unless it is sombedy that has acess to the admin panel

Base on the report it is, one of the employee's account was compromised which has access/manage the verified twitter accounts and not an inside job.

It maybe not so clear as it seems at first glance. There were so many possible ways for hackers to get their hand on accounts' access so I am not really sure if it is an inside job. But obviously Twitter employees are main suspects

That’s a lousy scam tactic but many people still fall for it specially those who are new to this market. I don’t know why but I kind of admire hackers for the types of stunts they pull out every time just like this one. Hacking accounts of so many well-known people are not an easy task and involves a lot of risk still somehow, they manage to surprise us.

People who fall for this kind of scams surely learn the lesson that they will want to hold on for the rest of their life i.e. money doesn’t come that easy, you need to work for it. The same scam tactic is used by some hackers using the name of Binance which is carried out by making telegram groups.

I'm thinking more about those people who were greedy enough to believe all that shit even if it is from few of the most highly trusted as well as followed Twitter accounts. If Binance comes up with a scheme some day and asks you to deposit BTC0.01 in it and they'll return BTC0.02 in a matter of minutes or hours, would you hand over your BTC even without giving it a thought of suspect that it can be a scam?

It's easier to prove that someone else did it than to prove that you didn't do it. A smart black-hat Twitter employee would set it up so that it frames some other user for the act they provided, using the plausible deniability of, "my account was compromised," wherein even in the event of any financial ramifications, they get to go mostly scot-free with the loot they were able to acquire.
