Shaquille O’Neal seizes the opportunity to make fun of YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul for being accused of a cryptocurrency scheme while he is at the moment embroiled in a significant FTX promotion scandal.

The former Los Angeles Lakers star participated in a similar controversial crypto scheme as well. The African proverb “When an elephant is down, even an ant will kick him” is undoubtedly true. For signing a deal with FTX that he never should have, Shaquille has been there just as Jake Paul and dealt with backlash from his fans.
