      I think Kevin lives in a parallel universe with Scam Bankman – Fraud. Still waiting for a logical response to the due diligence performed by Kevin's team.

      A guy using his image to promote a platform without doing his due diligence? Is there anything else he promotes he hasn't done homework on, how do you trust him or anyone for that matter? How can you do your due diligence with no data?

      Kevin is a bad investor and is delusional if he think he can find all the money when ftx has so bad records!!! Sam already admitted that he pool everyone money together and not separate risk based on their agreement, that’s fraud!!!

      Look at these tv hosts playing smart kids asking tough questions like judges after everything already happened..they should have interrogating to Kevin like this before not now ..?? Media should be vigilant before not after ..because afterwards it’s the law who takes over nor Andrew from cnbc.

      Becky Quick is sharp as a tack. Years of interviewing Buffett and Munger have rubbed off on her huge. They are ingrained in her head for all of us to benefit.

      This is what ends up happening when someone calls himself Mr wonderful and touts himself as the most intelligent and righteous person on earth, everyone else as bozos Karma bites back who's the biggest Bozo on earth now?! 🤡

      There is a difference between a PAID pumpers like Matt Damon, Tom Brady, Kim Kardashian ,Mike Tyson….. verses O'Leary who is financially astute and giving financial recommendations daily pumping FTX on CNBC. He should be held accountable for many who lost everything based on his daily commentary IMO

      He lost nothing, probably came out ahead by millions, while everything he preached incessantly came crashing down and ruined many lives IMO

      I feel for him. It’s a story of one con conning another. How can a con say I was conned? He can’t. Instead he says he’s joining a committee to find the truth.

      One aspect that Kevin has failed to address – in all of his recent interviews – is how the FTX crash has affected the average investor that isn't a millionaire and that took advice from Kevin O'Leary. To me, it shows a complete lack of empathy.

    38. ACE GOLFMAN on

      He said originally that crypto was useless, which it is, and then all of a sudden he's into crypto. 15 Million in his pocket as a Paid Pumper as we now find out quickly changed his side

    39. Me Me on

      Ohhhhh Leary 😂 exposing himself a little too much here. He is referring to no data 😂😂😂 excuses. 8 billion hoe….you don’t know 😂😂😂 I mean come on

      Glad to see people are finally understanding what a moron Kevin is. He's just the luckiest sleaziest used car salesman. He'll peddle the shadiest stuff , like cmon bruh, you dont need the money, at least have a shred of decency.

      It's pathetic.

    45. ACE GOLFMAN on

      hahaha. …Kevin O'leary talking with SBF will lead the internal investigation LOL. Now that will really be impartial, won't it? Like Enron compliance con men leading the Enron investigation.

      He already said he supports SBF and would invest again. He can't bring this bias to the investigation. I wouldn't let O'leary anywhere near the investigation IMO
