Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

He's lying. 100%.
There is no way he did any of that without help from his existing network and connections, if he did it at all (again, I personally do not believe a single word of it).
of course he is lying. how do you sell furniture if you are homeless? what furniture do you have to sell? where is it stored? how do you transport it?
lots of questions that make this account dubious at best.
If you read the article you find that he didn't actually sell furniture, he got people on Facebook marketplace to pay him money for the privilege of collecting free furniture from Craigslist. It's a really shitty scheme
He did use existing network but the furniture was from the Craigslist free section and re-sold on fb marketplace. He arranged transport etc (unsure how, don't remember)
