In a credit union it is your money that is doing the participating. They don't ask for your car keys before taking your money. These guys are taking your money but first want your twitter account ... or at least some twitter account. I assume most "customers" will create and submit dummy accounts.

In a credit union, you must give them money to purchase a share of the CU before they'll take your money -- you literally have to buy in.

Requiring a Twitter account just changes the form of payment from being all dollars.

They aren't taking your money. Did you read it?
