It all started when I found this account called ''BitHades'' claiming to do insane crypto giveaways. He claims to own about 1m Bitcoin (biggest bs ever) according to his bio; ''Worlds Greatest Trader - Humble Crypto Expert - I manage over 980,000 Bitcoin. I have 100% IQ and 100% success rate.

How do I know this? I had a chat with the account on Twitter when it still was called BitHades. This person/group built a huge network stirring their followers to certain Telegram groups where they can get ''1 on 1 crypto trading counseling' or be part of an ''investment fund''.
