THANK YOU FINALLY!
I didn't even know he had Steemit until someone linked me his profile, and it made me so angry how much SP he has and how much payout he gets.

WHY IS A SCAMMER RAPING MY REWARDS POOL WITH STEEM POWER HE BOUGHT WITH MONEY HE SCAMMED FROM PEOPLE INCLUDING MYSELF?

Story time!!

When I first got into crypto, I heard of bitconnect and invested straight away because that shit was GOOD, compared to normal investments. After a while, I even referred some of my friends because I BELIEVED IN IT (like an idiot).

I made my money back, but many of them didn't... and I apologised and even offered to reimburse their money back for small investments I could afford to pay back, but actually none of my mates accepted it and said it was alright, as I didn't know and they should've researched it more. However, there are randoms from the internet that I also referred to via forums, and I won't ever have the chance to apologise to them as I don't even know who they were... let alone have the courage to ever seek them out :/

That's the difference between a NORMAL PERSON (i'm not saying i'm a good person), and oxygen wasters. They're not only unapologetic, they're blaming the investors AND PROMOTING NEW SCAMS!!

Thank you @berniesanders for taking a stand against shitheads like trevon, and their army of loyal idiots. I hope the trio (cryptonick, trevon and the other guy) all pay for what they did, from what I heard there are lawsuits against them?? but i'm not too sure.

I invested about 100 USD in bitconnect from the advise of @cryptoeater and when it all went down, I had withdrawn nothing from it (as withdrawing costs so much).

Despite him offering the money to me, I did not take it as honestly 100 is not too much to lose for a lesson in cryptos, be vigilant of scams!!

From @cryptoeater's point of view, I don't know how people like Trevon can live with themselves, overtly scamming people so much of their hard earned money and even bragging about it???

From my point of view, HOW CAN SO MANY PEOPLE STAY LOYAL TO HIM??
HIS VIDEOS ARE SO DUMB AND SO CRINGE AHAHAH

yeah this is a nice tldr of my comment LOL

and+ i hope you enjoy your 50 steem i gave you for your birthday ;)

You just typed that so people know you gave me 50 steem for my birthday didn't you hahaha

yeh u know me too well :)

I always said Bitconnect was scam. People are stupid.

Great news huh? @cryptoeater ! We were only talking about this yesterday 🤗

omg yes! you're the only reason I even knew he has an account!!
made me so angry when i saw it...
also checked his follows and saw our pals cryptonick and craig (finally know his name!!)
cryptonick no longer posts and craig's posts are all 0 payout too now, great stuff guys!!

Can't believe this happened in just 24 hours, boom! Can't stop smiling, justice, I love it!

same :)))

thanks for da suggestion :)

It seems like some of the large stakeholders are too impatient to wait for organic/sustainable growth and want to get investment to fund expansion plans as quickly as possible. Haejin's target audience have money to invest and are just waiting for someone to tell them what to do with it, so they consider him valuable for raising money quickly. I'm guessing trevonjb would be the same.

There's a serious risk of that sort of shortsighted voting attracting the wrong sort of stakeholders long term. If that happens Steem could devolve into a Ponzi scheme: https://steemit.com/steem/@troglodactyl/is-steem-a-ponzi-scheme

Totally in agreement with you @troglodactyl, the public of haaejin has money to invest they just need someone to guide them, and practically trevonjb will be something similar then @berniesanders

This feels like its bad for the platform. I have little to no pitty for people who fell for the Bitconnect thing as it was pretty obvious that it would crash eventually.

But Trevon is pretty harmless and probably not worth this much trouble. And if he does leave it will probably tank the steem market noticeably.

edit : Oh hold up, this is because he is botting. Well fuckem then.

So! Went to that thread (because I don't know what's going on, and I gotta know) Can I just say lol about finding this particular gem:

berniesanderslol.JPG

Presumably you've rectified that, but you flagged yourself initially accidentally?

DQmPN7pGftTarBAKVUFj9TZN9VZSyXAvjkhmRe3UYTV2raT.jpg

I'm stealing this LOL

Straight comedy.... thanks alot, I spit my coffee out when I saw this... pure gold! You made my day😂😂😂

LOL
his latest unflagged post is
https://steemit.com/steemit/@trevonjb/steem-is-treating-me-better-than-all-other-social-media

so steemit is treating him better than other social medias, and here he gets flagged?

