(Also culpable here are websites like Forbes, Yahoo Finance and Bloomberg, which carry press releases without doing any homework on what they are. I've seen countless example like this, complete scams, with links like this to make them appear credible.)
It's unfair to single out Pogba. Countless other top players have promoted scams which empty the pockets of football fans in places like Turkey, and enrich wealthy athletes and teams. John Terry is another (who also never responded to request for comment.) https://t.co/eeXrCgSzDj
Pogba seemingly paid to promote the scheme given the use of "#ad" in his tweets. He did not respond to request for comment. There is no suggestion he was involved in the scam, merely paid to promote it.
But it was a complete scam:
These schemes are particularly popular in Turkey where the economy is on its knees and inflation is running wild so people are attracted to get-rich-quick schemes.
While this stuff might seem absurd in the UK, in parts of the world it can seem attractive. https://t.co/4gR5z1En0V
It's really hard to get people to speak openly about losing money on crypto because it's embarrassing. Berat Kurnaz was brave enough to do so. He was told by his cousin it would be a good investment. But it was a disaster.
I've reported a lot on football's embrace of crypto which has seen a vast wealth transfer from football fans to rich athletes and clubs.
It all often feels a bit abstract - downward squiggles on graphs - but has had devastating human consequences. https://t.co/RvXqVIEHe9
🚨Exclusive: in Istanbul I interviewed a Turkish motorcycle courier who lost three months' wages on an NFT scheme promoted by Paul Pogba, one of the world's most famous footballers.
“I can’t buy anything. I can’t do anything. I’m just working, working.”
