Federal prosecutors and the SEC earlier this week charged seven Influencers with using Twitter, Discord and YouTube to commit securities fraud that netted them more than $100 million.
An eighth influencer was charged with aiding and abetting the alleged scheme in the SEC’s civil complaint and with conspiracy to commit securities fraud in the Department of Justice’s criminal case.
Each of the defendants had well over 100,000 Twitter followers as of this month, they ran a podcast called “Pennies: Going In Raw” and a YouTube channel called “Goblin Gang”.

I love that people can now make money exposing and/or making fun off scams. What a world.
You definitely should be the replacement for Trevor Noah at The Daily Show.. you’re too funny man 😂
Died laughing!!!!
Hi Patrick, thank you for another hilarious and info video, with Mock the Week ended, you are my only source of both comedy and news (finance). Just a note I think you should consider include the link to Folding Ideas chanel, the clip you used in your video is part of much longer and more in-dept on a similar scammer trend, their video on NFT is also an amazing analyse on some of the current issues.
This guy should work in Hollywood as well
Influencers and football players have the unique ability to buy hypercars and make them look as disgusting as possible with colors, rims and wraps…
First financial comedian I've seen…Now that's a skill.
justice is sweet! "influncas" is the ugliest of vultures.
I love this kind o humor when speaking about serious topics!
0:41 Because there is a lot of shallow greedy people out there?
i'm now intrigued as to how you got all your car knowledge and what you're driving now Patrick? 🤔
ps I've got tears running down my face here – How do you keep such a straight face?
Professor Boyle, you're a savage. I don't envy your students. The scars from even a single botched oral exam will probably never fade.
Pennies going in raw? Wasn’t that a channel on a porn site? Heard from a friend from a friend….
The amount of shade thrown in this video could probably be traded on a commodity exchange
gotta love Irish tongue in cheek
The McLaren burn tho…lol
Patrick Boyle, Coffeezilla, James Jani, and The Plain Bagel are the most down to earth channels I've found. They seem to enjoy what they do whether it's little tidbits of finance news or full on scam analysis regarding finances, etc. As far as I can tell they are honest to the realities and share that with their viewers without asking for much in return. Great channel and coverage Patrick!!!
It's like you can do any crime as long as you are wearing a shirt saying "this is not a crime"
Comedy, Sarcasm, Advice on "not financial advice"
Love the content
I feel like we should play " you laugh you lose " on some of these videos and post how far did we get. I dropped at "hitting Yoda with shovel in your back garden".😂
I adore your content Patrick but you can't tell me in the other video these videos aren't meant for comedy when you spent a whole minute bagging on the lambo urus!
Nice work Patrick , informative and entertaining. Not too many Tubes get to do that!
funniest guy on YT
Just shows how retarded the human race is. Who would seriously put their own hard earned money into these recommendations from kids? Oh – that’s right, it wasn’t their own money – it was stimulus checks or money that should’ve been going into rent or mortgage repayments, but that’s right, no one had to pay that for best part of the last 2 years… None of this bs works at a level worth doing unless interest rates are ZERO or negative.
Add the crypto influencer Lark Davis. Such a snake by promoting then dump his free crypto on his viewers.
I swear, if Patrick ever wants to do a big charity drive, all he needs to do is offer to roast things upon request 😂
“ Children’s movie Star Wars”Patrick I thought we could be friends
Would you ever consider yourself an influencer?
What on Earth is going on with the perspective in that picture with the church in the background??? I'm at two different heights and it's making me feel a bit…erm…sick. Quantum buildings?
Reminder: this is a finance channel.
man, i keep scrolling back to hear it again and again, pure gold.
Financial literacy is understanding why not to trust McLarens, Lambos, car wrapping, Yoda, Kevin O’Leary, Zack Morris, podcasts, and rocket emojis
That suit! That collar! Just like something from 1928. You must drive a Duesenberg.
You got to take a class on Sarcasm for the 21st Century or Sarcasm 101 or Sarcasm for Dummies 🤣🤣🤣
Jason Statham looks like he's been skipping the gym. JK great video man
Goblin slayer finally got the Goblin Gang
Great video. you've remind me of what someone once said❤ Making money is an Action, keeping money is behavior, Growing money is Knowledge. I once attended seminar and ever since then i been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth.
As a Liberian I can confirm this 🇱🇷
Love your humor!
You have to give it to Sam Bankman Fried, he did it while driving an unwrapped Toyota Corolla, and he made billions. Maybe there's a lesson in there for these petty 100 million $ wannabe scammers.
RIP Screech.
I have the distinct feeling that if Patrick has to do just a few more videos on this level of uhh.. goblin? and we will be able to witness his own personal villain arc including Boylecoin and several online courses lmao
When I look at this I think about what could happen to the like's of … Jim Cramer and acolytes ….. msm in general …
