- enraged_camel 6y agoIt might also be that impersonating a government official is a serious crime. Sure, the hackers here have committed a crime, but this was more of an embarrassment for Twitter than anything else. If they had posted from Trump's account though...
- manquer 6y agoIt is also that many people will not think it is a hack . Trump does post all sorts of things . There is no tweet from his acc will surprise me that he actually posted it

- manquer 6y agoIf they actually wanted bitcoin yeah, if they wanted to show that twitter is vulnerable not so much
- huy-nguyen 6y agoNYT article says that Trump's account is under special "lock and key" protection.
