      A though: would this be a good avenue for money laundering? Make a bunch of “accounts” that “pay” for your “course”?

        In that case, the large majority of the hacked/leaked accounts should be bot accounts. I wonder if that is something that can be checked and verified. Maybe most of those accounts can be traced back to a few points of origin, done in bulk by some sort of shady service hired via the dark web.

      I’ve thought the same thing about running a gift on far right assholes, especially because I’m a man of color. They’d eat that tokenism up. I just couldn’t but more of that shit in the world or disrupted myself like that. But damn would the money be good.
