They really should charge more of these celebrities for endorsing pyramid schemes.

#4> with video messages of support from a clutch of celebrities released on Twitter the following month They really should charge more of these celebrities for endorsing pyramid schemes.
It is unclear how these messages of support were obtained, but all four celebrities are available to hire through the website Cameo, which allows people to pay high-profile individuals to read out a script for them, for anything from a birthday greeting to a business marketing video.
The Norris “shout out” to HyperVerse states that “under the leadership of CEO Steven, HyperVerse will be the leader of metaverse space”.
Wozniak said: “I’m here to support Steven and HyperVerse”, and “I can’t wait for the HyperVerse”.
Norton described HyperVerse as a “decentralised metaverse platform with infinite possibilities” and encouraged people to sign up. “I strongly believe Steven will lead HyperVerse to success. Let’s all join the HyperVerse. What are you waiting for? Do it now.”
The video messages of support were released in January 2022 as HyperVerse was ramping up its global recruitment drive.
Guardian Australia contacted Wozniak, Norris, Norton and Bass for comment, but received no reply. There is no suggestion they had any knowledge of HyperVerse’s business model when filming the messages of support and they make no reference to money or investments.

#5The article portrays this as a negative, but all I'm seeing is an innovative way to save on sky-high CEO cost. We've always dreamed of operating without and now we have, it seems like exactly the opposite reaction.

Also reminds me of ‘Onecoin’ - similar ‘nation’ framing and mysterious leaders.
There’s a good BBC podcast series about it, “The Missing Crypto Queen”: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07nkd84/episodes/downloads

#7The first giveaway that this is a scam (beyond the Chuck Norris 'celebrity' endorsement) is that a GS exec of any competence wouldn't be wasting time chasing the crowdfunded civilian dollar while ZIRP money was flying around the usual traditional finance channels (pension fund, PE and HF investments).

Exactly, since when does a CEO in a Hyperverse company need to exist in this universe? It is enough if he/she/it exists in some other timeline and can be leveraged across the Multiverse. Clearly just another attempt to badmouth crypto.

Why would anyone actually expect for any crypto company not to be a total scam, and for any of the people running it actually using their real names in the first place, or even exist?
