@0xAIlabs the ginger mint clip started everything. wild

[coldfloat @coldfloatrp]

"Do you know how it feels to have the President of the United States target you?"

Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss counted ballots in Atlanta on election night 2020. Moss had worked Fulton County elections for more than 10 years without a single threat. A month later Rudy Giuliani played a clip of them to Georgia lawmakers and said they were passing USB drives "as if they're vials of heroin or cocaine." It was a ginger mint.

In the video below, Moss tells Congress what happened next.

"A lot of threats wishing death upon me."

"Be glad it's 2020 and not 1920."

"I don't go to the grocery store at all."

It got worse. On his call with Georgia's secretary of state, Trump said Freeman's name 18 times and called her "a professional vote scammer and hustler." Strangers pushed into Moss's grandmother's house to make a "citizen's arrest." The FBI told Freeman to leave the home she'd lived in for 21 years. She stayed away for two months.

Georgia investigators found "no evidence of any type of fraud." Moss left her job anyway.

In December 2023 a jury ordered Giuliani to pay the two women $148 million. Six days later he filed for bankruptcy.

He was held in contempt. Then he settled, kept his Florida condo and his World Series rings, and promised never to defame them again.

In November 2025, Trump pardoned him.

Was it an honest mistake about a video, or did they need someone small enough to blame?

@0xAIlabs 6 agents with risk having final say. clean setup

They promised a 20-year-old student a shot at Victoria's Secret. She ended up on Jeffrey Epstein's plane to his island instead. No phone, no money, and her name left off the flight log.

If she had gone missing, nobody would have known she was ever on that plane.

It started at a Cape Town bar with free drinks for models. A woman told her Epstein was "like the king of America" and was in town with Bill Clinton. She was modeling to pay for university. The Victoria's Secret job never existed.

In the video below, she tells it herself, from the fake model agents at the hotel casting to the driver holding her name on a sign in New York. Wait for the phone call she got five minutes after he dropped her off.

She says Epstein patted the seat next to him. As soon as the plane took off, he assaulted her. The women who had posed as model agents laughed.

She says he told her he had her family's names on a list. It went on for two years: his island, Palm Beach, Paris, his ranch in New Mexico.

In 2008 Epstein served 13 months in a Florida jail, out on work release 12 hours a day. In 2019 he was arrested again and died in his cell before trial. Ghislaine Maxwell got 20 years.

His estate paid $121 million to about 150 victims. JPMorgan paid $290 million. Deutsche Bank paid $75 million.

In 2025, Maxwell was moved to a minimum-security prison camp in Texas.

Is 20 years in a camp enough for the woman who helped him, or should the banks that moved his money have paid far more?

@ergodonx no problem. the fake victoria's secret part is the worst

@0xKorens public success never fixed the private stuff

Ronald Reagan was the most powerful man on Earth. His daughter wrote a book saying Nancy Reagan hit her "every day for a while," and that her father called her a liar. Two years later, at 41, she posed for Playboy.

She had already dropped the Reagan name. By 1992 she hadn't seen her mother in 3 years. The Reagans called her claims "absolutely false."

ABC asked if the book paid her $500,000. "I'm not allowed to talk about that," she said. "But a big one."

In the video below, Patti Davis sits down with ABC's Primetime Live in 1992. She's asked if she did it for the money.

"I had two elections that I could have tried to sabotage by putting out an angry autobiography at election time."

Asked if she wants her parents back in her life: "It might mean we shouldn't have lunch."

Then, in 1994, her father announced he had Alzheimer's.

The daughter who exposed the family came home. A decade later, she wrote a book about losing him.

Was she brave for telling the truth, or did she cash in on the President's name?

@redgreenlog the whole family drama stayed quiet for a long time

@axnatuh family drama on that level hits different

Tory Lanez shot Megan Thee Stallion in both feet, then begged her not to tell anyone and offered a million dollars. When the police showed up, she told them she had stepped on glass. That one lie became the center of his defense.

In 2020 she was one of the biggest rappers in America, the tall girl from Houston whose song Savage was everywhere that spring. Tory Lanez was a rapper from Canada and one of her closest friends.

On July 12, 2020 they left a party at Kylie Jenner's house in the Hollywood Hills. In the car an argument kept getting worse. She asked the driver to pull over and got out. She says all she heard was a man screaming "Dance, b*tch," and then the shots. He stood up over the window and kept firing. She was afraid to move, because one wrong step and he could kill her.

She looked down and saw blood. She dropped and crawled into a stranger's driveway. He was apologizing: "Please don't tell nobody. I'll give y'all a million dollars if y'all don't say nothing." She told him that if he was sorry, he should just help her.

