WTF this even believable? He had to have help or this was a money laundering front. NZ is rife with organized crime.
>The New Zealand shooter profited from a notorious crypto pyramid scheme Member exclusive by Matthew De SilvaMarch 19, 2019 In his 74-page screed, Brenton Harrison Tarrant, the suspected New Zealand shooter, claims he invested in a cryptocurrency called BitConnect. Longtime crypto observers know BitConnect as an infamous pyramid scheme, which falsely promised a 1% daily interest payment. The project is better known for generating memes than investment returns. However, Tarrant says he profited from BitConnect’s rise and used his riches to travel the world.
Crypto is just a sliver of the New Zealand shooter’s story, but his identity as a young, uneducated man fluent in internet culture meant he was the ideal mark for an online get-rich-quick scheme like BitConnect. Less typically, it appears the shooter got in and out of BitConnect before suffering any financial harm himself.
>BitConnect was founded in 2015, per Crunchbase, and its cryptocurrency was publicly released in 2016. Little is known about the company’s founders, which include Satish Kumbhani, and Divyesh Darji, both natives of India. Some crypto watchers identified BitConnect as a scam almost from its start, but the company folded only after US state regulators served it with cease and desist letters. BitConnect closed its “lending operation”—the heart of the scheme—in January 2018, although the scam was notorious enough to warrant a mention from John Oliver. Darji, who supposedly led the company’s Asian business, was arrested in New Delhi in August and earlier this year the FBI posted a notice...
Pyramid schemes are a great way to make money as long as you get in early, scam as many people as possible, and then get the hell out.

M8s, I'm 99% sure he didn't buy bitconnect. I'm 99% sure he was trolling and they took the bait, because they couldn't fathom a guy killing 50 people wouldn't also be having a go in his manifesto. Like I said only people that got in really early could sell, IIRC everybody else was locked in for a certain period of time. Classic ponzi shit. Basically they "made" money by being locked in while Bitconnect got new investors, and further essentially lied to people as to how much their investments had appreciated. Everybody on biz understood this but I know not everybody crossposts there, so that's the quick rundown.
Ian Scott
he was also a navy seal dont'cha know
Hudson Adams
its obvious he was shitposting, anyone that read a tiny portion of the manifesto and knew half the memes would know its shitposting.
Fun factoid is bitconnect was the one crypto meme to gain traction with blacks.

>he forgot about the kind of shit niggers were saying about tron at the tail end of the bubble!
Dude fucking single black moms were buying that shit at $.08 and thought it would be worth thousands! There are 66 BILLION tron tokens in circulation for those that don't know and don't feel like looking it up.
Ryder Russell
How did he make his money then?
Aaron Jones
WE JUST KNOW HE WAS RICH!!! PROFITS ARE BAD!!!
Robert Lee
he had a lemonade stand.
Oliver Parker
Is it confirmed or did the """"""""journalist"""""""" just take the part about bitconnect in the manifesto at face value?
