1: Recipient. Participate in one of those pyramid scams that always shows up in @elonmusk's replies and elsewhere.
2: Sender. Send money to a bunch of people who show up in one of those scams.
3: Recipient. Your plausible explanation for the windfall that just landed in your account is that you thought the scam was real, and hey, it apparently was!
This leads me to wonder: Are those scams just cover for laundering, that happens to also suck in some other gullible victims along the way?
I actually wonder what would happen to me, if I suddenly received some of that stolen bitcoin.
A 1xxx addie?

"Legacy addresses start with the digit “1”. These Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash (P2PKH) addresses were once the standard address type up until August 2017. Many now advise against using them. Why?
Legacy addresses incur the most expensive transaction fees when sending payments. They also limit the Bitcoin network's ability to scale. And their case-sensitive nature often causes unwanted errors."
