Well, I would never buy into the passport thing. Government is a scam so why get papers for another scam when you are involved in one scam would be logic. And, as I understand it, should be Jeff's logic also.

However, I have bought a TDV subscription for 3 months (which to be fair was pricy, but I saw it as an investment) but overall I have the feeling that I got my money's worth out of it. It was my introduction to the crypto-space and I do not feel scammed. In fact, it helped me open my eyes to the possibilities of crypto. Could I have gotten that info for free? Maybe. Could I have found better info? Maybe?

The newsletters were short but I looked forward to reading them, so TDV seems to be a legit business. More or less.

The other stuff seems pretty fishy though. Or incredibly naive. One of the two. I hope he stays away from that kind of mischief in the future. His conference also seems to be legit. I have no clue and I have not been there, but it seems to me that he got better compared to the past.

As a closing remark; I would be pissed if I had invested in the passport thing, but personally I do not have a problem with Jeff.
I admit I am biased here, because I do not want to dislike him.
All in all, I say I am going to do more background research in the future and be more careful with my money.

Jeff was in the wrong after further research.

@geneeverett - additional research after you wrote this article?

IF yes, can you update us?

Thanks
