a literal genius (how else can I call someone who knew how to exploit naiveness of normalfags that well?) posted that the first time under one of vitalik's post, his handle was also more similar looking to vitalik's so it was more effective, nowadays are all taken

I remember that now. That indian guy raided by /pol/ crossboarders was also a victim of that. But the funnier thing was what he lost was tron. So he'd be poor irregardless

Will find that later. Basically a guy bought tron @ ATH with his life savings and when that was not stupid enough he signed up for an airdrop which asked his private key

i don't even get how these fags do it
i tried to make a fake twitter account and got instantly blocked because the username was too close
then i made another one for another IP, and it got blocked because the picture was the same
then i switched IPs, made one with a distorted picture and several different pixels, still blocked instantly
even my REAL new twitter accounts get blocked, meanwhile these russian pajeets make @justintronsun655 with a flipped vitalik picture and their tweets stay up for months
at this point i'm convinced this is TwitterHQ themselves running these cons, and they're using retarded speech patterns to throw off people
