Twitter disables tweeting from blue check accounts after failing to get a grip on almost 2 hours of consecutive hacks.

I’m wondering... perhaps it was a money laundering scheme or similar, and those that actually sent money knew/were in on it. Those that sent aren’t scrutinized as much and can claim they fell for a scheme when really they were paying for some particular... services
Why would you need a scheme this complex to launder bitcoin?
You can just wash it by splitting it up and trading it between multiple currencies before spending.
Oh lookie here, we got us a real life money launderer!!
J/k
I wouldn't know how to even begin to launder money besides what I saw on breaking bad.
Or “sell” something you don’t have on eBay, collect the money, don’t send the product (obviously the buyer is in on it). Now you have legit income. Pay your taxes on it and enjoy your money. Ever wonder why you see things listed on eBay with whacked out prices and they sell? This is why.
You know, like a Wayfair cabinet.
And if the person fails to give the right Shibboleths you send them a normal cabinet, or a weird statue or w.e the listing was actually for.
That was exactly my thoughts. To send Bitcoin, these "victims" would have to be very knowledgeable in it and technology. And have those thousands in their accounts with easy access. I know people with Bitcoin, besides myself, and we don't have that much money in Bitcoin. If we ever managed to have $1,000, it's for sure we wouldn't send it all in just because a Twitter post said we'd get double back if we sent it in. The "offer" was only for 30 minutes, it said. How did so many people with that much in Bitcoin know to look at these blue checked accounts right at that time these were tweeted, unless it was planned??

What is Monero?
Yeah. That would be pretty epic.
