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.

• ''Now TikTokers 'invent' a new fad... walking: Gen Z influencers reveal how they're doing age-old practice of going for strolls without their phones in craze dubbed 'silent walking'''- The ingenuity!

• ''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.
