One of the richest BTC owner out there, Chamath Palihapitiya is being used by cyber criminals as well. And this is fake and there's no way that Chamath is going away 5000 BTC or ETH for that matter.

I checked those bitcoin address:

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1PFjPpBurRiz4BZY1RSQU8nv6zK5UJ7xBo - with 0.04610204 BTC

While the vanity address, https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1ChamathjZAYU66Ex4TgkKYbiESCCBeYTu - hasn't got any bitcoin yet. Although the first address has bitcoin on it, we can't be sure if they have victimised noobs already or it is their own bitcoin to make it more persuasive and think that it is indeed going to give back to those who are going to send. But this is obvious a trap and we do hope that no noobs are going to fall for this scheme.

Now that it is posted in this board, I think that there will be less noobs that are going to be a likely victim of this scam although that hope is riding on the fact that they are reading this or at least referring to this board whenever there is something like this land on their lap. To the noobs out there that are still having doubts that this is a scam, think of it, how it didn't come from the mouth of Chamath that he is giving away 5k bitcoin and it is not making headlines, he is a big deal venture capitalist and I think that when he says he is doing something like this, I think that it will create news.
