Scabs that are hard to remove…

Pretty much Robert’s life unfortunately… sigh.

Then 😔…

Later …

Would it have made any difference later on? Doubt it… same result.

it seems unfair to be "ohhh, you fell for that scam about becoming a lord!" when pees refer to Established Titles

Here's the fuking bundle package

What it kind of sounded like, from someone who is poor but said "ok, whatever" and didn't get involved. Because poor.

The concept behind it sounded similar to those "adopt an animal" you can buy into with the zoo and animal conservation. You buy this living nft and get a 'certification' which states you adopted a creature, but you just fund the animal - with its species - the real world efforts for conservation, funding, breeding, captivity, wild releases, merch and awareness, and all that stuff.

Scott Shafer [the video] does delve into the laws of Scottland regarding land ownership and the official titles attached. Again, its not like anyone wanted to get a placard and suddenly it magically made them "Lord" or "Lady" - go get an official name change. Call yourself Sir Spencer.

But it seemed like a cutesy gimmick, here's your waving stick and an official hat. "You're a hazard, Harry" bit. Due to non-residential status, no one beyond citizenship with Scottland was actually buying land nor becoming legit figures with status. People saw "Save trees and get a participation trophy" and they bought into it. Hell, they bought plots for their pets. People trusted these youtubers, the the youtubers trusted the sponsorship channels which screened these sort of 'conservation' projects.

And the way it seemed set up, which might could have worked - but lets not forget stuff like taxes and other recurring expenses - it seemed legit that a conservation team bought a parcel or acreage of land, then divided the costs while factoring in manufacturing certification plaques, the cost of land, among other expenses. And plant a tree. While people OUT OF COUNTRY are no the wiser to value and exchange of land in Scottland, are simply assured that they have invested in the purchase of an acreage which would thus be protected by the company that made the purchase on their behalf.

Another problem was that the people donating to this false effort scam, was that they do already donate to other forestry conservation efforts as well. The certification was an enticing gimmick. Don't some conservationists sell organic and/or biodegradable Tshirts to help with conservation?

People are chuckling saying, "Yall thought you were gonna be an official lord or laddy" is aside from the issue here, and a moot point. This was an elaborate scam, that youtube did turn its back on because dollar signs in the eyes. From an nonnative to Scottland, it seemed plausible. Hell, I don't even know a listing of the conservation efforts here in America - the only one I know about is using human bodies to fertilize and rebuild forests.

Established Titles seemed like your typical gimmick conservation effort to protect land plots from development. Some youtubers did do research into the validity of the sponsorship deal, not all, but responsible youtubers did do their homework and had communications with their teams to verify if this was a legit, and that the funds channeled in would be used responsibly.

What probably won people over was the idea that this was a purchase for environmental conservation, it preyed upon peoples good intentions, and it involved an intangible asset - the plot of land.

And this sort of scandal does make people less likely to spend money on legit conservation projects. It's already impossible to insure your charity funds are being utilized optimally by those you donate to, and this long-lived scandal is in words, heart breaking. It was a lot of time and effort wasted for nothing gained. As well, the whole prospect of "you really need to do more research before donating" is such bullshit.

Never thought I’d be happy to say that I never thirsted nor understood the hype for Kyland and now with all this information that has come out tonight... I send my condolences to y’all
