with crypto currency. Something like this. Today marks a
defining moment in our history. As we democratize real estate investing.
We're launching wha he'd private real estate in the United States.
Now this is something that Habib has been partnered with
(23:39):
across the world. Why he'd real estate? Who I guess
their whole thing is, we don't really believe in UH
interest rates or anything like that. This company has also
been charged by the SEC. We're misleading its clients, So
I gotta talk about this. It's just another example. Washington,
d C. February ten, twenty twenty two. The Securities in
Exchange Commission today charged New York based robo advisor While
(24:01):
He'd Invest LLC with making misleading statements and breaching its
fiduciary duty and for compliance failures related to its Sharia
advisory business. According to the SEC's order, from September twenty
eighteen through July twenty nineteen, While He'd Invest advertised the
existence of its own property funds when no such its
funds existed, and also promise investors that they would periodically
(24:23):
rebalance their advisory accounts, but they did not do so.
The SEC order further finds that when While He'd Investment
ultimately launched a property ETF in July twenty nineteen, it
used its client's advisory assets to seed the eft without
providing disclosure to clients of any conflicts of interest. The
order also finds that what He'd Invest marketed itself is
(24:44):
providing advisory services compliant with Islamic or Sharia law, including
marketing the importance of its income purification process on its website.
Despite these representations, the order finds that What He'd Invest
did not adopt and implement written policies and procedures addressing
how it would assure Sharia compliance and an ongoing basis.
So again, you just see this stuff over and over
(25:06):
where he's linked to some very odd and peculiar, somewhat
scummy businesses and where he sometimes is promoting them, sometimes NonStop.
And I feel like that's a problem that we should
talk about, at least if we're going to address everything
that's wrong with the Connor mcgregors of the world and
the John Jones of the world, who, yes, have done
terrible things, and you could say, if you're going to
(25:27):
play moral police, they've done worse things at least allegedly
on Connor McGregor's case with alleged rape and John Jones
domestic assault and you know, hitting the pregnant lady with
his car and whatever was supposed to have happened a
couple of months ago, or John maybe crashed a car
and left the scene. But at the same time, should
we not keep the same energy for someone like Habib,
who was supposed to be the beacons, who supposed to
(25:47):
be the most honorable of all of us. I think
you have to be able to keep the same energy
with everyone. Has nothing to do with his religion, has
nothing to do with where he's from. It has to
do with his words, and again his culture meaning one thing,
and his actions in some cases doing another. I could
be wrong. There could be other guys out there that
are promoting so many more NFT scams or crypto scams,
(26:09):
or fraudulent companies, or partnering with people that are running
fraudulent companies or any of this stuff. Habi might have
the track record. He might have the most consistent scammy,
scummy type of company promotions over the years, four or
five of them at least, and some still going on.
I mean, I just saw another one where he talked
about promoting this company Arena two and that one seems
(26:31):
to be a whole lot of bullshit as well. Again,
this is on the uh Kathiker article, it says. The
announcement arrives amid fresh controversy surrounding Ermergametov's endorsement of Arena two,
another blockchain based sports platform that allows fans to influence
live matches through token voting. His social media posts promoting
the platform six as Side football tournament immediately drew backlash
(26:53):
from following backlash from followers. Quote guys, let's play in
this tournament together, mca Mettov posted and promoting Arena two,
which launched its social media presence in October twenty twenty
four and maintains fewer than three thousand followers. Critics quickly
responded with accusations of hypocrisy, one user commenting haram a
reference to activities prohibited under Islamic law. It's like, right
(27:14):
in front of your face. The guy's doing it on purpose.
Now again, I would have understood if it was one
or two times he had done this, But it's on purpose,
it's right in front of you. That to me is
scummy and it's bullshit to act like he is the
arbiter of morality and you know, respect and doing things
the right way. If this is the type of stuff
you're promoted is this newest one with the papakas the
(27:35):
biggest scam he's been involved in. Probably not. It made
him a lot of money and people bought it. And again,
if you are buying these type of things purely because
you're a fan of a beib and they offer you
no real value, then you kind of get what you're
paying for in that case. But I can't really make
sense of the over and over and over crypto scams
and how in any way that reflects the man Abe
purports to be and the values that he hold. That's
(27:57):
just keeping it one hundred across the board. Nothing to
do with anything in his per personal life, nothing to
do with anything in his religion. Just actions and words.
I feel like they matter when you talk about these things.
And if you're going to call out people like Connor McGregor,
which we all have multiple videos on this channel of
me doing that, we're gonna call out John Jones, which
we all have multiple videos on this channel of me
doing that, I think you have to keep the same
(28:17):
energy or a beam they're making meat off, and his
constant promoting of crypto scams in other shady business dealings,
there's not many good guys in combat sports. It's a
sport full of bad guys, and that's fine, but let's
not act like in this rivalry of good versus evil
that anyone is squeaky clean in this game. Those are
my thoughts. I think Abib is probably one of the
biggest at least promoters of crypto scams in combat sports.
(28:41):
Floyd Maywether's probably up there as well. Connor's definitely up there.
There's others that I'm probably not even thinking of. But
you guys, let me know what you think. Have I
got this right? Or am I just completely off a
bee business and everyone else is running his accounts? He
has nothing to do with any of this, and he's
just caught in the crossfire. I have to think he's
not as aloof as you guys say he is. When
you're like, oh, that's all Ali doing it. Oh that's
all his advisor's doing it. No, I think Abib knows
(29:03):
a lot more of what's going on in his own
world and his own business than you guys give him
credit for. He's not ignorant. He might be willfully ignorant,
but he's not ignorant. That's just what I think, you guys,
let me know in the comments what happens next in
this ongoing beef with Connor and Abibe. Are we talking
White House fight? No, these guys are just gonna argue
for the rest of their lives. But do I think
Abib is a crypto scammer? Yeah? I do. Do I
(29:25):
think he should stop doing it? Yeah? I do. But
if you guys are dumb enough to buy it, you're
gonna keep getting this result anyway. Does he do another one?
I don't have those answers, but I guess we'll find
out
