Handout instead of profit, few thousand instead of half a million USD value—we are moving into a more realistic territory.

I have no reason to believe that the commenter misrepresented anything. It is entirely plausible. If their friend was a liquidity provider then the value of friend's airdropped tokens would have been much greater than mine.
Being a liquidity provider is not free so we’re back to some guy claiming “my friend made half a million! rewards are vast for the brave!” and the question “but on what investment?”

I believe it’s more than fair to request specifics since we can’t know whether poster’s solvency depends on a token appreciating in value—after all, if it does, what’s a better way to maintain token value than promise millions on a public forum?

I had 3 accounts and made about 5k USD of the airdrop. No reason 500k couldn't have happened if someone was providing liquidity to the protocol.
