Shocking Kenya Token Scam Takes Over Crypto Twitter

The post Shocking Kenya Token Scam Takes Over Crypto Twitter appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Kenya’s former Prime Minister was apparently hacked to promote a scam token project. The announcement post on his X profile was deleted, and its video was almost certainly a deepfake.
