Hi, I'm Mike Papantonio, and this is America's Lawyer. Pranksters on Twitter were able to wipe out billions of dollars for some of the worst companies in America and it only cost them $8 to do it. We'll tell you how that happened. The United States is provoking China by deploying nuclear capable bombers to let the country know what we can do. Yeah, we can start a nuclear war. And the 2024 Republican presidential race is shaping up to be a bloodbath between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. All that more. Don't go anywhere. America's Lawyer starts right now.

Some clever Twitter users managed to wipe out billions worth of major US corporation stock by pretending that the companies were actually doing something good. God forbid they should do something good, Farron. But joining me to talk about that is Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins. Yeah, that's the irony that you said, before the show, that, that God forbid they should do something like give out insulin for the right price. Right? Pick it up from there.

Yeah. So, once they unveiled Twitter Blue last week, which has already been suspended, but people were able to buy the little blue check mark to make it look like it was an official account.

Mm-hmm.

So the pranksters, the smart folks, I gotta say they're not just pranksters, they're very smart. They buy these handles that make it look like we're Eli Lilly or Lockheed Martin. They get on there, they tweet, Eli Lilly says, we've, we're announcing insulin is now free for everybody. Lockheed Martin, the fake account tweets out, we're gonna stop selling weapons to Saudi Arabia. And immediately the stock market freaks out. Both of these companies just saw, I mean, you look at the charts, it's just an immediate drop. $15 billion in wealth wiped out.

Yeah.

With people who spent $8, killed these companies for a day.

Well, it was impersonation scam they went on. It was fairly sophisticated, but it was well done. And, you know, to me that is the message. Can you imagine that Eli Lilly, who we've sued so many times, they're, they're just one of the corrupt drug companies. I've been across the table in depositions with these folks wondering, am I gonna make it outta here because I'm surrounded by sociopaths on the other side of the table? That's how these companies think. But God forbid, I mean, you know, what is it a thousand, it was 10,000, 10000% markups sometimes that we see drug companies, 2000, 10,000, 5,000 markup. We, the latest story was on COVID vaccine where they wanna raise 10000% increase.

Yep.

Okay. Well, that's nobody's fault, is nobody's fault except Congress. Okay. They could stop it immediately. They could, they could end all of this immediately. But what I loved about this story is it called attention to the fact of just what money grubbers these folks are. And God forbid somebody should do something good, which is what these stories were. Right?

Yeah, absolutely. And, and it, to me, it also shows that guess what the public, I, I know we, we always talk about, it feels like people don't pay attention, what they posted on these fake Twitter accounts, it shows that there are people who pay attention.

Mm-hmm.

There are people who do understand what Lockheed Martin is doing, what Eli Lilly, what Nestle is doing.

Yeah.

There was another Nestle one, and God, you and I have gone hours talking about the, Nestle might be the worst company on the planet.

Mm-hmm.
