Yesterday, McDonalds India's X account was taken over by a rogue intern, or possibly, a group of crypto scammers. I turned it into a full length novel ????????

Welcome to Burger Royale, may I take your order please?

Five hackers. One fast food empire. A memecoin called BURGERRUG.

The plan was simple: plant Arjun inside Burger Royale India as an intern, hijack their verified social media accounts, run a viral sob story about an exploited worker to maximize eyeballs, then pivot to a Solana-based memecoin and rug pull the internet at peak attention.

The crew leader is Meera — sharp, ruthless, brilliant — who designed every phase of the operation. Arjun's job is to get in, go viral, and get out rich.

But nobody planned for Kavitha.

A Harvard-educated executive who runs Burger Royale India like her personal kingdom, Kavitha takes an interest in the new intern.

The kind of interest that starts with "I see your potential" and ends with late-night texts, locked office doors, and the words "I own you." The kind of interest that leaves former employees haunted and silent behind NDAs nobody talks about.

Now Arjun's fake posts about being an abused intern start accidentally mirroring what's actually happening to him on the 38th floor. The crew thinks his increasingly unhinged tweets are brilliant improv.

They're not. "I literally starve every day because I lose all my money on memecoins" is simultaneously the con AND the truth. The internet is laughing while something genuinely dark is unfolding inside the building.

Meanwhile, Arjun is falling for the one person he can't afford to fall for — Meera, the crew leader who put him there. She's watching him deteriorate through Devi's vitals dashboard and telling herself it's method acting. She designed the heist. She didn't design catching feelings for the front man.

The heist goes sideways. The memecoin goes vertical. The internet makes its judgment. And Meera has to choose between a $20 million score and the man she sent into the belly of the beast.

Ocean's Eleven meets The Office meets Bollywood, with the internet as a Greek chorus and a gender-reversed harassment thriller underneath the comedy. For anyone who's ever been told they should be grateful for the privilege of being exploited.
