How is this still a scam? This scam was quite common in 2017/2018 when Bitcoin and other digital currencies were popular.
 
Another example of gullible people being separated from their money.

Now this really breaks my heart. As if these guys don't have problems enough trying to figure out ways to buy shit they don't need.

Man, I want to get me a free $1,000. What's that address again.
 
This tells us 2 things.

Americans are stupid, and Elon and Bill, for all their money and smarts, are still stupid enough to click on random links for porn.

What happened was someone at twitter was socially engineered to give up access.

All verified accounts were taken under control.

Nothing to do with musk or gates. So people apparently sent bitcoin, but that is the law of averaged, same reason why people send out spam emails, very low percentage of people are gullible enough to think its legit.

Are you saying that that Nigerian King wanting to transfer all that
cash to the United States but just needed a bank account number to place it in was not on the level with me? How can I retrieve my bank account number with my life savings in it from him?

I don't know what that means. I just know than an awful lot of scams originated in Nigeria, so much so that years ago the FBI had to set up a special task force. I recall that one guy was arrested in Nigeria.
Why make an issue out of a non issue? It's got zero to do with sking color.
If you don't recall all these incidents then you must be young. There was a crime ring over there with many victims. I think our two governments worked out a deal.
 
Three young friends - including a teen who lives in his mom's basement and another with the username 'lol' - hijacked Twitter's most high-profile accounts in a Bitcoin scam that spiraled out of control
  • Fresh details emerge in the massive security breach at Twitter on Wednesday
  • Hackers targeted more than 130 accounts, many of them high-profile
  • Attack originally began as an attempt to take over rare, coveted accounts
  • Known as 'OG accounts' they consist of a single character or short word
  • Mysterious hacker 'Kirk' with admin access worked with two young brokers
  • Brokers sold OG accounts such as @6 to eager gamers before attack escalated
