New Delhi: Indian business tycoon and Chairperson of Mahindra and Mahindra, Anand Mahindra, on Friday (November 19), dismissed all reports claiming that the billionaire has invested in cryptocurrencies.
Making the clarification on Twitter, Mahindra said that he hasn’t invested a “single rupee” in it. Along with his statement, he attached a few screen grabs claiming that the billionaire has not just invested in digital coins, but raked in the serious moolah from the investment. The claims were anything but fake news.
Moreover, the screenshots highlighted that Mahindra used the auto-trading programme Bitcoin Era to make his investments in crypto coins. Mahindra said that the news takes the “fake news” to a whole next level.
“This would be highly amusing if it wasn’t so unethical &, in fact, dangerous. Someone saw this online & alerted me. I need to make people aware that this is completely fabricated & fraudulent. Takes fake news to a new level. Ironically, I’ve not invested a single rupee in cryptos,” he said.
However, this isn’t the first time when fake news around Mahindra started doing rounds on social media. Earlier this year in September 2021, Mahindra was falsely attributed in a post. He had clarified that the quote is not actually his while sharing the quote alongside. Also Read:
“I’m flattered that some believe my statements are quotable and I have always believed in the power of social media to democratise information & share knowledge. But the downside is wrongly attributed quotes. I will do my best to call them out whenever possible’,” he had noted. Also Read:
