The Twitter account of Shark Tank TV show star Kevin O’Leary, known as Mr.Wonderful, has been hacked by crypto scammers.

About the Hacking

Kevin O’Leary’s account started making suspicious posts on Thursday last week. The twitter account in question has close to 1 million followers. For this reason, he was able to provide access to large audiences. The shares made from Kevin O’Leary’s twitter account were the shares that included 5000 Bitcoin and 15000 Ethereum giveaway. According to the tweet, Kevin said that he made a lot of money from crypto and wanted to share some of it with his followers.

While the suspicious tweets were confusing the followers, the scammers started tweeting again. Other tweets from Kevin’s twitter account said that the account had not been hacked and that it was not a fraud. These fake giveaway tweets were removed by twitter within a few hours.

Why the Kevin O’Leary

The ongoing scams in the crypto world usually take place through social media such as Twitter, Youtube, Facebook and Instagram. The hacking of Kevin O’Leary’s twitter account may have had a share in the fact that he was one of the first promoters of the recently collapsed FTX exchange. Also recently, Kevin received a lot of backlash for defending former FTX CEO Sam Bankman Fried. With the FTX collapse, many people lost billions of dollars. Defending a person who has caused such huge losses must have angered the hacker communities.
