It's all real..it's insane. I don't think the media, policy makers understand the scope of the problem. Literally anyone with a crypto acocunt and who watches youtube is at risk. We're talking millions of people. In the span of two weeks youtube scammers earned as much as the colonel pipeline hack, but no media coverage, no fbi invovement.
I have never seen anything like this. It makes even Walter White's fictitious drug empire seem like a amateur hour by comparison in terms of net profit and just the massive scale of this operation. Even hollywood cannot create a better crime than this.
90% of the victim wallets in these scams are Coinbase wallets. I do not know why lawmakers and attorney generals are not taking this more seriously given that Coinbase is an American company and Americans are being defrauded to the tune of millions of dollars a week. Crypto crime is bigger than drug crime given that crypto is worth $2 trillion. It should be taken as seriosly as such.
Although there are many people doing this scam on youtube, this individual(s) is the most successful by a large margin having stolen about $8 million of shibe alone and millions of dollars worth of eth on other scams:
there is a market for stolen accounts

But I don't know where the fake concurrent live viewers come from, shows 5-20k online.
