    That craigslist listing was updated 6 hours ago, now it says

    compensation: Flat Fee of $1,000, paid in cryptocurrency - Provided by FIGHT FITE FIGHT LLC

    Yeah I think it’s satire and they changed the name of the LLC so they’re not impersonating the real grifters. (Fight Fight Fight LLC is, according to another comment, the actual name of the group behind the Trump coin.)

    Guard Soldiers Deployed in Trump’s LA Crackdown Aren’t Getting Paid Yet

    The 4,000 California National Guard soldiers who President Donald Trump surged into Los Angeles remain unpaid due to delays in issuing official activation orders, leaving compensation and benefits in limbo.

    According to more than a dozen Guardsmen across four units who spoke to Military.com, none has received formal activation orders, the critical paperwork that not only authorizes their duty status, but also unlocks pay, Tricare health benefits and eligibility for Department of Veterans Affairs services. Without those orders, troops remain in a legal and administrative limbo.

    This is not satire :-)

      I edited the title to tag it as satire. Every day brings new absurdity. We are on a memes forum, but I could totally imagine people seeing this and thinking it’s real because the zone is so flooded with bullshit.

    “Paid in crypto currency”

    Lol, so they can rug pull the coins before anyone actually cashes out.

      Here’s your $1000 in crypto.

      Why did you only send 930? No, wait, 720. ah, I get it. It’s 1,004 now. Quick how do I convert these 845 to dollars? Let me make an account on randomExchange and send all my 428 crypto tokens there. Now complete KYC to cash out 167, entering my bank account and… success! I finally managed to get my $2.65

        You really think they aren’t going to give a shit coin that tanks before people have a chance to sell, or some other shell game?

          I think if it were me I’d be prepared to sell immediately. But to say it has no value isn’t close to correct. You can sell a trump coin today for roughly 10% less than you bought unless you hit that big spike in October.

          I’m not saying that all of that isn’t insane, but you could 100% get something that has real value that can be traded into traditional currency.

          It would be fantastic to sign up to see if you can work to get paid, devalue actual supporters value, and maybe get a chance to shit stir and important fascist event. Sigh, a man can have his pipe dreams 😑.

          To say it has no value underestimates the opposition and ignores an unfortunate dumb as fuck reality IMO.

      Sad part is although the ad is fake, Fight fight fight LLC is real and it’s one of two entities that owns the $TRUMP meme coin.
