Detectives in Kuwait have been called to investigate several social media influencers for money laundering, according to reports.
Arabic publication Al-Jarida cited sources as confirming the notices regarding more than 10 bank accounts belonging to social media stars.
The sources said the balances in some of the accounts exceeded millions of Kuwaiti dinars and the ‘fashionista’ owners would need to prove their source of income. [Source]
I clearly must be doing blogging wrong…

Mark,
Your blog impacts hundreds of thousands of people like me every day. Your contribution to Kuwait and its inhabitants is of much greater value than money in your account that you would have made by pushing products that you yourself may not believe in.
Cheers!
Well said!
I do not follow ANY of the so called insta paid influencers but I do read 248am every single day.
This blog has been on my bookmarks tab for years now. Thanks for your contribution Mark.
Here’s another thank you for you to put in your thank you bank 😛
I can’t buy a McLaren Senna with thank yous 😭😭😭
It’s probably a good thing I don’t have millions since I would probably end up doing something absurd like buying a Ferrari F40 and using it as my daily driver
If you have millions, that wouldn’t be absurd. That would be normal.
Seriously though, I don’t see why you cannot add some revenue from social media. You already have the content and the viewers. It’s not easy to get in front of the camera, but you don’t need to be charismatic. People follow you for your content, not your image.
This is what “real” blogging actually is. Informative, useful,genuine and beneficial to its readers. Unfortunately most people dont understand or value this type of blogging as much as the fashionista jibberish, which is of zero substance yet look at all the money people are earning them.
Guys your encouragement is appreciated but please make too much off it..
Mark might get encouraged to start a subscription idea coz he knows we are all addicted to his blog…
The man has needs you know and Lord know maintenance of the Lotus aint cheap..
LOL 🙂
I meant to say dont make too much of it 😉
Good. It’s about time someone did something about this freak show. Another law that has passed is prevention of child exploitation for income on social media.
You are in our heart man
Wait…. you dont have the millions?? pix or it didnt happen
If I did have millions I would have purchased and reviewed the 1M Hauly Heist bag for the blog!

is that bag a joke or its just me i didn’t get the purpose of the bag
its for when you are in a “breaking bad” situation and want to move money discreetly.
I don’t know about that particular brand but in reality yes there are legitimate uses and situations where you find your self having to carry large amounts of cash. Think about construction works in remote areas of africa or third world countries as example.
