This scam has been running for years with different videos but always the same thing about getting back double of what you send. It became like a meme sentence. It is good that you see it as an obvious scam but I worry that many people seem to fall into this, because they keep doing the same for years so it must be profitable for the scammers. I cannot understand.
I'm familiar with the old scams from the last bull market using Saylor. They were different. They used real Saylor audio/video while banners along the margins laid out the scale. These new ones seem to use ai of Saylor's actual voice, and may be more convincing.

oh... wow, the voice and the image? Now I want to see it. Fake AI videos are going to be very dangerous as they improve the quality each month.
Of course they improve the method but in the end, the send me 1 and you receive back 2, doesn't seem to change and it is so obvious as you said. Maybe more intelligent scammers appear and do other more credible videos, which is worrying.

Exactly my feelings. Honestly the only real tell (besides the 1 for 2 absurdity) was that his mouth movements were slightly off. If they can resolve that it would be scarily realistic.

Yes. I also think there was a Microstrategy livestream scam a few years back.
