Alas probably not true - the anime girl profile pic seems unlikely for a "gamble all my money on trump" type. Plus the specific mention of a Wendy's carpark is just too intentionally funny.

Wendys has the greasy fingerprints of wallstreetbets all over it.

Well he is already at a Wendy's, he can make the money back with blowies behind the dumpster with the rest of the coinbros.

40k is a lot of blowies and I'm guessing these guys can't charge top dollar.

McDonald's didn't get to where it is by having high prices. They got there with convenience, low cost, and value.

That’s why you sell NFBs instead—non-fungible blowies. Each NFB represents the rights to a blowie on a blockchain. They can be resold over and over. You’d be rich in no time.

Great, now I have to create a cryptocurrency. I hope you're happy.

Is it controversial to say that you shouldnt hope for someone to be tricked and then scammed?

[–] Linktank 4 points 3 hours ago

The issue at stake here is that the people in a position to trick and scam everybody were clearly labeled as tricksters and scammers BEFORE those people put them into the position of power to do their tricking and scamming on a large scale. Then after that they dove headfirst into the tricks and the scams going "I'm owning the libs!" while their money was completely stolen from them in a tricky scam.

So, I would say that yes, to many people, suggesting that these fools didn't deserve this completely is a controversial take.

No, post like this put a pit in my stomach even if they are fake

I know, I know, we've already done this so many times, but this must be done. We're all tired, but we can't let them forget. Everyone all at once now: We told you.

I hope its not true for the child's sake. They might need that college education desperately.

I feel bad for the kid, but I think we’ve hit a point now were if they could hear all the blaring, screaming, sirens and the 10,000 flashing warning lights then I just have so little sympathy that I actually think that’s funny as hell and hope that maybe, finally, this person has learned something. Good, they can poor and they can know exactly who did it to them, and losing all that money can maybe give them a sense of how hard being poor really is in that dogshit country.

that "wendy's parking lot" is a r/wallstreetbets meme and dead giveaway that it's a bit
