Discovered this in my closet under all of my clothes, after having a horrible sneezing fit all weekend. Please give advice, how screwed am I?

Hey guys I'm worried I've been hit pretty bad by this stuff.

Location: USA, Michigan, Ann Arbor

I started feeling ill and fatigued last week and thought I may have had the flu or allergy to dust, so I started cleaning my apartment. That didn't help and over the weekend I started having a horrible reaction to the air in my studio apartment. I kept sneezing non-stop and my throat and sinus was itchy. I started wearing a KN95 but it didn't help so I just slept in my car that night. Woke up went to the clinic, went to the property manager to get maintenance to inspect, and we discovered this behind all my clothes at around noon. I'm honestly shocked.

Maintenance waited until the end of the day (4:30 pm) to send an un-announced maintenance worker with a spray bottle and no PPE to "spray down the wall". Given that I still had all of my personal belongings inside the apartment, and a mold inspector told me not to let them spray down my wall, I denied him entry into he apartment. He left, talked to his boss, and then came back and said it was an emergency and he had to spray it down. I denied him again and he left. The property manager then gave me a call and said since I did not permit them to enter, I would not receive a new unit to stay in, so I slept in my car for another night.

Since then, they've been dodging meeting with me, and I'm now an unhoused PhD Student sleeping on my friends couches. I've gotten an chest x-ray (normal) and mold allergen panel blood test done (abnormal 7.35 kU/L), and I'm taking a Mold Binder daily. Just before the office closed for the day, they offered me a new unit, but wouldn't let me negotiate the terms of the lease or offer compensation for the laundry and cleaning I have to do. I apparently have to wait until Friday to discuss it with corporate. My university has assigned me a lawyer, and I've reported this to the city, county, and state health departments.

A couple questions:

  1. How messed up can my health be? My chest feels tight, throat is still itchy, and sinus is congested. No more sneezing though.
  2. Should I get a mold inspector here ASAP to take samples and image for water damage?
  3. Can I get compensated for this by a lawsuit? I'm in Michigan and apparently we don't have any law or regulations for mold.

Please help.

Is this guy from Gaza scamming my friend?

Hey people.

My friend has a contact in Gaza who's requesting we transfer funds to him via Tron. He's been donating to his gofundme, started a local charity for him, and has moved to cryptocurrency to reduce the amount of fees and time to send the money. I've volunteered to do this for my friend since I have more experience using cryptocurrencies, but there's so many suspicious things about his account.

  1. While Tron is being used fairly actively in Gaza, he said he's using something called KAST wallet, which I've never heard of before. When I asked him to switch to a different wallet, like Binance or Metamask, or a custodial wallet, he didn't understand.

  2. This is his address:
    https://tronscan.org/#/address/TMQ6enH9QqXTYJhRjm6fobywiFaCvKfseW/transfers

Every time money is transferred into his account its immediately sent to another wallet within seconds. This makes me suspect this wallet is a bot or contract, because its hard to believe someone in Gaza is able to make transactions this quickly. They all go to the same wallet that has a ton of currency in it. Could be an exchange wallet, could be a vendor hes trading for NIS, I really don't know. I also don't know to what extent hes receiving crypto for other families either.

  1. This is a web of the account transfers in and out of the wallet:
    https://intel.arkm.com/tracer/d057f88d-f906-4543-8bec-a0aeeba380a9

Besides my own transfer and the binance exchange wallets, every other transfer are from accounts who are sending between each other. This is extremely suspicious.

As well it seems like this is actually an exchange wallet from something called ChangeHero? Which is located in Belize and has a lot of bad reviews.

We have to transfer some more funds to him today, so I'd appreciate your input beforehand. Is there any questions I can ask or analysis I can do to say clearly he is a scammer or not? I don't want to accuse an innocent person in a war zone and potentially take away their last lifeline, but I also cant shake the suspicious feeling.

No politics please.
