According to the website’s operator, a broker with headquarters in Texas and a founding date of 2020, cryptocurrency mining investments provide investors “the chance to obtain a 100% passive income from investment.”
It uses the wrong names for two regulators and claims the broker is regulated in the US, UK, Cyprus, and South Africa while including ostensibly positive client testimonials. In contrast to Buffett’s firm, it uses a different email format. Buffett has always been dubious about cryptocurrencies and referred to bitcoin as “rat poison squared” in 2018. Buffett’s business said in a statement that it discovered the berkshirehathawaytx.com website on Friday afternoon. The owner of this site domain “has no association with Warren E. Buffett, Chairman, and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.,” according to Berkshire.
Requests for comments were not immediately answered by the website’s owner. Since 1965, Buffett has been the company’s president and CEO. The conglomerate, which is located in Omaha, Nebraska, controls a number of businesses, such as the BNSF railroad and the Geico car insurance, and as of September 30, it had more than $306 billion in equity. Recently, there has been increased scrutiny of cryptocurrencies.
This week, U.S. cryptocurrency investors filed a lawsuit against FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried and a number of celebrities who supported his exchange, including NFL quarterback Tom Brady and comedian Larry David. The investors claimed that the celebrities used dishonest sales tactics to promote yield-bearing FTX accounts. As a result of reports that $10 billion in customer assets were transferred from FTX to Bankman-Fried’s trading firm Alameda Research, FTX filed for bankruptcy and is now under investigation by American authorities.
