It turns out that Ray D’Arcy won’t make you rich.
Ray D’Arcy has rubbished reports that he has invested large sums of money in cryptocurrency after rumours regarding his investments spread earlier this week.
The RTÉ presenter used his radio show to strongly deny the rumours saying that they’re simply not true.
D’Arcy spoke about the false rumours, and also how dangerous the companies are, stating: “That’s fake news, and I’ve talked about it at length here and said that we need to take the big technological companies to task.
“They’ve far too much power and they’re not really taking the responsibility serious.”
A number of Facebook posts emerged during the week that claimed that Ray D’Arcy had invested €5 million into Bitcoin, the popular cryptocurrency.
One of the Facebook posts claims that D’Arcy has invested millions in the cryptocurrency and that he also owns a mining business, it promises a business opportunity to make you rich if you were born between certain years.
One of the fake posts reads: “In a recent interview with Forbes, Ray D’Arcy revealed that more than half of his business income for 2017 came from investing in one Bitcoin system. His Bitcoin profits reportedly exceeded revenue from his hugely successful mining company.
“It’s a controversial investment because the world banking community doesn’t want the average worker to have access to this much wealth outside of the system. They literally hate me for investing in this, but they’ll hate me even more for bringing it to everyone’s attention.”
