Tl;dr

- User was playing with OpenClaw (Clawdbot)

- It leaked Ethereum private key on stream

- Someone got the private key

- (around 11 minutes later) That person created a crypto coin in user's name

- That person posted the link to various telegram groups (speculation)

- People thought it was real and purchased it ($17k worth)

The most bizarre thing to me is why do people spend money on coins that they’ve never heard of or seen? Isn’t everything in crypto a scam by default until proven otherwise? Also, has anything ever been proven otherwise?

More like 250k worth. We live in crazy times... where you could be following a random stream and make/steal 70k with no consequences. For some reasons people on the streets get killed for robbing 50dollars but online they are dumbasses
