Fact check: Is the Crowds on Demand founder who says their company was offered and declined around $20M to appear at a protest against dc occupation

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, Adam Swart, CEO of Crowds on Demand, did claim his company was offered $20 million to recruit protesters for anti-Trump demonstrations ^[1]. However, the sources consistently indicate that none of the analyses specify whether this offer was specifically for a protest against DC occupation ^{[1] [2]}.

The analyses reveal that the sources do not confirm whether Swart's company accepted or declined the $20 million offer ^{[1] [2]}. Additionally, the sources report that Crowds on Demand has experienced a 400% increase in requests for paid protesters under the Trump administration ^{[2] [3]}.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks several crucial pieces of context that emerge from the analyses:

• The $20 million offer was specifically for "anti-Trump demonstrations," not necessarily a protest against DC occupation ^[1]
• No source confirms whether the offer was actually declined, as suggested in the original question ^{[1] [2]}
• The broader context of a 400% surge in paid protester requests during the Trump era provides important background about the company's current business environment ^[2]

Alternative viewpoints that could benefit from this narrative include:

• Political operatives seeking to discredit grassroots movements by suggesting protests are artificially manufactured
• Media organizations looking to generate controversy around protest authenticity
• Companies like Crowds on Demand that benefit from increased visibility and demand for their services

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question contains several potentially misleading elements:

• It assumes the offer was declined without confirmation from sources - the analyses indicate this detail is not verified ^{[1] [2]}
• It specifies the protest was "against DC occupation" when sources only mention "anti-Trump demonstrations" ^{[1] [2]}
• The phrasing suggests the founder would personally "appear at" the protest, when sources indicate the offer was to "recruit protesters," not for personal appearance ^[1]

These discrepancies suggest the original question may be based on incomplete or inaccurate information, potentially conflating different aspects of Swart's public statements about his company's operations.
