It sounds like an exaggeration, until you remember that "Human Trafficking Coin" is not an one-off suggestion, it's a category that keeps coming up, and the only things cryptocurrencies have been good for is killing bitcoiners, money laundering and wasting resources.

https://www.chepicap.com/en/news/171/chinese-student.html posted:

A Chinese college student has set a sobering example of how not to handle crypto trading after being discovered in a Cambodian resort, fleeing mounting debt.

The student who is in his 20s lost over $23,000 trading cryptocurrencies, taking out loans and selling all of his belongings in an effort to recoup his losses.

Liu Ke discovered cryptocurrencies in late 2017 when the market was skyrocketing in value, with much excitement among the community. After some brief initial success that earned him around $300, he began trading in Bitcoin futures on OKEx, investing $15,000 despite only having $1000 in his account.

By February 2018 he had borrowed over $6,000 and inevsted his college tuition money worth $1500 as well. After incurring debts of $23,000 the student fled to Cambodia where he tried to make money gambling and submitting himself to human drug testing research. His brief journey through the world of crypto trading should be taken as a cautionary tale for anyone getting too carried away - FOMO is a hell of a drug!

p. much. dude has two cash cows (rakuten marketing and rakuten ichiba) stapled to the side of his conglomerate, and he's one of the richest ppl in glorious nippon, but he has a severe, like planet-sized, case of inferiority complex. he's not smart enough to take rakuten any further than where it is now, unlike your jeff bezos or satya nutella, but he desperately wants to show that he's the smartest boy in japanese tech, so he basically set up a system of firehoses inside the company that spray cash at every fad that crosses his desk and has at least one non-japanese person somewhere in the world on record as saying "boy howdy <this tech> is going to be big!"

dude needs to take his cash, sell his comapny, let someone competent run it, and go set up an incubator somewhere so he can play at being a venture crapitalist
