I wouldn't say he was a prominent bitcoiner exactly. He did a podcast that was popular with people wanting to get rich, basically. I think it was around 2016-2017 he got popular. Basically the classic con man personality, got a lot of gullible and greedy people interested in him. Then launched various projects and eventually a scamcoin/"investment" whatever you choose to call it.
Very different type than the Craig Wright type scammer. Both "con men" but Richard Heart the significantly more subtle type: plays on people believing confidence yeah, but doesn't just shout outright lies to try to win by brazenness, just keeps appealing, with persuasive words, to people's base greed and need for a guru. Well, this was 2017ish. IIRC years later it became more and more kind of clownish performance art.
