(55,536 posts)"The ad also said participants would receive a flat fee of $1,000 paid in cryptocurrency, which could be poking fun at Trump's crypto-related ventures.
Fight Fight Fight LLC, the company listed in the ad as providing payment to seat fillers, administers Trump's meme coin. A customer support representative for the meme coin's website, gettrumpmemes.com, told Snopes via an emailed statement: "It's fake, we have nothing to do with it."