I wonder what they do to him in the other places

Oh shit we must change things right now

I had a decent reward that you flagged...I thought you were attacking me, I did not know that Trevon was part of the bitconnect scam, I was only following him because he left me a massive upvote on a comment I had made a while ago...If I had known he made his money on the back of uninformed people then I wouldnt of followed him....I will unfollow him now, thanks for the heads up, I hope you didn't hurt my reputation by down voting me

How did you NOT know about this? I mean these news were mainstream...

I had no idea, I followed him after seeing some videos of him on YouTube.

Saw this post and read about the bitconnect scam so have unfollowed him.

Ahh okay. Well, it's good that you know now :)

I am into so many different things I can't keep track about who is a scammer and who is not, but now I get it, he , craig grant, cryptonick and others were pushing bitconnect and made a lot of money off of it and now playing innocent and showing off their wealth.

I definitely feel you. There just isn't enough time

Great work @berniesanders, I want to leave negative comments on trevon and craig grant!

A few days back I have made this meme concerning the Bitconnect situation

Keep one eye open for the scammers, thanks @berniesanders.

BEEEETCONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECT!

The bitconnect scammer.

Unbenannt.png

He is a known scammer by promoting a known ponzi scheme to his thousands of followers.

And apparently Craig Grant was into some Nigerian catfishing scams that targeted lonely men on dating sites.

LOL! Priceless!

It is not just one ponzi. He promotes others like lendconnect too.

Ok boss

20180130_214154.png

What's really wrong with some steemians, why are they abusing the generosity of the community

Because this particular turd is a known scammer, and Steemit loves to support scammers.

I dont wanna belief steemit supports scammers. Maybe its probably cos the not all the rich (whales with steem power) are as kind as they should be.

I'll plead with you to join my #SteemWarAgainstPoverty lets decentralize steem and have everyone across the world have a full taste of this platform.

capitalism can not exist without poverty

Applying for the negative comment exclusion, thanks.

Hi @berniesanders,
I had been following Trevon James both on STEEMIT and YOUTUBE since last July.. almost fell for BitConnect but didn't... You are completely right about him. What about Craig Grant, wasn't he a part of BitConnect too?

Yes I think so.

He was also supply pictures of women to a Nigerian catfishing scam.

I was downvoted for talking shit

don't have any text to check? don't have any text to check? Click "Select Samples".When I initial got into crypto, I detected of bitconnect and endowed instantaneously as a result of that shit was sensible, compared to traditional investments. once a short while, I even referred a number of my friends as a result of I BELIEVED IN IT (like Associate in Nursing idiot).

I created my a reimbursement, however several of them did not... and that i apologised and even offered to reimburse their a reimbursement for little investments I might afford to pay back, however really none of my mates accepted it and same it had been alright, as I did not recognize and that they should've researched it additional. However, there square measure randoms from the net that I additionally noted via forums, and that i will not ever have the prospect to apologise to them as i do not even recognize United Nations agency they were... coupled with

cool .. you are right.

Thanks for the knowledge didnt know this abt

him wow eye opener for sure .

I wonder how tf this trevonjb is not getting banned?
He doesnt even hide what he is doing..
#banThisScum

You are right

why he will flag users?
its really discouraging

Oh!
Thanks for the info @berniesanders!

I agree with you

Just joined 2 days ago. I am now aware of the BCC scam. Didn't know anything about it prior to them going bellyup and seeing lawsuit videos. Hard to believe there are people in the world who thought any coin or lending platform could sustain 40 percent a month. As PT Barnum said "there is a sucker born evey minute." Having said that and being a Progressive if Bernie Sanders says someone is bad news I tend to believe.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I understand that Trevon is a piece of shit, but I did not know we had a king of steemit before i posted my negative post and you instantly flagged me bro.

I don't know the specific reason why it is bad for me to comment on his post... it was a pretty good comment you ass.

On a side note... how does one beat Bernie screwing you comments with his bot flagging...

Trevon might be a worthless piece of human feces.. but you bernie are not a good person yourself, silencing everyone so only you get paid/viewed.. I see your comment is still up on his blog... guess only you are above the law.

After review I regret this comment and no longer support it. Bernie does good work.

I still support that Trevon is a piece of shit.

Oh fuck off already. Stop supporting a scammer and you'll be just fine.

I am not supporting this scammer, I know he is a scammer and a worthless human being.

