5linx
5LINX is a corporation, created in the early 2000's, whose chief export is despair. They have formed a business model by which willing participants donate $500, along with their hopes and dreams, and are given a steaming pile of desolation in return. Often, investors will be encouraged to purchase other products as well, including unreliable phone service and 5LINX paraphernalia; it is unclear if this enhances their enjoyment of the destruction of their lives.
