A fake Donald Trump appeared to speak to thousands of viewers during the Super Bowl, promising to double their cryptocurrency if they sent funds to a wallet address. One such livestream was reportedly watched by about 200,000 concurrent viewers.
The video was not an official Trump broadcast. It was part of a growing form of cryptocurrency fraud that uses artificial intelligence to imitate public figures and create the appearance of a genuine live event. The scam combines a recognisable face, a convincing voice, and a promise of quick money.
