Title: Mike Tyson Bitcoin ATM Hit With Scam Accusations Post by: ChrisPop on July 27, 2015, 02:03:34 PM "A deal to create an official Mike Tyson-branded bitcoin ATM in Las Vegas has been dismissed as a scam due to its connection to two mysterious companies.
This weekend, the ex-heavyweight champion of the world tweeted to his 4.8 million followers that the ATM would be "Changing the way we get change". With a launch date of 30th August, the machine promised to offer cash-to-bitcoin services in under 20 seconds, 10 seconds faster than Iron Mike's knockout record." http://media.coindesk.com/2015/07/tyson-mike.jpg http://www.coindesk.com/mike-tyson-bitcoin-atm-hit-with-scam-accusations/ (http://www.coindesk.com/mike-tyson-bitcoin-atm-hit-with-scam-accusations/) Title: Re: Mike Tyson Bitcoin ATM Hit With Scam Accusations Post by: LiteCoinGuy on July 27, 2015, 03:23:44 PM http://siliconangle.com/blog/2015/07/26/mike-tyson-suckered-into-endorsing-branded-bitcoin-atms-in-potential-scam/

This was just someone telling him "there's good money here if you give your name and face" and he went for it... This will most probably end up nowhere.

Poor good ol Mike seems like it's still being used by bad people to get money off his fame. He has been doing great in paying all of his debts, so I hope he doesn't get screwed up again. He got already screwed up by mad goldiggers and Don King and his crew.

There will never be any Mike Tyson ATMs. All he has to do is ride around Vegas on his tricycle putting Tyson stickers on the existing ATMs. Job jobbed. Title: Re: Mike Tyson Bitcoin ATM Hit With Scam Accusations Post by: Mickeyb on July 27, 2015, 06:38:34 PM Nevertheless I am regreting if this turns out as a scam. We do need every bit of help for promotion and adoption out there.

This will most probably end up nowhere. as long as he is promoting bitcoin who care, 5M of new followers is a lot, almost x3 of current bitcoin users base, the price should go x3 if we follow a linear increase, but since it isn't linear it will go much higher Title: Re: Mike Tyson Bitcoin ATM Hit With Scam Accusations Post by: NorrisK on July 27, 2015, 08:04:32 PM He doesn't have a clue what he's gotten into, and still probably doesn't.

Anybody can pull a graph that shows google searches for bitcoin after this tweet? :D Title: Re: Mike Tyson Bitcoin ATM Hit With Scam Accusations Post by: The Bad Guy on July 27, 2015, 08:30:20 PM I think that they just want to make some big scams and make a big name by using Mike Tyson.. this is really weird thing you know ;)
