Another hacked verified account posting garbage https://twitter.com/GMacdonaldMSP/status/1361143214560919554 there are other accounts too This is ridiculous. Hundreds of engineers being paid $200k/year + but cannot figure out how to stop verified accounts (and non verified accounts_) from constantly being hijacked to post obvious spam . Even though this scam is as old as dirt, people keep falling for it, and wallets with hundred+ incoming transactions from victims are not uncommon, with many bitcoins stolen. It is a never ending spigot of victims , made worse by celebrities' tweeting about bitcoin, extreme gullibility, and cluelessness.
