According to the messages shared, the businessman suggests moving forward with 'stories' on Instagram to promote content. 'Do you think we should move forward with the stories?

'They are three different days, they are super short stories,' the businessman explains in the chat. In another part of the conversation, Novelli suggests that Latorre could make quick money by registering on a cryptocurrency platform. 'Do you want to earn $5,000 in 5 minutes?
