@OaklandBallers I’m Loving this opportunity 👍🏽

[Samuel J. Wheaton @sampapas23]

Early adopters carried @thebig3 when it was a dream, not a product. Fire NFT holders stayed loyal. Now expansion moves forward & the originals are forgotten. @garyvee @ShamsCharania loyalty should go both ways. #Web3 ⁦@cloudwhite⁩ ⁦@NBAPR⁩ https://t.co/ETNSztkrKk

Bought into BIG3 vision. Promised ownership rights, input, growth. Instead? Silence. New teams sold while early supporters R ignored. Cube we believed in u. This ain’t it. @TMZ @PatMcAfeeShow @NBA ⁦@MonstersLair3HM⁩ ⁦@starplatinum_⁩ ⁦⁩ https://t.co/ETNSztkrKk

BIG3 promised ownership opportunities through Fire NFTs, then changed the game on loyal supporters. No updates. No real answers.— silence isn’t leadership. @TMZ @PatMcAfeeShow @garyvee @ShannonSharpe ⁦@NBA⁩ #BIG3NFT #Web3 ⁦@starplatinum_⁩ https://t.co/ETNSztkrKk

Ice Cube promised a league by the people, for the people. But when the money came the people who bought in early got pushed out. That’s not ownership that’s exploitation

[Samuel J. Wheaton @sampapas23]

@PatrickandPPL Disappointed to see @thebig3 shift focus to new investors while sidelining original NFT holders who helped launch this vision,we believed in ownership, not just marketing. Hoping for clarity & a return to the values that started it all @BigBoy @KTLA @cloudwhite @PatMcAfeeShow

BIG3 didn’t lose the script, they rewrote it without the people who funded the first chapter. Don’t call it miscommunication, let’s call it what it is: a walk-back.”

[love_sharpei @weefishes]

The league seems to be acting now like the tokens we purchased were ‘just nfts’, when the Big3 actually coined a new term for them: FEAT, or Forever Experience Action Token. They stressed ownership at the Fire level a lot. My lanyards from games say ‘owner’.

This wasn’t a breakdown in communication, it was a break in commitment. BIG3 made promises to NFT holders, then quietly walked away when it no longer served them.

[Samuel J. Wheaton @sampapas23]

@joe4deadcat @BIG3Ownership @thearena @thebig3 Let’s be clear, it wasn’t miscommunication. The BIG3 didn’t forget the NFT holders, they just backed out of the original vision they sold us. Web3 was the pitch, but bait-and-switch was the play.

The @BIG3Ownership NFT holders held a MASSIVE space on @thearena last night.

Over 1,200 attended! 🏀

TLDR: @thebig3 basketball league owes $16 million USD to the holders of those NFTs ($160k per token) and is not paying.

Manny promises were made when the NFTs were sold for a hefty price of $25,000 USD. 🤯

So far, the league has ignored many of those promises, including a share of profits owed.

Is this a huge scam?
Or simple miscommunication?

@jasonmdesimone @thebig3 To the new BIG3 team owners: Just know, how they treated the NFT holders is the blueprint. Invest wisely—loyalty wasn’t part of the sale.”

Web3 through @BIG3Ownership @thebig3 was supposed to bring ownership. Now it feels like we just bought expensive souvenirs.

[Jihoz.ron @Jihoz_Axie]

The nfts seemed innovative.

buy the nft, own the team and there was even a clause carving out what happened if the team was sold (nft holders paid out).

however, the league seems to be exploiting a loophole to get around the payout clause.

watching this as I own @BIG3_Trilogy NFTs alongside many members of the Axie/Ronin community.

[Jason Desimone ⚔️ @jasonmdesimone]

Incredible stage last night. Biggest awareness spread on @thebig3 controversy so far and it all happened in The Arena.

Expect many more of these to come
