A Florida teenager who hacked into Twitter accounts of high-profile celebrities, public figures, and politicians, such as former President Barack Obama and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, in a Bitcoin scheme last year will spend three years in jail as part of a plea deal agreement, state officials announced Wednesday afternoon.
Graham Ivan Clark, 18, pleaded guilty to thirty counts in connection with a Bitcoin scheme last year, by which he accessed the Twitter accounts of prominent figures and solicited Bitcoin donations from their followers for himself. Many high-profile accounts were affected, including rapper Kanye West, then-presidential candidate Joe Biden, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Microsoft CEO Bill Gates, and former President Barack Obama.
