【Thought they bought OpenAI original shares, but the money ended up being spent at nightclubs 💸🍸】

The gossip from the past couple of days is a bit unbelievable. A bunch of people thought they’d bought original shares. The target is listed as OpenAI and SpaceX. In the end, the money went to nightclubs, malls, and Amazon. The SEC opened two cases yesterday. The scheme is almost identical. 💸

The first main character is Owen Meyer, 35. The fund he managed collected money from nearly 100 investors—at least $18.5 million—under the banner of original shares. After digging in, at least $1.27 million was misappropriated. One night, he spent $18,000 at a nightclub. At 4:41 a.m., he tried to use his card—declined twice. 🍸

After the card was declined, he transferred $10,000 from the fund account. Four minutes later, the nightclub bill was paid. The memo said movie tickets and theater performances. He also transferred another $10,000 to the nightclub manager. When questioned by the SEC, he invoked the Fifth Amendment. Later, the money was returned to the investors, recorded as an interest-free loan. 🤡

The second case is even more ruthless—they specifically went after veterans. Two young men opened an investment company. Their promotional materials claimed SpaceX and xAI. But they had not a single share. They even used a crypto exchange as a filler. The promised net return was 153%. Thirty-five investors were defrauded out of more than $8.7 million. 🚨

They also even created and sent their own account statements. A couple of young retirees invested $750,000. The statement claimed the amount had risen to $4.1 million. That fund lost money for 13 of the 14 months. With nearly $6 million raised, half was not invested in the target at all. The rest was lost trading options—and some people even moved money around to fund a documentary. 📄

“The words ‘original shares’ carry a built-in magic. ” Crypto circles are the same—there’s always someone selling “early allocations.” Initial public offering slots, whitelist access, and internal shares—the scripts are pretty much identical. The bigger the star projects, the easier they are to use as a prop. Once the money leaves the account, someone else gets to decide. If you really want to allocate funds, ask first: where is the money being held in escrow? 🔍

📌 The SEC opened two cases in a row: the “original shares” you can’t get hold of are the ones you must check who controls the money.
