Family loses 12k of Bitcoin to Elon Musk livestream YouTube scam

  Exactly what kind of help do they want? They seem very keen on blaming everyone else but themselves. It sucks to be scammed, but paying $12k to learn what due diligence is, is a cheap lesson.

  These scams have been going on for years. I know I've reported a number of them. YouTube doesn't take them down.

    Arguably, they are part of the nature of crypto. If you don't see the weak being eaten by predators, you don't belong in that ecosystem.

  Let me level with you chief - if you have self-custody of 12k in Bitcoin then this was bound to happen to you sooner or later.

    No one said the family had self-custody.

  They did not lose 12k btc. They lost $12k worth of btc. Huge difference. Headline needs a dollar sign.

  It will have been a "send me bitcoin and I'll send you double back" scam. Greed and low-IQ is a bad combination. Natural selection at work.
