Elon Musk scammers on Twitter earning a fortune

This is just nuts when you consider how persistent the problem is, how much money these guys make, and the inability of twitter to do anything.

here is one of them

I found at least four separate individuals doing this. Each address as of the 5th of march has BTC in it, between .05 to .35, and all within the past day. So people still falling for this. Never ending stream of victims.

These ppl are making more than even quants, execs, consultants, etc. Earning just .5 btc/day at today's prices is about 10-15x more than a Janes Street 5-year quant (someone who has been at the firm for 5 years according to salry data online, but I dunno if it includes bonusses). Or a Google L6-L8 engineer. That is approaching Goldman Sachs top exec level salaries. Goes to show crime can sometimes pay , at least for crypto and twitter. After factoring in taxes, the diffeence is even greater. I am guessing these guys reside in eastern bloc countries and are not paying taxes.
