  📋 Before you book with TRIPATHALF, know this: 🔸 Can't club with other offers/wallet/coupons 🔸 No PayPal, My Wallet, or COD payments 🔸 Not valid on Reserve Now Pay Later 🔸 Cancel later? You lose the discount too, not just the fare 🔸 Enter the code correctly — miss it and there's no retroactive fix Read the fine print before you hit book.

  ***** acting like he was slandered over an opinion. Let me break it down for him. You goto court with your frivolous lawsuit. Discovery demands full disclosure of your financial records. SSDI, Cash App, PayPal, and any other benefits. Your dropped suits are entered with evidence of your literal harassment. Witnesses are deposed and entered to testify at trial. During this time the STATE will see that yiur SSDI was not effected as well as your housing and any other benefits. The legal waiver is exposed, you get implicated in defaming your attorney. Your atty then shows proof of your claim being true or false. If true, that's a whole other problem. If false, you lose your councel, on top of the alleged fraud committed against the state for not reporting your income. You are then forced to payback a prorated amount, this is now an unavoidable debt. You lose SSDI, housing, and other benefits. Then the defendant can countersue, or pursue coercion and intimidation charges. This isn't a threat, its the reality of what you are doing and have done. A lawsuit filed would expose your entire scheme of getting settlements and dropping suits to attack 1 person. Enjoy

  @PayPal PayPal is a terrible service that facilitates fraud and does nothing about it. They’ll give the company who commits fraud until the end of the year to respond, by which point nothing will be done even when there is clear evidence of fraud. They profit off of it.

  Ripple's CEO just explained why #XRP exists in under 2 minutes no jargon: Venmo can't send to PayPal, even though PayPal owns Venmo. That's how broken our payment networks are. Now scale that to sending money overseas: slow, expensive, and it can vanish for weeks. Ripple's fix: sell the tech to banks worldwide. 4 second settlement, fractions of a penny, anywhere on Earth. Customers don't care it runs on XRP. They just care that it works.

  Banks used to be heavyweight investments. Not so much anymore. Look at the last 138 days: XLF (Financials) is now behaving almost like XLU (Utilities) — slow, low-growth, defensive. Meanwhile fintech and crypto keep taking share: • Payment apps (PayPal, Venmo, Chime, X Money…) • Digital banking • DeFi / crypto rails • Even newer players moving into underwriting Traditional banks are losing the energy that used to make them cyclical leaders. Capital and growth are flowing elsewhere. The sector chart makes it pretty clear. Anyone else seeing this shift?

  Did you know there's a type of phishing attack that defeats MFA completely. It's called a reverse proxy phishing kit and it's one of the fastest-growing attack techniques in cybersecurity. Traditional phishing works by using fake login page. you type your password. attacker gets it. if you have MFA enabled, the stolen password alone is useless. attacker gets stopped at the second gate. reverse proxy is different. instead of a fake page, the attacker sets up a live proxy server between you and the real website. when you click the phishing link, you connect to the attacker's server. the server connects to the real Microsoft, Google, or Okta on your behalf. it fetches the real login page and serves it directly to you, pixel for pixel in real time. you're looking at the actual login page. you type your real password. the proxy relays it to Microsoft. Microsoft sends back an MFA prompt. the proxy relays that to you. you approve it. Microsoft sends back a session cookie. the proxy intercepts the cookie before it reaches your browser. You're logged in, so is the attacker using the same session. Tools used: Evilginx, Modlishka, Muraena. all open source. all free. all with pre-built templates for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Okta, and PayPal. commercial versions: EvilProxy, Tycoon 2FA, Mamba 2FA, Starkiller. Sold as subscription services on Telegram. Reverse proxy phishing surged 139% between September 2025 and March 2026, nearly 1 in 4 phishing links now carries a reverse proxy payload. 18 US universities hit last year. Microsoft 365 campaigns targeting thousands of organizations globally. The only authentication method that stops this completely: FIDO2 passkeys and hardware security keys. They bind credentials to the real domain. The proxy can't replay them because the credential was never issued for the proxy's domain. Everything else, SMS codes, authenticator apps, push notifications can all be relayed.

  . Scummy tricks the platform sticks up my *** every day... a) A guy reposted one of my actual articles this morning, and I went over there to check on it about an hour later and found it 72 posts back on the timeline. b) I made a little post just about that. It has a few comments on it, but no one would ever know. Because the comment couter is blank. Comments to my post don't register. So no one would ever think of clicking to view them. They've been concealed by the platform. The scumbags that run this platform have pulled every ***** trick in the book on me from the very beginning, but have really put the hammer down since my series of articles targeting the PayPal Mafia directly, as well as the organized crime cartel occupying the Oval Office with articles such as "The Doge Scam", and The Pardons Racket". Since then, my account's basically been dead. .

The first few months were slow, and then it picked up really fast.” Dave Ramsey: “Your mother doesn’t know any of this?” Jake: “No. All the money is in PayPal because she’s joint on my bank account. “I want to tell her, but I know she’ll be very skeptical of what I’m doing. “She’s always told me she wants me to take a traditional path, and I’m worried she’ll put an end to it.”

  I am ready stressed right now. My bank account is really low and I had alot of unexpected charges come in this month and more are coming. If you can possibly donate a few dollars to my Paypal I would really appreciate it. My time is stretched, and have been working on technical issues for two weeks. I have had to spend money on software and medical and office that have put me dangerously low in my bank account. If you can afford even a small donation, could you please send emergency funds I would be so appreciative!
