Now, H3H3\u2019s Ethan Klein has let his thoughts be known. On July 1, FaZe Clan took action and removed Kay, as well as suspending Jarvis, Teeqo and Nikan regarding a \u2018pump and dump\u2019 crypto scam with an altcoin called Save The Kids. Banks revealed that he took the decision to hand out the suspensions, but has since spent a lot of time batting away accusations levied against himself. He\u2019s remained insistent that he has never taken part in any \u2018pump and dump\u2019 or \u2018rug pull\u2019 crypto schemes, but many aren\u2019t convinced \u2014 including Klein. Ethan Klein is never one to shy away from controversy and, even with the split of his Frenemies podcast with Trisha Paytas, still has a lot to say on the influencer culture surrounding him. \u201cI don\u2019t think that\u2019s going to hold up in court, kid,\u201d Ethan said of a Banks tweet, in which he was giving away $10k and said that his promotion of the Banksocial coin was \u201cnot financial advice.\u201d He continued: \u201cIt\u2019s easy to be successful when you\u2019re just stealing money from your fans. I don\u2019t know if I would call that success, though. I mean, I\u2019m not worried about the FBI arresting me for fraud.\u201d H3H3&#8217;s Ethan Klein remains suspicious of FaZe Banks involvement in a possible crypto pump and dump. &#8220;&#8221;I don&#8217;t think that is going to hold up in court&#8221;&#8221;https:\/\/t.co\/a27dcRhrZs \u2014 Dexerto (@Dexerto) July 9, 2021 The suspended or removed FaZe members have not yet responded, with legal implications of the incident still not entirely certain. While Klein suggests that the FBI could end up involved with Banks and the other FaZe Clan members, it\u2019s unclear what exactly is likely to happen. Needless to say, Ethan isn\u2019t impressed with what\u2019s gone down, and is expecting to see more action taken before the controversy is over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethan Klein blasts FaZe Banks over alleged crypto scam: \u2018You\u2019re stealing from fans\u2019 YouTube: Banks, H3H3FaZe Clan became embroiled in a huge cryptocurrency controversy throughout July 2021, and it has raised a number of questions over co-owner FaZe Banks.
