Cointelegraph reported multiple fraud videos on YouTube impersonating Michael Bloomberg and claiming to give away free bitcoins.

On May 14 and 15, at least two hoaxes attracted nearly 60,000 spectators by streaming Michael Bloomberg’s speeches and asked the audience to send them between 0.1 to 250 BTC, in reward for double-valued bitcoin.

The bitcoin addresses provided by the scammers have received six transactions of 0.92 BTC potentially from the victims. YouTube has removed all fraudulent videos.
