Sounds like they were secretly lining their own pockets

 

I can confirm this.

I was offered verification in June of 2015 as I was an author and speaker.

The price I was told, was $13k.

Obviously, I couldn't afford it and continued on.

Elon bought a crime scene and now people are finding out just how bad it was. https://t.co/5qUDIUZYOs

Congress added thousands of IRS agents, and gave then firearms.
Will they hunt down those Twitter employees?

There have been a number of “kickback” schemes in Silicon Valley history.
Most are caused by H1b who think they can run things like they did in their home country.
Of the two I know about, one involved 100M and a fake company setup by India.
The other were two Iranians who setup essentially a slave market for workers.

Now we know why all those Blue Check celebrities were crying about paying $20 bucks a month. They had already paid their vig.

That's a BINGO!

Securities Exchange Commission? No. IRS notification for those accused of taking their bribes for 15,000.00 per case. Can’t be too many dozens on the Twitter check verification phone center.

If a bribe, it is not on their 1099 nor W2.

This is about the most anal take on a one word tweet Ihave yet seen.

Uh huh, sure - pointing out reality to those getting breathlessly excited over a rumor that has yet to be substantiated is "anal". Sorry folks - Musk didn't confirm anything yet - he said he'd look into it.

If the check went directly to the Twitter employee it’s theft.

If the Twit didn’t report it as income, it’s tax fraud.

Need to perp walk dozens of these Nazi overlord censors.

Blue check marks (verification) -- now controlled by the wealthiest man on Earth, a man reaching for the stars, at least as far as Mars. What he said.

Fast, or good?

Here's where I "loose" people, but perhaps not everybody, soooo...

Yesterday [before I knew about this pay-to-appear-kosher scheme] I had been thinking about the Hebrew word koach/28. Power, force -- the number on the "Jews in Space" spaceship, which was the hint for the sequel to HOTW Part I. Spaceballs, the spoof on Star Wars. There's much commentary out there for koach/28.

Which led me to think about the force -- the Schwartz which means black. But then another color dawned on me -- blue -- because blue (kachol, כחול) begins with the force, koach [כח]. It's also a pun on a keyhole, ki-chol, "as [כ] the sand [חול]".

And, "chul" [חו"ל] is the word-acronym for being outside the land, abroad, like when Abram was told to look up:

Genesis 15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

("The" stars, ha-kokavim = 5 stars, the best of the best, Abram's seed through Isaac, which is the simple meaning why the letter hei was added to Abram's name. His seed is the best of the best. But on the one hand, apparently not everyone is willing or able to count to 5.)

ROY G. BIV

OTOH, what can you do? Gotta laugh. The Dark Side never learns because it already knows everything already. Galley slaves, convinced that the quickest way to arrive at Freedom's shores is to row at ramming speed until it kills them. No concept or appreciation of hovering.

This led me right back to the reason I had been thinking of the word koach in the first place: HaRav Ginsburgh's analysis of the [current] month of Cheshvan:

In Hebrew, Cheshvan is written with the four letters: חשון. The borders (the first and last letters) of Cheshvan are chet - ח and nun - ן, which together spell the word chein - חן, meaning "beauty." The word chein - חן, "beauty" equals 58. The 58th day of the year is the 28th day of Cheshvan.

11 Cheshvan: Yarzheit Rochel Imeinu

Why the connection to blue check marks, the blue bird's symbol of verification:

Because blue... kachol also reads as "koach and 30" (see Pirkei Avot 5:21, "בֶּן שְׁלשִׁים לַכֹּחַ"), koach being the same letters as the numeral 28, hence 28 [כ"ח] + [ו, "and"]

30 [ל] =

= 58

I notice these sorts of things because I am committed. 😜

Paradoxically, it's the only way to be free.

The Spirit of Elohim [רוח אלהים] = 300, so you can see how it all adds up from the very beginning.

out of the blue:

without warning; unexpectedly

It's a well-known sign, slogan:

About the blessing:

More commonly, chen [חן] is translated as grace. "Grace? She passed away 30 years ago." < --- Literally.

Re that yearly trek to the family home -- it's the annual sacrifice for all the family, because there's never enough room.

The bottom of the picture posted - “Yup”

Which I assume was in response to "investigation needed".

No need to insult. The tweet was 2 parts. First someone’s statement about selling blue checks and, second, Musk’s reply. The first statement made 2 points: there was selling of checks and 2) the sales should be investigated. Musk’s reply was ambiguous because he didn’t note whether he was replying to the first point, the second point, or to both. But I agree that the layout of the two part tweet was confusing for everyone and required close reading.

What is the return on investment for this? How does a blue check bring in money?

The FBI, SEC, and IRS are as effective as they were with Bernie Madoff’s scam.

Then throw in California’s attorney general for even more ineffectiveness:

If they pocketed/kept that money and spent it, that is really Grand Larceny.

Yes, but your $15,000 probably also bought you 300,000 fake followers so it looked someone else gave a sh1t about your posts.

I do not “tweet,” and since I do not “tweet,” I have no idea what a “Bluecheck” is!

On Twitter, a Bluecheck is a small blue circle with a white checkmark placed near the screen name of individuals who wish to convey that they are the actual person with that name— chiefly celebrities, public officials or other persons of note. I don't do Twitter, either; but presumably they would have to provide verifiable ID and other personal info to Twitter in order to get the symbol.

Without the symbol, people could (and did) post fake accounts with some other person's name and/or photo and use it make false statements, causing a viral reaction, and taking cooler heads hours, days or never to uncover the actual facts.

Un-bluechecked accountholders tend to be "ordinary" folks who have presumably been using their actual ID such as their cellphone number to sign up for a Twitter account; but people wanting to remain deeply anonymous could have concocted false ID. Actual ID matters when an accountholder does something that makes investigators want to find them; such as committing an online falsehood, livestreaming a crime, or threatening imminent suicide and their online contacts want to send first responders to intervene.

There have been claims of huge numbers of computer-generated fake accounts on both Twitter and Facebook that can be run by propaganda operators to influence opinion, sway campaigns, or otherwise distort true popular opinion. Russia and China have been accused of running "click farms" of fake screen personas to try to influence consumer behavior or voter opinion. surely there are also plenty of such operators in the U.S. and the rest of the First World.

Advertisers pay a sliding scale of rates for exposure to viewers—the more viewers a web site company can promise, the more it can charge advertisers to run ads on its site. Fake online accounts (called "bots") that are generated by massive computer programs serve to inflate the numbers of so-called viewers on a site such as FB or Twitter. A large number of false accounts creates not just a false valuation of a site to advertisers, but also extortionate profits. This issue caused Musk to try to back out of the deal when Twitter balked at verifying its claims of how many of its accounts were real people instead of "bots."

Maybe this is why Musk said he didn't have to pay out executive packages to the former C-level, because they were fired for cause?

My first thought, as well. Keeps them out of jail; saves him a lot of legal hassle. "Take your guilt and just go!"
