FaZe'd out, GenZ invents walking & stolen billions 👀🍿🧃
Hi Wrecklings!
Just added Last Stop Larrimah to my must-watch list, it sounds like a modern-day, more colourful Agatha Christie mystery.
''How To Steal And Lose More Than $3 Billion In Bitcoin''- The Silk Road connection is really wild here.
“Internet has no sympathy for influencer losing job because of OnlyFans content”- Considering the entire millennial generation was told to scrub their socials (erm, Facebook and… MySpace?) of any questionable content, otherwise we wouldn’t get jobs… yeah, no sympathy here.
“Is TikTok ‘Filler Transparency’ A Good Thing?”- I’d love to just seeee what I’d look like with fillers without actually having to try them.
''Safran calls for criminal probe over alleged fake jet engine parts''- What kind of evil people would think this was an acceptable way to scam people.
''Breakfast Club' host DJ Envy is being sued for alleged investment fraud''- Not being allowed to leave the state of New Jersey, ope.
''Meta Accused by States of Using Features to Lure Children to Instagram and Facebook''- Unsurprising, just like how Juul just happened to be so appealing to teens.
''TikToker Madison Russo Must Pay $39k In Restitution After Making Fake Cancer Claims''- And a boatload of awful karma.
''An influencer took down ‘dupe’ videos of her designs. People were divided on the move.''- Taking down the influencers promoting the dupes feels like taking the whack-a-mole approach.
''FaZe Clan's plummeting valuation shows the risks of betting your company's future on influencers''- Can’t say I’d have my revenue relying on influencers behaving themselves.
''I went thousands into debt to become an influencer — it could have ruined me''- Considering she spent 1/2 of her annual salary, it’s shocking it didn’t.
''The Crypto Whistleblower at the Center of the Sam Bankman-Fried Storm''- Everything relating to the FTX trial is just wild. I also highly recommend The Wall Street Journal’s “The Trial of Crypto’s Golden Boy” podcast.
''Game company that promises users real money in prizes is accused of pitting real life players up against BOTS to ensure they never win in 'illegal gambling operation'''- This story is wild. Also why does it look like both of these apps were designed by the same 90s-era-web-builder?
''The Sinaloa Cartel’s Highest-Ranking Woman Is Free. But What Happens Now?''- She remains very, very under the radar from everyone.
