A guy threatened to take down my Instagram.
He spam reported my wife first. (@)miliyahhh
Her account got restricted.
Then he messaged me:
āNext is you bitch.ā
Today my account (@)stevemurraaay got restricted too.
I have screenshots of everything.
The threats. The fake copyright claims. The reports. The completely useless conversations with Meta support.
He literally told me what he was going to do, then it happened.
I donāt know how heās able to get accounts taken down this easily, but this is insane.
If you know ANYONE at Meta or Instagram, please send them this.
And please repost this until someone at Meta actually sees it.
I just want my account and my wifeās account back.
Day 31 of posting every day until I make my $40m back.
Yesterday, I posted a video explaining why I believe Vlad scammed me out of thousands of dollars.
The video was performing well. Then it was removed following a copyright complaint from him that I believe was false.
Since then, Iāve been threatened with a defamation claim. One of his team members also threatened to report me to the embassy with a completely false allegation that Iām selling drugs.
It looks like an attempt to scare me into silence.
It wonāt work.
Other people have now contacted me claiming theyāve had similar experiences with him. Iām investigating everything, but I wonāt publish anything until I can verify it properly.
Iāll keep documenting what happened, preserving the evidence and pursuing it through the proper channels.
Please share this so more people know whatās happening.
Do not threaten or harass anyone. Just help me keep the facts public.
I forgot how depressing meme coins can be.
The token someone created on Friday reached an $800,000 market cap, crashed to around $20,000, climbed back to $150,000 and is now stuck below $100,000.
Some meme coins reach billions. Most disappear.
I have no idea which way this one goes, but watching it is emotional damage.
Iām not telling anyone to buy. Iām just sharing the madness as it happens.
So Iāve been buying back Bezoge with the fees directed to me. Iām going to keep doing so. 50% of all fees Iāll use to buy back and burn. š„
Not my project, but it brings back good memories. ā¤ļø

Day 7 of rebuilding after losing $40m.
One week down. Today, I want to hear your wins.
It can be big or small. Business, family, health, anything. Just tell me one thing that went right this week.
My win was finally sharing the story I had been hiding for years.
In seven days, these videos have been watched more than 125,000 times. But the real win was pressing post and seeing how many people connected with what I went through.
I want to do this every Sunday.
Share your win in the comments, then reply to someone else and celebrate theirs.
Day 6 of rebuilding after losing $40m.
People keep asking why I didnāt take profit.
I did. Just nowhere near enough.
The real mistake was living like the millions on my screen were already in the bank. I spent money on stupid things instead of living within my actual means.
Now the money is gone, and honestly, my life isnāt worse.
I got married. I have a son starting school next week. Iām just as happy now, if not happier.
Money removes stress. It gives you options. But it isnāt the reason youāre happy.
Iāll start sharing TieraVPNās real numbers and progress every few days too. Revenue, users, app updates, everything.
What do you want me to talk about next?
Day 5 of rebuilding after losing $40m.
The best thing I did after losing everything was start again immediately.
I wanted to take a year off. A friend came to my house, sat on my sofa and told me that was a terrible idea.
āStart something new today.ā
So I did.
The next business hasnāt worked out yet, but starting it gave me something to focus on. I was too busy building, raising money and paying the bills to sit around feeling sorry for myself.
People also keep asking why Iāve set such a ridiculous goal.
Because Iāve made $40m once. I believe I can do it again.
If youāre going through something difficult, donāt wait until you feel ready. Start the next thing.
Share this with someone who needs to hear it.
If you've run a business and you can now build, you're worth more than a specialist who has never done either.
Not a technical claim. Specialists sit in silos. Generalists see sales, marketing, product and the customer at once, and can now build what they see.
Day 4 of rebuilding after losing $40m.
This page isnāt about views, followers or making people feel sorry for me.
Iām sharing what happened because losing everything can mess with your head. I want to show that you can take the hit, get back up and rebuild.
I also want to hear your story. What have you been through? What are you building now?
And somehow, after only three days of posting, someone watching this series bought a TieraVPN subscription.
Our first customer from this content.
One person might not sound like much, but it proved the point. Sharing the journey is already making a difference.
See you tomorrow.
Day 3 of rebuilding after losing $40m.
For years, I thought the best product would win.
I obsessed over features, design and performance. The product kept getting better, but most people had no idea it existed.
Then I helped build a meme coin that reached a $1.6B market cap. The biggest lesson had nothing to do with the product.
People cared because they felt part of it.
Talk about what youāre building. Share the story. Bring people along.
You can build something incredible, but if nobody knows it exists, nobody will use it.
Steve Murray retweeted
In 2019 I left @insta360 before the IPO. Gave up my shares to go and do my own thing.
5 years later they listed at $9.9B.
Since then I've started 4 businesses. None of them worked. It's embarrassing how many times I've failed at this.
My mum still asks me every time I see her. "Are ye a millionaire yet?"
She only asks because I keep telling her I will be.
This is the 5th attempt.
Vibe coding has a reputation for slop. Fair, when nobody involved understands what's being built.
We understand what we're building, which lets us decide what to hand to AI and review what comes back with any confidence. The code writing is outsourced. The judgement isn't.
I made $40 million dollars, then lost it all. Now Iām starting again.
This is the story of what happened, what it taught me, and why Iām starting again from zero.
Iām documenting the rebuild, honestly and in public.
Come along for the ride. ā¤ļø
