    I’m wary of channel 5 after they gave their mailing list away to hunter biden’s memecoin team. I’m not a fan of that.

      I think you missed the second half of that story. Andrew posted a short video about it - that is not exactly what happened and hunter biden’s team agreed.

      I looked it up and they gave emails away to boost other projects and when this project started asked for them not to be included in crypto advertising. None of his subscribers ever received emails through his list for crypto due to this request.

      Yes, he screwed that up. I am aware of the issue and my info is in there. Whether it was intentional or not, I think Andrew made a mistake through ignorance (either that it was wrong or that he’d get caught) and he seems to be mostly owning up to it. I’d like to think he did not have ill intentions, so in light of the superlative work he and his team do I’ll let that one slide for now and move on. But I am also far too cynical to be convinced the list got deleted as promised.
