Genie never said they'd give me a 100M to spend in the first place. No way I'd be able to spend 100M that I don't have.
This reminds me of a scam I fell for in Eve Online once
I wonder whether Eve has more or less scams per capita (player) than Roblox or Runescape
On an unrelated note, anyone want me to trim their armor? 50k for colored trim, 100k for gold trim. Totally legit!
this is exactly how i learned what a scam was 20 years ago
Find someone rich who would believe you have this pact with a génie, and promise them a 100% ROI.
Thinking of it, that's not the worst idea for a new ~~sect~~ religion...
Dibs on playing the genie
First get the spending money then do it. In a non-refundable unable to be altered manner (ignoring the magicially manifesting money part)
Or worse if he does, how do you prove to all the anti-money-laundering watchdogs you got free money from a genie? Will you be able to gain control over your instantly conviscated money in 30 days?
