How much an 80-year-old man “invested.” The Michigan resident sent the moolah to someone he met on Words With Friends claiming to be an LA investment banker. The money and “advisor” are gone — along with his win streak, I’m guessing.
The fee owners of the viral pink Stanley cup are charging. No kidding, the sold-out travel mugs are in that high of demand. I’m not usually a fan of altered photos, but to anyone considering this offer, Photoshop (and freebie versions) exist.
