Why do Johnny Dang, Khoa Pug, ViruSs allegedly mislead investors?

The friendship of Khoa Pug and Johnny Dang has been broken now. However, the comments and actions have been allegedly misleading investors for Diamond Boyz Coin (DBZ) – the crypto developed by the “golden king”.

Above all, from June to October, Khoa Pug was very close to Johnny Dang. In the (now deleted) videos, Johnny Dang and Khoa Pug have repeatedly mentioned the DBZ coin. Even in one video, Khoa Pug “showed off” that he owned 10 million VND of DBZ with a value of billions of VND.

Khoa Pug and Johnny Dang allegedly misled investors for the Diamond Boyz Coin (DBZ) – the coin of “golden king”.

Consequently, Khoa Pug was criticized for misleading investors to join Johnny Dang’s cryptocurrency project. Thus, in the post on Oct 7, Khoa Pug explained that he only supported Johnny Dang. He said that it was not a problem to lose 10 billion VND (nearly 45,000 USD) to maintain the relationship.

Khoa Pug also repeatedly emphasized that he does not support, call or convince people to invest in cryptocurrencies in general and DBZ in particular. “I am responsible for what I invest in. All profits and losses are mines,” Khoa Pug affirmed.

According to many investors, Diamond Boyz Coin is still a risky token and easily acquired by investors. Moreover, you can only buy and sell it on exchanges, including DeFi, Bibox, Pancake Swap, etc. The transaction is also a complex process.

On the project homepage, the DBZ coin also claims to be a risky project and users are solely responsible for their own financial investment decisions.

Another recent celebrity who allegedly misled investors is ViruSs streamer. A few days ago, businessman Zet Under – an experienced and well-known investor in Vietnam, once left a comment under ViruSs’ video: “With less than 3 months of experience trading in the market but he has mislead others”

ViruSs joined an online event to answer community questions about the I.P blockchain project.

This comment was made by businessman Zet Under when ViruSs actively shares his experiences on crypto investment on his TikTok channel with more than 1.6 million followers.

In response to this comment, ViruSs posted a video to say that he respects Zet Under because of his in-depth financial and investment knowledge. However, the businessman’s behavior made him upset.

VirusSs advises Zet Under to rethink and change. In addition, the male streamer also affirmed that he does not have to prove when and how long he has joined the cryptocurrency market before the businessman.

Recently, I.P – a blockchain project that has been introduced and promoted by ViruSs on live stream, has been warned by Lawyer Ha. This lawyer, who has more than 2.1 million followers on TikTok, warns that the project is a gambling game in disguise.
