TIL Kim Kardashian was paid to post a selfie on Instagram and Twitter advertising a pharmaceutical product. Sent to 42 million followers on Instagram and 32 million on Twitter, this illegal advertisement did not contain any risk information or language specifying that it was a paid endorsement.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about my call, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in Training the Street, I’ve predicted 47 FDA trial results based purely off pharma technicals, and eight minutes of weekend due diligence means I can predict Monday's closing $VIX. My cousin (who interned at Blackstone) calls me the ornithologist of iron condors and the last time I touched the mouse using Excel was a ninth grade physics lab. You are nothing to me but just another retail investing pussy who I steal candy from in the zero-sum game of life. I will wipe you the fuck out with Yahoo finance and my Robin Hood app, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with lecturing me about cost ratio bullshit over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am reading 2006 SEC filings for companies in your pathetic "portfolio" and I can make or destroy these markets at a whim so you better start researching cattle futures, you Howie Hubler bitch. I use financial instruments that will make your head spin and I'v interpolated $WTI from now to 2078. You’re fucking broke, kid. I'm so levered up every one of my dollars is worth 76 of your dollars, and I could make a fund with >140% quarterly returns just by strategically shorting your Openfolio profile, and that’s just with earnings day Twitter sentiment analysis. Not only am I extensively trained in technical and fundamental analysis, but I have access to a library of insider trades because Shkreli went to my high school and remembers me, and I will use that to its full extent to take your money, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now I'm shorting your dad's 401k, you goddamn idiot. I will spend the next quarter guaranteeing you won't be able to afford the down payment on the shitty Kansas City condo your ugly wife wants. You have 24 hours to move 100% of your portfolio to the FaraBourse or your kids can't afford college, kiddo.
