Imagine you’re the cops pulling over a purple Lamborghini Huracan Performante in Queensland, Australia. The driver? A flashy 28-year-old who cashed in his crypto to buy a Lamborghini he obviously can’t handle. By the time you run his record, your jaw drops: 20 serious traffic offenses in just 662 miles driven. That’s one major offense every 33 miles.

Meet Benjamin Nelson, a self-proclaimed Bitcoin tycoon who turned $620,000 AUD (about $400,000 USD) into a rolling disaster. After cashing out his cryptocurrency, Nelson splurged on a 2019 Lamborghini Huracan Performante—arguably one of the most ridiculous cars to own if you can’t keep your foot off the gas. Not content with just one flashy ride, he also bought an Audi A5 for his girlfriend.

So he sold his quickly appreciating asset to go all-in on quickly depreciating assets. Financial guru this kid is not.

It didn’t take long for Nelson to prove himself equally reckless behind the wheel. The trouble began with hooning—Aussie slang for reckless driving. Nelson treated public streets like his personal racetrack, hitting 125 mph in a 70 mph zone. Police attempted to pull him over, but the Huracan—appropriately named after a hurricane—was impossible to catch.

The situation spiraled further when Nelson’s girlfriend reported the crypto-bought Lamborghini stolen six days later. By then, the car had been involved in a crash, abandoned, and left in ruins. Not buying the “stolen” excuse, police eventually tracked Nelson down in a confused state not far from the accident scene.

When the dust settled, his charges included dangerous driving, evading police, attempting to pervert justice, and driving under the influence of drugs. This wasn’t a few traffic tickets—it was a record-breaking spree of bad decisions. By February, Nelson was sentenced to four years in prison.

Queensland Police didn’t stop there. They seized the wrecked Lamborghini and announced its auction, scheduled for June. Proceeds would go directly into government coffers, with Police Minister Mark Ryan issuing a stern warning to other drivers. “If you are considering being reckless behind the wheel, you could have your vehicle confiscated and face severe consequences,” he said.

The Huracan, once a $330,000 USD symbol of wealth and speed, ended up a cautionary tale for would-be hooligans. Nelson’s crypto fortune may have come quickly, but his poor choices behind the wheel burned through it even faster. Cryptocurrency may be able to buy a Lamborghini, but obviously not common sense.
