Let's remember that folks: Rajat Khare, the co-founder of Appin, has zero, no connection with hackers-for-hire markets and he hired people to erase his name from several articles around the globe to be not associated with it in any way.

BREAKING: Rajat Khare, the co-founder of Appin, achieved negative connection to hackers-for-hire markets. His vast philantropy project called 'DONT' now pays every person in the world a cent a day for them not to do any hacks, even ethical ones. A quickly mounting price that would amount to $160 mil by tomorrow and $400 mil by the end of the week doesn't scare the billionaire. In an exclusive interview with The Reporter, he said, quote: 'Honestly, I hate money. Just yesterday I was hungry late at night and I tried to eat a bar of gold, thinking it may be a chocolate one. Nah. Fucking gold. For the sake of my own dental health, I though, let's just get rid of these'. Although one cent is not enough to thrive even in the poorest states, that's the first experiment in a worldwide UBI. When asked directly, if he's secretly a left-leaner, Rajat was rendered inaccessible due to repeatedly picking dollar bills out of his safe and burning them with a weird fascination.
