- rkho 3y agoI remember blue checks were being given out for free mostly to celebrities, do you have a source on him doing so for gold ones? As an aside I'm not a big fan of the lack of diligence in verifying orgs for the gold check, it's enabling a lot of bad actors who are willing to pay the thousand dollars for a quick crypto scam.
