Mansion
Bryan purchased a large 3.5 million dollar mansion at 8441 Magnolia Drive E Hope Island after thousands of scamming people.
2023 Investigations by Multiple Online Investigators
Multiple YouTube personalities profiled Bryan, most notably scam investigator Coffeezilla.[4][1][5][6] Bryan is yet to responded with a video of his own, having deleted all content from his online social media platforms after the release of Coffeezilla's investigation.
No activity has been seen from Bryan in the cryptocurrency industry after Coffezilla's publication "Scammer BEGGED Me Not to Investigate". Bryan is estimated to have taken a total of ~$40M dollars from investors.
It is believed that the stolen funds were used to purchase a large $3.5M property in 8441 Magnolia Drive E Hope Island, Queensland[7] in early October 2022[8] where Australian comedian, entertainer and investigator Jordan Shanks-Markovina (aka. friendlyjordies) attempted to interview Bryan[4].
Wikipedia, WikiAlpha, Self-Written Misleading Articles and Online Music Career
In Early 2023, Bryan under his online alias of "Bryzieb" which he had previously used for creating Smule singing videos such as a performance of Take Me Home, Country Roads with LucyRohy, Born to be wild with Andy UK, Born to e wild with Thats_Cosmic, solo performance of Lady In Red, solo performance of Struck on You, Pony with helenByers50, I'm gonna be 500 miles with MelLoveArt, a solo performance of I'm gonna be 500 Miles, and a solo performance of Achy Breaky Heart.
Bryan, or "Bryzieb" created false Wikipedia and WikiAlpha pages which intended to attract keen investors into his cryptocurrency scams through the false information presented which presented him as a notable and reputable investor, which has ultimately been disproved[1][5].
His strategy with regard to his online presence was to either pay for online articles to be created about him, or alternatively find reputable publishers with self-written community article features and create a false narrative as these articles have minimal editorial oversight, and are is generally unreliable[9].
Bryan would then use these paid for or self-written articles in an attempt to validate the false information presented on his pages, where it went unnoticed on WikiAlpha for numerous months. Bryzie attempted to alter any modifications made by third parties which would represent him in a truer form, however he has given up despite harassing community members[10].
Bryan's Wikipedia page on the other hand was deleted due to the discovery of the sources being self-written articles created by Bryan and ultimately been deemed as a promotional piece created by himself[11].
Response to Early Criticism on Reddit in 2022
In 2022, Bryan and his cryptocurrency projects began receiving early criticism and skepticism regarding their legitimacy on the Reddit website due to his past.[12] Bryan, or his agents, filed a defamation complaint over one of those Reddit pages[13].
Bryan's complaints had been sent to Google prior to popular and widely accepted investigations released to YouTube in 2023[4][1][5][6] and therefore the claim was accepted by Google.
Gambling Career
Like cryptocurrency, Bryan once had a career in professional gambling however the deletion of information has made information on this past of his difficult to find.
