A poorly made deepfake video of Sam Bankman-Fried shilling a fake crypto giveaway went viral on the weekend.
The video uses appears to be old interview footage of Bankman-Fried and used a voice emulator to create the illusion of him saying “as you know our F-DEX [sic] exchange is going bankrupt, but I hasten to inform all users that you should not panic.”
The fake Bankman-Fried then directs users to a website saying FTX has “prepared a giveaway for you in which you can double your cryptocurrency” in an apparent"double-your-crypto" scam where users send crypto under the promise they'll receive double back., leading to scammers posting a link to the scam website — which now appears to have been taken offline.
The crypto community has pointed to the fact that scammers were able to pay a small fee in order to get Twitter’s “blue tick” verification in order to appear authentic.ridiculing how the scam production pronounced “FTX” in the video, saying they’re “definitely using [...] ‘Effed-X’ from now on.”
