Many people seem to have fallen for the scam as in just the few minutes that the hack was active, it appears that over 10 bitcoin, or over $100,000 was sent to the hacker’s address.

The most offensive however is a foreign website, Zerohedge reporting the hack as “a version of a “Nigerian” bitcoin scam.”, in reference to Hushpuppi and his crew’s act.

This bitcoin of a thing is scam on its own. Only senseless mo rons would believe such tweets came from such highly placed individuals.
Since it's creation, bitcoin has been a curse to hard working people and a blessing to scammers. It cannot be traced,it was created by criminals for criminals,to hide their identity.
