From what I understand, the bitcoins are being distributed to another bitcoin account or its being cashed out by the minute. They are involved in the BIGGEST internet heist in history so far. Almost $10M has been stolen by these hackers

Please don't fall for this scam. Anyone who thinks Elon Musk, Apple, etc will give them free money is worse than a fool.
