This user has posted a link to a CoinDesk phishing site (CoinDesk.us) under the reasoning of an article on Bitcoin's Downfall. This article prompts you to then download an EXE file to view the presentation.
I am sure this is malware for two reasons, the first being that the EXE file has a description of 'Windows Explorer', perhaps suggesting that it was a file which would be injected into System32 or was created to look legit. The other is VirusTotal showing signs of malware on this file (https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/c3a3aab15b2c17f2e9e856962a534248f9a71d7a6dc26f283992c371fa34c76a/analysis/1439996343/), one especially sticks out as it is labeled 'MSIL/CoinStealer.W!tr.pws'.
Avoid any links posted by this user, and never run any EXE file that is not trusted.
