DURHAM, N.C. — Kenneth Nicholson is very involved in the cryptocurrency world. He even has a YouTube channel breaking down ways to invest.
“I started to create videos about cryptocurrency and launch my own exchange on cryptocurrency,” the Durham, North Carolina, resident said.
Nicholson says it’s not unusual for him to be contacted by people wanting to discuss cryptocurrency. The original contact, he says, came through a DM on social media, and their conversations continued for several days. He adds, “They lured me in through a few days of conversation and detailed questions.” After many messages back and forth, Nicholson says, “They just wanted a meeting to discuss this tech. So, it was just a meeting.”
