I am either going to prison or becoming a billionaire because of Pi Network

Either I'm going to go to jail because this is all illegal, which I don't think it is, or I'm going to make a ton of money. It's speculative value. Either I'm going to go to prison or be a billionaire.

Pi Network remains in an unlaunched 'enclosed mainnet' state years later with zero market value, and Billy is neither in prison nor a billionaire because of it.

I will fight Darren Rovell anytime, anywhere for zero dollars.

My Fyre Fest is that Darren Rovell doesn't look like he's going to fight me anymore... I told Barstool, I said, 'I will do it for zero dollars.' And I removed all stipulations. Anytime, anywhere, I will fight Darren Rovell. Anytime, anywhere. He just loves being talked about... The only thing I will say is anytime, anywhere, if he wants to fight me, I will show up and I will kick his ass and I will do it with a smile on my face.

The fight never took place, so the outcome of PFT kicking his ass remains unverified.

It should be encouraged to kill bats to keep the population down and reduce the risk of mosquito bites

I feel like it should be encouraged to kill bats... [to keep the] population like to keep it down. So like no of the mosquito bites. Which also was the bats. That's true.

Bats are actually a primary predator of mosquitoes; killing them would likely lead to an increase in the mosquito population, making this claim factually backwards.
