LOS ANGELESIn a desperate attempt to make some quick cash, a homeless Matt Damon was forced to sell his kidney Friday after losing everything in a crypto pump and dump scheme. I know I shouldnt have put all my money in that hyped up crypto token, but it seemed like a sure thing at the time! said Damon, who was lowering himself in an ice bath at a run-down clinic just outside the city limits after being tricked into buying a fraudulent cryptocurrency right before the price crashed. I already sold all the plasma I could to try to pay off the money I borrowed, and Im feeling really weak. But what else am I supposed to do? God, they said Diarrhea Coin was going to make me filthy rich. What the hell was I thinking? Not only do I not have any money, now I wont even have my fucking kidney. At press time, Damon reportedly learned about a new cryptocurrency that was sure to turn everything around for him.

They're pushing crypto so hard, it HAS to be a con, or at least multi level marketing
