Overview
Rapper 50 Cent made $8.7 million in shares by shilling a marketing company on Twitter.
Gigwise reports that 50 Cent dabbled in some suspicious stock market dealing, by recommending shares to his 3.8 million Twitter followers.
He recommended his fans buy shares in a company called H&H, which houses a marketing firm called TV Goods run by an ex-reality TV star.
He tweeted 'You can double your money right now. Just get what you can afford'.
Thing is, he has received 30 million shares in the company last year.
Then he promoted TV Goods products on his Twitter account, which no doubt helped their share price.
Following his weekend of stock market manipulation, the price went up 39 cents, scoring him almost $8 million.
It'd be comforting to presume this is imaginary money, but Fiddy could dump his shares now and buy a few new houses, leaving his fans hanging out to dry.
The system works.
