The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Yes. I will absolutely take you on that bet. Will you do crypto? I'd prefer Monero. I will provide wallet address and receipts.

I will happily take your money on top of theirs.

Let's say 7:10 dollar for dollar. Will you match every dollar I successfully earn 7:1? I'll pay you 10x what I am owed if I am not paid what owed for my work.

To be clear, if I need to sue to get this income, it may take as long as 36 months in extreme circumstances.

Something tells me you won't take this bet.

Hmm. Chat, what is the ratio of wage theft lawsuits losses to actual wins? How many wins were actually paid in a timely manner?

Joke's on them... even if they don't pay it's not like I valued the time I spent on it anyway.

And I certainly didn't do a good job.

Sounds like you won't take the bet.
