O’Leary was referring to an obvious crypto rip-off “Bitcoin Way of life,” which claimed to have his approval in a promotional marketing campaign.
A bogus information article on a faux information outlet claimed that, in an interview on the Late Late Present, O’Leary shocked audiences and the host Ryan Tubridy by exhibiting how a lot cash he was making with the Bitcoin scheme — which advertises itself as an automatic buying and selling system.
Per the rip-off’s marketing campaign, it was sufficient to drive Nationwide Eire Financial institution to telephone the present, and try to cease the bit from being aired.
One downside is that the Nationwide Eire Financial institution doesn’t exist.
