How is that bad? The girls get a foot into Raytheon that they probably wouldn’t anyway, because the industry is sexist. And Raytheon gets to pad their diversity numbers and still have high quality employees.
gitspamdum is a bot, I just created a fake account and bid for 999 trillions, no verification were requested in the whole process and 1 nanosecond later gitspamdum bid after me, I tried this twice, my only purpose was to expose the absurdity of the whole thing, if Proton really take this thing seriously please just cancel all auctions and place them in a serious website

Look at that. An email address that will be instantly added to every spammers list. And they know the owner has money too.
