of course he is not giving btc away. A public statement would not help that much because when someone tweets , only a fraction of their followers will see it. So this means that the PSA will only reach maybe 10% of his followers, at best unless he were to tweet it over and over, which would be annoying. He should make an announcement anyway. I think Woz and Brad Garlinghouse had the right idea of suing Youtube when scammers targeted them.
Agree. Big name and celebrities should held social media accountable and companies or organizations defrauding people should not get away with these kind of shenanigans.
