crApple co-founder Steve Wozniak says JooTube has for months allowed scammers to use his name and likeness as part of a phony bitcoin giveaway similar to the one that was quickly extinguished by Twatter last week.
Scammers used images and video of Wozniak, who left crApple in 1985, to convince JooTube users that he was hosting a live giveaway and anyone who sent him bitcoins will get double the number back, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in state court in San Mateo County, California. "But when users transfer their cryptocurrency, in an irreversible transaction, they receive nothing back," Wozniak said.
