He goes, I mean, it's money, dude, but I have no moral about it. It's not my page. I'm like, oh, that does suck. But I mean, it's a business. I get it. It's a business. This fool. I'm like, so my account's getting flat. Oh, the day I dropped the papers, my entire page got flagged and I got like 5 posts deleted. Rosie got her post deleted and she never gets flagged. All of our got hit the morning we dropped the papers. So two days later is when this article came out. No, the next day the article came out. So two days later. This is when Dan called. Or not Dan, this one Q calls me and I'm like, hey, what's up? It's like, I'm not deleting you. I promise you I'm not deleting you. And he goes, but I'm gonna tell you something right now. Just hear me out. I'm like, oh, no. What? I know it's 3500-5K to delete somebody. I will never do it. I promise on my life, I will never do it. Even if I hate the person. No, I will never do that to somebody because I know what it's like to lose all your. It sucks. He said, so three days before your papers dropped. He's like, I always have the email, I always have the account. And which account? Which person? The. The requests are coming through. Hey, can you turn this page on? Hey, can you leave this page? Hey, I need a verification on this page. Hey, this guy has an old page, but I need that name. Can you delete him so I could take the name? That's the services people offer. I just get the check mark, and he helped me get my check mark, and then it got deleted and it got taken away so I didn't have to pay him. And then I got my check mark by myself. What are the odds of that? Like, I ended up getting approved. That's why I didn't say Thomas Araujo on Doba Ziola. They recognize me as an actual person from the Internet, so that's why my name didn't have to have it. I got approved, which is fucking insane. They. I'm recognized under that name because I have a dba. I guess I didn't have to put my actual name or driver's eyes, nothing. It's nuts. I'm an actual Instagram guy. Isn't that cool? Anyway, he says, three days before your papers dropped, I got an anonymous link. And I'm like, oh, what does that mean? Because I know the anonymous on the Internet. So it's like vigilante dudes. This comes from an anonymous link. He's like, I could trace it. Of course I can trace, like, hacker. He's like, but it's just gonna take too long. It doesn't matter to me. Like, so what about. He goes, three days before your papers dropped, I got an anonymous Link offering me 10,000 with all your information to take down your social, the one you have currently with the check mark. And I'm like, damn, dude. I did just start getting hella post flagged. Usually I would be deleted getting that many post flags. I always lose the account. I didn't lose anything because I didn't post anything wrong. I'm not posting weed. And. And I got the real check mark. And I think Instagram's like, hey, hey. Not deleting this account. It's a verified account. What are you talking about? No. So I got to keep it, right? He said, three days before, somebody offered me 10,000. And I said no. I only said. I didn't say no. I left it open, didn't respond. I thought, weird off the bat, offering me more than double my. Who is this? He's like, next day, same thing, same request. Around the same time, another request, 10,000 urgent. With my screenshot, my name, and my Instagram handle. Please delete this account. Wire the money when done, just like he normally gets. Oh, check mark, wire the money. He's like, day three, three days in a row, I got hit up by an Anonymous account saying 10k for this account, will you do it? And he's like, I left them all open, never traced it. He's like, I'm just want to let you know something is going on with you. I don't know who you pissed off, but nobody offers me double and anonymous. Something's going on. I'm like, and I'm in that room right here. I'm like. And I'm like, oh. I'm like. He's like, who'd you piss off? Go, dude, I'm just living my life. I have no idea who I pissed off. I didn't do nothing wrong. He said, because, you know, I have to hit up my Instagram connect to delete it. It's like, I'm promised. And that's. We said, I promise you, I will never delete your page. We've talked for too long. You. You've helped me out with hell other people. Because I. Every night someone gets lead, I give them the information. I'm like, yo, get your page back. I know it costs money, but you have businesses and just do it. Not everybody doesn't. That's why Twitter's getting bigger. But he's. But I'm in the room. Like, oh, man. He goes, who did you make mad? Can you think about anything? Like, no. He's like, 10,000 off the bat. No one's done. No one does that. Nobody does that. What did you do? I'm like, bro, what do you want me to say? Like, if I knew, I would tell you so I can avoid doing it ever again. And then he said, I'm going to let you know now, though, if they offer me more. And in my head, I'm. I'm thinking, you piece of. Before he even finished his sentence, I'm like, what are you about to say? Goes, I'm just letting you know if they offer me 25 or 50. He's like, because it has gone up to 50. It's like, if they offer me 50, can you just deactivate your page for the day so it looks like it's deleted? And I'll give you 25, and I'll keep 25. I'm like, you want to scam the scammer? He goes, why not these guys? Plus, it's anonymous. I don't even know who they are. Yo, I'll totally do it for a day. Just take my page off for a day. Activate again. Like, let's do it again next week. This whole time, I'm just juicing my own scammers. Oh, my God, I would. And you know, they. They're. Watch this. So you should just get another Instagram connect because he's not going to do it. So I'm on the phone and I was. I was right there, actually, when he said it, I laughed my ass. Like, no way. I would totally do it, dude. I don't want to. But I was just like, I'll do that right now. Just to go, wow, you. You spent times 10 the amount and just to get it, not delete. Like, somebody's got money, basically. And he said, this is what he said. He said it two times back to back. And that's when I'm like, what are you saying to me? He goes, anything new you've been doing lately to piss people off? Go, no, dude, I'm just said again, I'm just living my life, getting high. He goes, didn't. Did you start a. Didn't you start a paper company? Like, yeah. He goes, a lot of competition, huh? And he said it like a little kid. Like, bet you can't pick that up. Like, the way he said it, like, a lot of competition in there, huh? I go, yeah, but I know everybody goes, a lot of deep pockets in the paper game. Go, yeah, but like, I know everybody that is big and we're. It's chill. And he goes, did you start a paper company? He said it again. I go, yeah, dude. He goes, a lot of deep pockets. Just think about it. And I left it like that. Like, why wouldn't you just tell me who did this to me instead of leaving me in a riddle that's gonna leave me like this? Is it him? Is it them? Who is it? Because I don't know. But there's only a few people making that much money where they can dump it on him like that. Dump it on him. 10k. 10k to delete my page, knowing I'll get it back tomorrow. Let's throw away. That's crazy money. But he kept saying it, and I'm like, dude, why do you keep saying it? And I go, can't you just trace who sent it to? He goes, it's anonymous, but I can trace it. It's going to take hell along. And he goes, I got to be honest. Not really worth it. It's like, not really worth it to me. And whoever sent is probably not the person that's sending it from. It's probably from another email. I'm like, okay, yeah, you're right. You're right. It's a lot of work just to go, could be this guy. But one day when that court case with Dan Foger and Meta. It's Meta. You think they're not going to get to the bottom of this? I promise you they're gonna get to the very bottom of this. And you know what's gonna happen? I'm gonna find out who has been messing with me this all these years. And I hope to God it's somebody in this industry so I can smite them in my head. I will turn into a petty bitch and go, anybody that has their product, I'll give you $5. You throw it away on camera and unfollow them right now. I will go so hard. I will go above and beyond despite people you've done. This person has done so much to me. I couldn't tell. I couldn't tell you where we'd be. Marty, could you imagine if I got to promote every podcast episode with a 6 to 7 million Instagram followers that actually listened and watched?
