Someone messed up recently, and here’s what happened:

First, they used Photoshop to fake some content for clout and got caught. Their technical skills weren’t up to par, so they were instantly socially ruined. Faced with solid evidence, there was no way to talk their way out of it—they just had to admit it.

But that wasn’t the end of the story—trying to salvage their image, they quickly spent money on charity. The purpose of this move was obvious: as soon as the donation was made, they took a screenshot and posted it on their Moments to show everyone “how caring I am.”

If you’ve already spent the money, how could you not show it off? It’s a textbook example of crisis PR, but the public can always see right through it.

I've seen this trick too many times—getting exposed for photoshopping and then relying on donations to whitewash it. It's really unbelievable.

Ha, this trick is so outdated. Faking photos and still flaunting charity—do they really think we're all blind? If you spend money, you have to show it off? That logic is wild. Another textbook example of spending hard cash just to whitewash themselves—hilarious. Is this it? Still trying to save their image? Better work on your skills first. I've seen this move plenty of times: donate money, take photos, post them online, and then what? Still going down. What era is this? Still playing these games? People are really sharp nowadays. Can money really wash away a reputation? I seriously doubt it. Even photo edits get exposed—what else can you expect? Classic case of spending money for peace of mind, but it just looks even more fake. At this rate, the more you explain, the worse it gets, bro.

Haha, this move is really something—spending money to buy an image, as if everyone on the other side of the screen is blind.

Haha, this trick is so lame, spending money to whitewash yourself is just too obvious. --- Even donations have to be posted on social media, isn't that just being obsessed with money? --- They really think we're fools, caught faking images red-handed and still trying to make a comeback. --- These days, doing good deeds has to be broadcasted to the whole world—what's so good about that? --- So funny, the money was spent but the persona is already ruined. --- Poor skills but still insisting on faking it—how confident must you be? --- This crisis PR routine doesn't work on us Web3 people anymore. --- Thinking a small donation can whitewash the fake images? What a joke. --- The public truly has sharp eyes, they see right through that hypocrisy. --- This is truly a negative example—so amateurish.

I've seen this trick so many times. Your Photoshop skills are so bad and you still dare to post it—you deserve to get exposed. That whole "donate money to whitewash yourself" routine, and the joy of not being able to block the comments. Really have too much money with nowhere to spend, have to rely on charity to stay relevant. How much is this crappy persona even worth? It collapses in no time. Yet another idiot who thinks posting screenshots in their Moments can turn things around.
