Ex FaZe member Kay warns influencers to stay away from crypto after Save the Kids scandal YouTube: DEXERTO OriginalsFormer FaZe Clan member Frazier \u2018Kay\u2019 Khattri has put out a stark warning to other content creators and influencers, advising them to stay away from crypto or risk facing a similar backlash to him. In 2021, Kay and brother Jarvis, alongside several other FaZe members and associates, came under fire for their involvement the \u2018Save the Kids\u2019 crypto controversy, a new token that was posed as a charitable venture. The scheme was exposed as a \u2018pump and dump\u2019, with many of the influencers involved immediately selling off either all of their tokens, or a large majority of them, in an attempt to make a quick profit. Since then, Kay and Jarvis both lost their roles in FaZe Clan and have returned to the UK \u2014 and Kay has given a warning to influencers who could end up following in his footsteps. During an interview with Dexerto Originals, Kay spoke at length about the drama surrounding him and the damage it caused, even saying that he\u2019s paid up to $400-500k back to people who lost money on Save the Kids. Asked about other influencers\u2019 involvement in crypto, Kay said: \u201cI see so many of them. I still see them all online and I\u2019m just thinking, I really wish I could reach out and help these guys and tell them to take a step back for a second. \u201cGo see your mom, just have her remind you who you are as a person, because just like me, suddenly these influencers get thrown into a crazy life, crazy amounts of money, crazy amounts of responsibility, and you want more obviously \u2026 I would advise all influencers to just stay away from crypto, in my opinion. It\u2019s too soon, it\u2019s not fully developed.\u201d Timestamp 16:56 He went on to add that he \u201cstill sees influencers talking about crypto, just in a different way,\u201d adding that he \u201cwishes he could tell them to stop.\u201d It\u2019s unlikely that we see influencers step away from the crypto space completely, but there will no doubt be many that see what happened with Kay, and how that situation blew up, and think twice before promoting an altcoin or crypto scheme \u2014 and that\u2019s exactly what he wants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
