In July 2019, Roubini already criticized the second largest cryptocurrency by capitalization. Then he stated that ICO Ethereum was “a scam aimed at lining the pockets of a small group of insiders, including Vitalik Buterin.”
The Ethereum ICO was just a scam aimed at filling the pockets of a small group of insiders including @VitalikButerin. This was no ordinary/fair sale. And the scam was also aimed at pretending that Ether isn’t a security while it is obviously one. Crypto is the mother of all scams https://t.co/7eh3ggDK89
