They used his name and image without permission and illegally in a scam. That's the opposite of participating.
Keep reading. That was after directly participating in at least two crypto companies himself, Efforce and Equi. So he's been both victim and perpetrator.

The fact that he had already been willingly involved in and personally endorsed multiple Crypto schemes makes it even more plausible that people would believe other scams claiming to have his endorsement.

After getting scammed out of $70k and losing a lawsuit about having his likeness used without his permission, perhaps he should be more reluctant and picky about personally endorsing other crypto scams.

When you lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

We're the companies he was involved in scams or are you just assuming everything that involves crypto is a scam?
What crypto company isn't a scam?

Do you actually believe a crypto company that claims to be concerned about energy efficiency isn't a scam??!

Do you actually believe a crypto company that claims to be dispensing investment advice isn't a scam??!

>Will Molly White (Web3 is Going Just Great) recant during 2023?

>Will https://web3isgoinggreat.com/ have to make a significant retraction of its mission and praise blockchain during 2023?

Maybe jon jordan who made that bet just didn't realize that the title of Molly's blog was sarcastic.

Molly White isn't a reputable source
So you took that bet? How much did you lose?
