Steve Wozniak and Bitcoin
In 2020, Steve Wozniak filed a lawsuit against YouTube, claiming that the streaming giants were not doing enough to stop fake Bitcoin giveaways on the platform. He had previously asked YouTube to bring down the videos before he finally filed a lawsuit against them.
The growing giveaway scam back then was a threat in the entire crypto industry. Scammers used Livestream videos impersonating famous individuals or companies and offer to double all BTC funds, which victims send to their addresses. Victims who eventually send cryptos do not get anything in return
Almost a year after undertaking legal action against YouTube, Steve Wozniak reportedly lost the case. The Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara said that the video-sharing platform was protected by federal law.
Steve Wozniak lost the case as the court held that he did not provide enough evidence to prove his case. Although he was one celebrity scammers used to dupe victims, other tech gurus like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, among others, were also impersonated.