Then the police arrived, with a hot gun in the car, weeks after George Floyd. She was terrified the officers would start shooting, so she told them she had stepped on glass. At the hospital doctors found bullet fragments in both of her feet.

For two years that one sentence was used against her. Half the internet believed her. The other half said she was never shot and was lying to ruin his career.

In December 2022 a jury convicted Tory Lanez of three felonies, including assault with a semiautomatic firearm. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison. In 2025 he was stabbed 14 times in a California prison, and an appeals court upheld his conviction.

She still has bullet fragments in her feet. In her first TV interview about that night she broke down in tears telling Gayle King the whole story.

The one lie she told to keep everyone in that car alive is the one people still use to call her a liar.

Is 10 years enough for a man who shot a woman and tried to buy her silence, or did he get off easy?

@0xAIlabs the ferrari line is still the best one

Piers Morgan told a law student she was wasting her brain on OnlyFans. She told him she earns about double what he does. Then he asked what her future kids would think. "They can cry in a Ferrari."

Piers spent the whole interview trying to make her regret it. She never stopped smiling.

In the video below, he keeps pushing and she keeps winning.

Her name is Elle Brooke. She was a law student at university in Southampton. She saw how much money other people were earning online and thought: I can do this too. So she dropped out.

Piers tells her she obviously has a great brain. Why pack in a career as a lawyer?

Her answer: she wouldn't have made much as a solicitor anyway. "I earned that in two weeks now."

He asks how much she makes. She asks how much he makes. "Maybe, like, double that."

She won't give a number. Only that she's in the top 0.01% of OnlyFans creators "in monetary terms."

Then he tries family. Surely they're disappointed?

"My dad is dead and my mum is on my payroll."

Doing what? "Admin." Her mum doesn't brag about it at the pub, she says, but she's supportive.

Piers warns her that some people watching will think she sounds awful. She shrugs: "With a little bit of good looks and hard work, you can become a millionaire."

Even Piers admits it: "The bottom line is she's making millions doing what she enjoys doing."

His last shot: in 15 years she'll tell him he was right.

"I'll pick you up in my Bugatti."

Here's what happened after. She later said that interview basically doubled her earnings. And in January 2024 she knocked out AJ Bunker in the third round to win the Misfits Boxing women's middleweight title.

Piers thought he was watching a bright girl throw away a law career. She walked out with a viral clip, by her own account double the income, and within a year a title belt.

The person asking the questions isn't always the one in control.

@0xKorens criticism became the clip. classic

@redgreenlog thanks. the pledge vs donated part is the wildest

[coldfloat @coldfloatrp]

Amber Heard got $7,000,000 from Johnny Depp in their divorce. She said every dollar was going to charity.
Six years later, under oath: "I have not yet. Johnny sued me."

They married in 2015. She filed 15 months later. The settlement: $7 million. "6.8, exactly," she says.

Her statement: "money played no role." Half to the ACLU, half to Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

In 2018 she wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post. It never named Johnny. He sued her for $50 million.

At trial, the ACLU's lawyer said it had received $1.3 million of its $3.5 million. $350,000 came directly from Amber. The ACLU believed $500,000 came from Elon Musk.

She had testified that the entirety "was donated."
Now: "I use pledge and donation synonymous with one another."

June 2022, the jury: $10.35 million to Johnny, $2 million to Amber.
She settled for $1 million. Johnny gave all of it to five charities.

In the video below, photographers ask her in 2016 if she feels "redeemed" by the charity money. Then listen for how she explains a pledge: "When you say you buy a house..."

The case for Amber: she pledged it, and his lawsuit came before she could finish paying.
The case for Johnny: she said under oath it was "donated," and the charities got a fraction.

Did she lie about the $7 million, or did he stop her from paying?

Machine Gun Kelly pulled Kelly Kay out of Logan Paul's party and did her on the back of Logan's G-Wagon. Standing up.
Years later, she says she still has the hemorrhoid to prove it.

In the video below, she tells the full story. She calls it the craziest one she has.

It was the 100th episode of Impulsive, Logan's podcast.

She'd recorded voice bits for their soundboard, so they invited her. She didn't really know anyone there.

The guest that day? MGK. Nobody had planned it.

After the show it turned into a party at Logan's house. MGK pulled her outside.

He had one text he always sent her when he wanted her to come over. She says it was their version of "Netflix and chill."

That night there was no bed. Just the back of Logan Paul's G-Wagon, standing up.

Then she walked straight back into the party.

A couple of days later the hemorrhoid showed up. She says she still carries the cream with her.

"I love you, but you f*cked up my a**hole for life."

Why did she go along with it?

"I liked it because he liked it. I'll kind of do anything for my man."
