That’s shady! But shadier than the scheme is how remorseless Ice Poseidon sounded on Coffeezilla’s video. He not only didn’t seem to feel bad, admitting to screwing over every single one of his fans who invested in his bullshit CxCoin that only took him two weeks to abandon, but Ice Poseidon also said he wouldn’t return the money. He’s “looking out” for himself and blamed everyone else for “putting too much emotion into it.” For the record, CxCoin is worth nothing right now. According to cryptocurrency data analysis sites like CoinGecko and Live Coin Watch, CxCoin has tanked to $0.000000002283. But sure, it’s everyone else’s fault. That totally tracks.

“Part of the responsibility is on [the fans] as well for putting too much emotion into it,” Ice Poseidon said. “Nobody deserves [to get ripped off]. Sometimes you have to look out for yourself.”

During their chat, Ice Poseidon told Coffeezilla he could give the money back but had no intention to because he’s looking out for himself. Sometime on January 26, though, Ice Poseidon had a slight change of heart. He agreed to give $155,000 back, but Coffeezilla found out Ice Poseidon only returned $47,000. He still pocketed more than he gave back.

This entire situation sucks, and I can’t imagine losing money like this. It’s not the first time an influencer has used their clout to scam fans out of money, either. A few FaZe Clan members, including Jarvis and Kay, were caught and reprimanded for their involvement in the Save The Kids crypto scheme. Parasocial relationships are weird so be mindful of who you follow.
