More than a little hypocritical to complain about crypto scams, when he himself created this "cheap eth" coin, gave himself a bajillion coins in the fork code without telling anyone, and then started shilling it in his stream.
Did you hear about the startup founder who gave themselves a bajillion shares of their company? Now, if I dumped into entry liquidity SPAC style...that's a different story. But please be more precise in your criticism, I'm not sure you are criticizing what you think you are.
I've followed many of these streams and this at least started out as a research project. If you watch the recorded streams on YouTube on CheapETH it's clear this is not meant to be a serious project of any kind.
I don't see this as affecting his integrity on any level.
