The Twitter account of celebrity investor Kevin O’Leary was hacked on Thursday and used to promote a bitcoin and ethereum giveaway scam, Bitcoin.com reported. The hacker claims that Mr. Wonderful (Kevin O’Leary) is giving away 5,000 BTC and 15,000 ETH, and the tweet also provides a link so anyone can participate. The scam giveaway posts have now been removed by Twitter a few hours after they were posted.
