I also created a similar thread in the Bitcoin Discussion board: Steve Wozniak Sues YouTube Over Twitter-Like Bitcoin Scam. And may I suggest that you locked this thread.
Steve Wozniak is suing YouTube for allowing scammers to use his name and likeness in phony bitcoin giveaways.
According to the lawsuit, filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, crooks have been posting videos on the platform claiming that Wozniak is hosting a bitcoin promotion. They convince users that if they send bitcoin to a provided address, “Wozniak” will return double the amount.
YouTube has featured a steady stream of scam videos and promotions that falsely use images and videos of Plaintiff Steve Wozniak, and other famous tech entrepreneurs, and that have defrauded YouTube users out of millions of dollars,” the complaint reads.
