The attacker already made over 5 BTC: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/bc1qxy2kgdygjrsqtzq2n...
I am not familiar with BTC markets. How would they be able to collect? Wouldn't everyone be watching that wallet like hawk, making it impossible to withdraw without revealing their identity?
Hackers take over prominent Twitter accounts in simultaneous attack

#92Elon Musk as well. Tweets still up, saying "Feeling greatful, doubling all payments sent to my BTC address! You send $1,000, I send back $2,000! Only doing this for the next 30 minutes." As of now, 121 people have sent cash totally more than 2.5BTC. Edit: Just seen @BillGates compromised as well, same bitcoin account. Edit 2: Elon's tweet seems to be getting removed, and then reposted again shortly after. About $40k…
Honestly, we should be relieved if thats all that was stolen. A more sophisticated attack would involve OTM puts on TSLA and a tweet along the lines of: "finding major defects in Ys and 3s. shutting down all lines to reconfigure for a week" That could have netted the attackers millions.

#93Uber has been hacked as well. At this point, they can get any high profile Twitter user. EDIT: You know this is a coordinated Twitter hack when they have Apple's account hacked [0]. https://twitter.com/Apple/status/1283506278707408900

They haven't yet gone after the most prominent Twitter user.

Try to warn people and you get slammed for it.
Ugh.
