She’s the principal not a student.

Imagine the stories senior citizens would tell if their social security were to be invested in the stock market. Imagine a Nana watching a bitcoin commercial and going all in.

The same reason the nigerian prince needs your bank account info to unfreeze his assets.
The same reason the Asian trophy wife needs to give you 6k so she can come to America.
I don't do this for anybody but if you want to turn that 100k into 10 mill by Friday via crypto I got you. I'm Elon Musk I can do anything.
The audacity of using Elon Musk is comical but maybe that's why it worked. LOL
