You can send because it is valid, but it is impossible to get the corresponding private key (ie redeeming the money)

It seems this was a valid bitcoin address until this morning if one is able to crate such addresses than I would start to sell of my bitcoins as quick as possible

Definitely more time than the lifetime of the Sun. And it's better like that because if you can generate addresses that long in a decent duration, you can basically bruteforce the ECC
6/7/8 characters after the 1 is the maximum one can achieve without a gigarig, depending on the hardware

How to create a bitcoin address like this one? 1MatthewNWrightisaScammer124DNsfX
with vanitygen?


That would take a considerable amount of patience or luck.
He wouldn't be able to generate this address even after our Star's life..ok, maybe a bit less. Anyway, the software is called VanityGen written by samr7, available for CPU and an AMD GPU both for Windows and Linux.
