I believe at this point Bro project is dead and has been taken over by Magic Newton community. I also believe @raymondspeaks account has been compromised, at least on Discord. I am not sure on chain.
For the last couple months, Ray has been acting very strange. A lot of this I believed was influence from Magic Newton which runs a cult like community.
The last few weeks things with Ray have gotten a lot stranger and he has become cocky and extremely aggressive. Making threats and other remarks that is not his typical character. The discord has been getting weird chatgpt like announcement spam with like 10-20 announcements a day making promises and threats off and on.
At this point long time supporters of the project and Ray himself started to get banned, myself included. Then these messages were put into general.
This is very typical of Discord take overs. What is strange though this has been going on for a long time now, months. By now I would have thought Ray would have reached out to me or someone at least.
He is telling his community to dump hundreds of thousands of dollars of token because they are now worthless. Outside of the utility of the token, he has a lot of outstanding obligations (loans) to various people that are long outstanding.
At this point I would not trust anything from his accounts, the discord, or any promotions being run.
About a week and a half ago, he dropped this video for his new "launch". This video is not really a promotional video but rather an AI video that is veiled threats.

I could go on, it's been a bizarre 2 months in the community. Many have started panic selling resulting in an unrecoverable snowball effect.
This likely negatively affects the following tokens:
- Bro
- LGN
- CINE
- GIFU
Be safe.
I hold the keys to @raymondspeaks . As a safety precaution, I have changed the keys, so that Ray or the hacker doesn't have access to that account.
I only have this one account though, not any of his others, like brofund or curiousraymond.
He has me blocked on Discord and I was kicked out of the Bro discord.
He was running giveaways in the city up until recently(few days ago). It has to be him, I don’t think he was hacked.
Effin A Cotton...
Thank you for your ongoing diligence.
I think he is having a breakdown. Ever since he changed BRO to The Flame it's been weird
I saw lot of commitments from raymondspeaks before the Magic Newton project was about to start, so are you saying, someone from the Magic Newton project has taken over his account ? I don't log in to Discord so did not notice all that, but I saw some heartfelt posts from him in the new Flame community, were they all fake ?
I am not 100% sure but my gut feeling it is Ray influenced by by newton and being broke owing a lot of money to people.
Wow
Who are these folks and why are they involved with this particular project
Magic Newton is a project that Ray got involved into.
I hope it's a hacker or someone from Raymond's team doing all this and not Ray himself, because that would be sad, honestly. I've only been on the server supporting the project for a few months, and this happens just when they were about to launch something new.
So... will it be time to break away from all this? 🥴
my gut is telling me it is Ray and he just lost it.
Yep, I am on the same page with you
If that's the case, then that's crazy. 🤔
Who says money doesn't change people? 🥴
What happened to people who bought BRO? Feel like another scam on HIVE...
I think the project and all assets are dead at this point. The price on all of them are like $0.000001 now.
.
This is sad. It started with Newton rug and tattoo stuff.
I've never interacted with Ray, nor been I been involved in any of these projects. Yet this sounds more like delusional thinking to me, schizophrenia perhaps, especially if it takes quite long. People can live under delusions for years.
What is this magic Newton? I never heard of that on hive
It isn't hive, it is another community he got caught up in.
Jeez, sort of scientology and stuff like that?
Woke up this morning to find I've been booted as well.
I honestly supported and believed in the vision of a growing, mutually supportive community that promotes quality writing and the arts and that rewards active involvement.
In a good game, all the players know the rules, play be the same rules, and it doesn't have a secret scoreboard.
It seems the "universe" led him instead to the desire to be a big fish in a little pond.
If there ever were any rails he's gone way off them.
yeah, it's done.
Seriously think someone needs to do a wellness check. I’m concerned for the guy. Anyone able to check on him to see if he’s ok?
I believe someone was trying.
The last 2 months have been bizarre. I was blocked and booted from Discord.
I hope Ray is ok long term. Obviously he had a lot of debts and has a history of mental health issues (that he has been pretty open about) so I have a hard time believing this is an ending to the BRO Token story.
I am going to wait for a while and see if the real Ray comes back before making any decisions.
Why I left the server a few weeks ago, something didn't feel right. What is the cult talk about? I heard him mention Newton a few times but never took the time to delve into any detail.
I believe he was trying to mimic the cult theme of Magic Newton and I think combined with his hardship, he lost his mind.
I hope someone near Ray can do a wellness check on him and his family.
I started sensing something was "off" when his YouTube channel suddenly stopped publishing (he was trying to build a following there for his psychology/life hacks videos) and now appears to be either private or completely gone.
The recent suff made me concerned that he'd lapsed and started drinking again. But what you're describing sounds more cultish... like a "Bitconnect meets Landmark Forum" sort of thing.
That's good
It's a shame. Until now, LGN was one of the more reliable dividend-issuing side chain tokens.
and this is why you just keep your own tokens lol
Me dumping my GIFU tokens..
Jesus Christ dude.. what in the actual fuck is going on? I have been gone for a few months.. I peek in and this is what I see 😖
he stopped taking his meds
Welcome back.. lol
🤣 I guess so lol!
