Duped? How? By getting paid?
Oopsie I was just so confused by this giant bag of cash!
I'm sure at least some of them truly believed they were worth more than shit
Be nice to me, I'M the victim here!
Whenn your livelihood depends on not noticing something, you'd be amazed how oblivious some people can be.
My job dupes me into coming in every night by uploading some wacky numbers to my bank account every two weeks. I fall for it every time.
The U.S. Justice Department doesn’t allege any wrongdoing by the influencers, some of whom it says were given false information about the source of the company’s funding.

TN based. So again, "duped".
By getting paid
