Why can't the scammers just do it the old-fashioned way? Start a mining company and market it as having a "world class asset with a great management team". 😁

I'd love to see what would happen if Ferg got his hands on one of these scammers. You don't mess with a guy that lists BBJ as a hobby LOL.

That's when I'll know that I made it: when I have clowns impersonating me on Substack and Twitter. :)

I’m curious if these Scammers are capable of using a legit owner’s β€œhandle/name” within the Substack domain and posting a URL link in the same manner as I’ve seen on YouTube for years. That would open up Substack to hacking via seemingly legit looking links.
