A popular DeFi researcher on Twitter under the pseudonym FatManTerra found a bogus investment scheme as part of an experiment and raised over $100,000 in Bitcoin in a matter of hours.
More than 101,000 people have subscribed to FatManTerra. He is known as a former Terra supporter who actively opposed the project after its $40 billion collapse in May.
On September 5, he tweeted about allegedly gaining access to a “highly profitable bitcoin farm” from an unnamed fund, inviting subscribers to join the farm.
FatManTerra deliberately did not disclose additional details of its investment plan, but even without this information, it managed to collect $100,000 worth of bitcoins in a matter of hours.
“I want to send a clear message to everyone in the crypto world – anyone who offers you easy money is lying. Influencers who sell quick trading training or great investment opportunities are cheating on you,” he added.
FatManTerra claims to refund all the money to the users.
He added that the try was inspired by the Lady of Crypto account, which has been accused of promoting dubious investment schemes among its 257,500 subscribers.
ForkLog previously reported that attackers hacked the Twitter account of accounting firm PwC Venezuela to promote a fake XRP gift on behalf of Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse.
