So, they made a series of videos breaking down financial jargon into memes. The first post hit 100k views in like 2 days! It got people digging and sharing info they found. TikTok detectives in action! :magnifying_glass_tilted_right:

Totally happened! The local news picked it up, then national. They traced his accounts and now thereā€™s an investigation. Kids with smartphones: 1, Corrupt dude: 0. :woman_tipping_hand:

True, it could affect real investigations. But gotta admit, itā€™s a cool way to crowdsource corruption scandals. People love exposing shady stuff. :loudspeaker:
