Can we stop calling these vids deep fakes? You can tell it's an AI algorithm right off the bat, even the lip-synch is way off and the tone of voice is abysmal. They are very piss-poor shallow fakes at best. Every night I browse crypto feeds on YT I get hit by the same Saylor ads. These are the same ones that's been spamm2ed on YT for years. Nothing new here. Youtube's mantra the last few years is to shut down channels for being too far right, or too 'based' in content. They don't care about crooks. See, fraud is not the same thing as 'hate speech'. The latter takes priority in their queue.
I used the QR code to see their website and it gives a wallet address to send the bitcoin to. Can’t that wallet be traced? I mean if they try to convert the BTC into cash?
Leave it to the Canucklehead to bring politics into it. Fraud is fraud. YouTube is massive. Whack-a-mole to the max. They're get to it when they get to it, no matter the spin, fraud, or crap. Read another book, that the book burners haven't got to yet, in the meantime.
You would think the FBI would be all over these ads, but aparantly they don't care. Facebook is full of scam ads too, the other day I saw a ad for acid shrooms and extasy, right in front of my face. Unbelievable what you can get away with now
I seldom report such cases. If I were to report such cases, 24 hrs / day is not enough. Because there millions of such cases. I let other people do the reporting. I only do the reporting if the case is bothering me. I prefer to spend my resources looking for trading opportunities rather than looking for scammers and reporting such cases.
