  This has been such an abnormal stream week for DSP. It doesn't make any logical sense how the money is coming in. It's almost as if two or three people and their socks are off their medications or something. Further, so much has been dumped in through Youtube which means a lot of it is eaten up by fees and isn't even accessible until the end of August. At the same time, DSP is dumping even more money into various card boxes, paying scalper rates and probably pushing towards $5,000 wasted on card boxes, binders, and special cases. With accessible cash being a problem, where is this money coming from? Is DSP burning through a dwindling amount of savings of money or something? Or is he using PayPal Credit / Payment Plans? Either way, the amount being dumped into the coffers doesn't seem like it matches up to the amount being pissed away on these cards, as if there is a potential crunch in the future. Sort of related, the day stream on Wednesday had a rando that also dropped 4 large Super Chats that added up to $220 which stood out yet it was all Mobile based, so it came to about $107 when all is said and done after fees but before taxes -- probably $81 if you consider about 25% taxes or so. If that was supposed to be a troll, that's about as stupid as it comes. What a waste of money. I guess I'll never understand these people because I could think of a better use of $220 than seeing incinerated by DSP. 🤔

  Check your login activity (someone may already be inside) He said: "Go to Settings. Click Security. Select 'Manage your logins.'" A screen appeared showing every device and browser that had logged into his PayPal account with dates, locations, and device types. There was a login from a city he'd never been to. From 4 months ago. On a device he didn't own. He said: "Someone accessed your account from another location. They didn't drain it that would trigger a fraud alert. Instead, they've been making small charges through a preapproved payment they set up. $2.49 here, $1.99 there. Small enough that you'd never notice. This is called a low-and-slow attack, and it's the most common type of PayPal fraud because it flies under the radar." They logged out every device. Changed the password. Enabled two-factor authentication. Filed a dispute. He said: "Check this screen once a month. If you see a device or location you don't recognize, someone else has access to your account. Kill the session immediately."

  @AMCTheatres why can’t I buy tickets on your website? I get an error for every form of payment. Paypal charged me, but I have no tickets.

  @DrewPavlou He's totally right.... Musk employs 150,000 people at an average salary of $125k. He made 4,400 new employee-millionaires with his SpaceX IPO. We could have avoided all of that if we had just had taken all his PayPal money away and plunked it all down on the EBT cards of the Somalis.

  Josh peck compares the difference between making money as an actor and an influencer “When I was 15 years old and started making money on Drake and Josh, I was like this gives me a lot of power and it gave me a lot of security and I was like I will do everything in my power to provide for the rest of my life” “ it was a terrible feeling as a little kid, I saw my mom struggle but I couldn’t do anything” “but when I started social media it was the first time that I was like able to do a job and work at something and make money pretty instantaneously” “In 2014, I had gotten really big on VINE, I was the number 1 person on vine and I remember it was July of 2014, I got the brand deal with this darting company called BADOO and they were like we will give you $5000 to make a VINE they were like we will PayPal you” “They were in Europe I was like they will probably not turn out, and I said worst case scenario I spend an hour making this video and they don’t send me the money and I will take it down, then it hit then within that month I made like $20,000”

  Sapvage comms have slowed down, and that's fine–I expect they'll pick back up once the 2.0 update drops and you can finally put them into the game. It just means my PayPal was almost empty when the scammer struck, and now it's in the red... Comms are still open, of course! Heh...

  I run everything through PayPal because I don’t have a bank account, and now PayPal is refusing to let me issue invoices or receive money because I don’t have a bank account. It’s ridiculous... They could've told me 3 months ago that this only works for a while!!!! #frustrated #freelancer #paypal

  Whitney Webb just exposed the real reason why Palantir was created: To privatize mass surveillance. “This is admitted in mainstream media.” “So don’t tell me this is a conspiracy theory.” “Alex Karp admitted that the CIA was always the intended client of Palantir.” Webb and Mark Goodwin just broke down the truth about Palantir’s origins: After 9/11, DARPA launched the Information Awareness Office to develop a government mass surveillance apparatus. Reagan-era National Security Advisor John Poindexter led the new IAO. After massive public scrutiny and backlash, Congress defunded it. But the program never really shut down. It was moved into the private sector with the help of Peter Thiel and Alex Karp. Webb: “Peter Thiel comes, fresh off of selling PayPal … he’s got all this money, and he’s like: I’m gonna make this company called Palantir.” “Palantir … had really started off as the anti-fraud algorithm at PayPal.” “When PayPal was being created, Max Levchin sort of gave it away.” Goodwin revealed that Max Levchin essentially admitted in an interview at the time: “When I was developing all the anti-fraud stuff at PayPal, I was working with every three and four letter agency that I could.” “Meaning the CIA, and the DOD, and DARPA.” “They form PayPal in the late ‘90s.” “They make a bunch of money, and it’s Thiel and Levchin, admittedly working with the CIA and NSA, while developing this anti-fraud stuff.” “He takes that anti-fraud algorithm, which was built with the CIA in the private sector, and then rebrands it as Palantir.” Webb: “As they’re setting it up, they go through Richard Perle, who was involved with the Bush-era Department of Defense, and I believe the Office of Special Plans.” “He’s approached by Peter Thiel and Alex Karp.” “They’re basically like: we want to talk to John Poindexter, because what he was trying to do is what we want to do.” “They go and meet with Poindexter, who becomes named basically the godfather of modern surveillance because of this.” “He advises them on how to create Palantir.” “And then Palantir gets in bed pretty much right away with the CIA.” “They were their first and only client for their first six years.” @_whitneywebb @markgoodw_in