I want to make it very clear that I do not like, support, or give a fuck about Trevon.

But what I do want is to post my comment about how much I hate him and what I think about what he has done without "asking your permission"

My comment is negative and I had hoped that people that read his post would see my comment and discard and not follow him... but you made that dream die... by being a comment Hitler... but I guess I will just have to ask the great Bernie if I can post from now on..

I thought Steemit was a decent place for someones voice to be heard... but I guess there are tyrannical assholes here too.

I was going to remove it, since I made a mistake, but you can fuck off and consider your account killed if you reply to me again. Then we'll see who is a "tyrannical asshole".

BernieSanders I would like to apologize for my comment, after doing some research into what you are about and the things you fight for I fully support your mission.

I am new to Steemit and did/do not know enough to make or hassle you with my ignorant comments.

I assumed that you were trolling me or small contributors comments. It was wrong of me to assume that of you.

I was upset about you telling me to "fuck off already" and jumped the gun with my reply. I understand that you may not have time to reply to everyone in a descriptive manner.

I hope you continue you mission to make Steemit a place where scammers have no place.

Sorry again and thank you for the job you do.

Since Bernie doesn't swear on TV, he like's to save it for Steem. Old men deserve to be grumpy ;)

@taaveti I am new to steemit and my line of work is more about regulating than deregulating. Most of the comments I have read raise a serious concern about this person scamming people. This is not about @berniesanders profit, sharing or not sharing his wealth, being or not being on top of Steemit, BUT is about people LOOSING their savings or all they have. That's a freaking crime against humanity and negative publicity to the cryptocurrency.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

You are completely correct good sir, I am new too Steemit myself and I did not know who BernieSanders was or what he was about.

After doing some research into him. I regret my comment. Bernie is doing good work and I feel foolish for what I said.

I totally agree about Trevon, he looted many a persons bank account and he should feel ashamed for his actions.

I really like you comment about "That's a freaking crime against humanity and negative publicity to the cryptocurrency." very true

@berniesanders uses his vote to ensure the fraud doesnt make money, while he could just do like everyone else and dont give a shit.
If you look at well ALL of @berniesanders posts he actually rewards good comments while he could just reward himself instead.

You are correct, I regret my comment after doing the research, @berniesanders does good work. I was ignorant of what he is about.

I support the work he does now that I am more informed.

Hey there, I'm new to steemit. Can you explain flagging and how it works on here. I understand why everyone is mad at Trevon, but i got one nice piece of advice from him. It was to join steemit!!!!! Even so it doesnt excuse anything. Thanks for reading my comment, some advice would be excellent. I plan to be active 1-3 times a day on here.

@berniesanders. You were given credit on this post,the authors is very creative.

THANK YOU FOR EXPOSING THIS SCAMMER!!!
I used to follow his Bitconnect endeavors. I never really invested into them myself because I was smarter than that but I enjoyed watching him scam people (I also used adblock when I watched his videos). He did a scummy thing but what was even funnier was how he said that he never gives financial advise. He literally said in a video, "You guys should invest in this right now so you can quit your jobs like me." I love following to see the dumb shit that he posts everyday. He is just one of the lucky people who got into crypto early enough and figured out how to scam everyone.
I honestly feel bad for anyone that fell into this scam. I sincerely wish you guys luck in getting your money back. Trevon James is a scammer and I would love to see him lose all of his influence.

I'm tired of trevon manipulating people and making a ton of money off of it. This has got to stop. He pulls people into the crypto community through youtube, and "directs" them. The places that he directs them to usually end up being really bad, like ponzi schemes, etc.

I found this guy's channel late last year and thought it was just bullshit, turns out I was right... He lives like 10 minutes away from me.

Thanks Bernie for fighting the good fight to stop reward pool rape, scammers, and more.

Interesting.... I'm crafting a little post to the guy myself.

Just a note I'd like to leave here, yes I got here because of Trevon and I thank him for it because I can see for myself the potential of STEEM and how it can greatly improve my lifestyle and of everyone involved, I never saw any long term potential in bitconnect thus never invested in it. After reading a lot of the true posts about their views on Trevon like one that @thejohalfiles commented on it truly gave me a different view on the whole situation. So please leave me out of these flags, thank you in advance.

Nice post Thanks for sharing I follow you and wish you good luck

HURRAY CHEERS!! @berniesanders

Didn't knew he was one of Bitconnect promoters. Shouldn't he be scared because Bitconnect scheme is somehow illegal...

