Twitter employees were selling verification for upwards of $15,000. For certain accounts, mine included, they would refuse to verify you through the standard application and then privately offer to verify you for $$ behind the scenes.

It’s only $8 now; not nearly expensive enough to make the special people feel special.

Musk needs to start selling a gold check for $100,000.

That will show everybody how special they are, and they can bask in their golden twitter glory.

A shake down? Though untoward, is it illegal?

Yes. It’s totally illegal. It’s bribery. Employees in the company I work were fired and prosecuted for taking money under the table for company contracts.

Yup. Know in some states as commercial bribery.

“And now you can get it for $8 a month.”


and even cheaper if you could find a mind follower
to offer to pay your tab.

These ‘starlits’ need to learn to be humble. They’ve
been living high on the hog for too many years, riding on
the coat tails of others.

It will be enlightening to see how Musk eventually handles
the loss of ad revenue and his attempts to keep the ship
sailing smoothly should those too big for their britches
haul asz attempting to find another size more comfortable to their tastes

The money spent for nothing gained makes one cringe.
That is until the breakdown of ‘communications’ is taken
into consideration. This...is priceless.

If true, I hope the Twitter employees who engaged in those activities reported the income on their federal and state income tax forms.

What kind of fool do you have to be to pay $15,000 for some crooked employee to give you a blue checkmark?

Some notorious people have paid millions of $$ for verified favors from Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, etc.

Well you can bet that there would be tax evasion involved with something like that.

I am still permanently banned!!!

I defended President Trump by responding to a violent tweet and reporting the person who posted what they did, I got reported (??) and was the one temporarily suspended. When I was reinstated, that very day, I followed Dan Bongino and got a message I was PERMANENTLY banned - which stands to this day.

I have repeatedly filed requests for them to revisit but am ignored.,

I hope they all choke on their vomit. They have suppressed the Conservative voice, possibly changing the direction of our country which has lead to her destruction.

I think the real name was “indulgences”. Catholic church sold them — basically get out of ‘Ell cards.

In a certain national industry where you have facilities managers, it’s sometimes common for them to ask for thousands of dollars in cash to award a project to a certain vendor. If you don’t agree to pay the requested dollar amount your quote for said project goes in the round file.
