Popular internet personality MrBeast is under the spotlight over his involvement in cryptocurrency projects, with allegations of potential insider trading. A new investigation by Loock.io tracks his association with over 50 cryptocurrency wallets and cites on-chain activities that pointed out insider trading and misleading investors.
The investigation shed light on MrBeast’s connections to several crypto projects, such as SuperVerse, ERN, Refinable, and SHOPX. It raises concerns that the youtuber may have used his influence to promote these cryptocurrencies while potentially engaging in insider trading for personal gain.