I like how he said in one of his vlogs:

"I have delegated all my Steem Power so I can post freely on the Steem blockchain, without having to think about upvoting my own content."

Or something like that.. When he spends ~$100 to buy votes from bots.

I can't help it, but I personally think that's more or less the same thing. At least I'm honest about upvoting my own content.

That's good initiative #bernie :)
I fallen into that Bitconnect scam :( , I lost more than 85K INR(Sold my GF Gold & invested in that) .. after seeing @craig-grant videos i invested in lending & boom gone :(

Dont leave these guys ( #trevonjb #craig-grant)
One day this guy craig-grant posted a video claiming that he earned 400+ btc by using bitconnect & i attracted to that :( after a few months & everything is gone :(
#bernie your team is doing good job .. keep flagging these scammers :)

Thank you @berniesanders for taking a stand against shitheads like trevon, and their army of loyal idiots...Keep one eye open for the scammers...I support what you're doing bernie. :)

Wao @berniesanders
That's not nice.
He should not be expecting to hear nice stuffs always on your comments.
Most of the "not nice" comments should be a way he checks where he has gone wrong
A saying goes that "a customer is always right"

I done did call him a scammer.

But why? Who is this person?

Damn it @berniesanders! I'm very excited about this kind of actions! Finally the big ones are doing something radical to help the community of this plattform. @trevonjb is a fucking scammer Since cryptocollectors club facebook group, He always has been promoting shit and ponzi schemes because of his greedy desires!

Please if you need support with some spanish post or translations contact me, I can do them! I'm very angry about the centralization and How some whales are cheating people...

Seein his latest post makes me sick. What a complete leach. This guy will do anything to make an easy buck.

He is a liar and a scammer! Do not support him. Screwed himself on YouTube now moved here to try to scam. I am wondering if @minnowbooster returned his delegation also. So that he receives no SBD from that delegation.

He is really selfish about the way he does business he buys all of his upvotes using the minnowbooster. He's just the trickster funnel marketer. But I'm pretty sure somebody's going to get him one of these days. Some people have lost their life savings because of him.

Yeah, you're right. Trevonjb is posting only shit in steemit. Even used to promote ponzi schemes like bitconnect in his videos and even through adsense. He has been making fool of innocent investers for his own profit.

I support what you're doing bernie. :)

These guys knew that it was a scam yet they promoted it to earn more from affiliate earnings. They deserve no support here. They should also lose money like others lost in bitconnect.

read your post I really liked your topic, thank you for the post, you are the best blogger, put you my voice, I love steemit friends

Hi. Could you please elaborate on who he is and what he has done? Many of us are quite clueless. Thank you.

Thanks. I would like to be excluded from the flagging so I can partake in the fun.

I rent a little bit of power from @minnowbooster, I do not recommend it anymore thanks :(
Thanks @berniesanders

This is excellent news! Lets work together to keep Steemit clean and scam free!!

Can you explain the situation to me? All I know is he is connected to bitconnect and is currently buying his own upvotes.

That's pretty much the situation.

the community has spoken

hahaha true!

This accounts primary purpose is to call out what I'd term the Shit Bags of Steem / general scummy behavior. To have a record of it on the block chain under a keyword people will stumble on for a long time to come.
If you could add it to your lists I'd appreciate it.

@trevonjb? I just got to know him of recently. Has he done anything in the past that I know nothing about ? Someone should please tell me.

He scammed people .

Thank you for the sanity you inculcate on steemit. And all the best in your endeavors. I believe everyone deserves equity and fairness.
Thank you

He still gets 100+$ a day from @minnowbooster because he delegated his SP there.

You are doing the right thing Bernie , scammers like him does not deserve a place on steemit . We support you .

I have been wondering when this is happening. Good work.

What if we comment to troll him with Bitconnect scam videos?

Get the fuck out from Steemit. You and your coke buddy craig have nothing to do here as you scammed thousands of people from millions of dollars of their hard earned money.
I'm waiting and seriously hoping you two get prosecuted and lose al of the money you earned from scamming others. You fucking imoral bastards.
I'm really glad that the whales started to catch up on you two and started downwoting you tards.
Leave steemit or get trashed forever.

that was the comment I made that you flagged, think he deserves to see it....

the comment is here

they deserve it if they comment xD

I did

I duno if you have seen that he is back.
