Here's are some examples, tweets from Barack Obama.

Tweets from Joe Biden, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos.

It's unfortunate that this makes Bitcoin look bad. I really hate scammers.

I agree with you. And I can't believe 383 people believe that the tweets are legitimate and sent their bitcoin.

Why would they have any reason to doubt? The majority of people haven't received enough of the right kind of educational instruction to recognize even a basic scam on the phone or in email, let alone a scam that required the sophistication and technical understanding of this one. Personally, I have to wonder how hard of an exploit it was for hackers to get in...And how often this is going to happen.

It doesn't actually say for certain that "Kirk" did it, and that isn't actually a trace, or so it appears. I think @ahlawat meant a trace to find out the actual person who did this. I doubt that will be easy to do unless the hacker was careless and left behind clues, such as not hiding his/her IP address via a proxy/VPN.
I certainly hope this person's caught and their Bitcoins confiscated.
