FTX spokesperson Kevin O'Leary is a staunch denfender of the cryptocurrency industry, but in 2019 he trashed it, calling Bitcoin 'worthless' and 'garbage.'

WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 14: Investor and television personality Kevin O’Leary testifies during a hearing before Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee at Dirksen Senate Office Building December 14, 2022 on Capitol Hill in Washington,

"In 2017, I was a public critic and skeptic of crypto and blockchain technology. After observing the extraordinary advances in these technologies and watching the amount of intellectual capital that was being invested in them and the innovation they were producing, I completely reversed my position," he said. "I am now of the opinion that crypto, blockchain technology and digital payment systems will be the twelfth sector of the S&P within a decade.

Kevin O'Leary, the guy who cooked the books at The Learning Company and sold a falsely overvalued company to Mattel. Should have gone to the slammer for falsifying the books.

When he wrote off his losses, taxpayers made him whole again. kevinolearytv says he earned it. Lol.

I had to look up that this new word “spox” means spokesperson and that makes me want to strangle someone.

Money talks!

This man is a scammer

O'Leary has zero credibility on anything other than grifting those who don't understand finance. It's his shtick. His mutual funds' high mgmt fees are his way of slowing clawing money from those who don't know better. And he's thrilled about it.

In a world full of Mr. Wonderful’s be a Mark Cuban.

Hang on, I saw him on CNBC last week saying that FTX cost him $15million, but that he never took anything from them. Do I misremember?

with those glasses it looks like his pronouns are 'Sally Jessy' O'leary

sue Kevin O'Leary sue Kevin O'Leary sue Kevin O'Leary sue Kevin O'Leary

And is all gone so what's the problem ?

Wow! Mr. Wonderful now is Mr. Awful now.

How much did Brady and Giselle get?

Gibberish. Is there a sentence there?
