Even tech savvy people can still fall for that stuff unfortunately.

I don't know him but he seems to be on the non-computer side of tech? No way anyone computer-savvy would fall for something as cliché as this

Matthias has deep professional EECS experience and was an engineer on the RIM Blackberry.

If his channel ever comes back, check out the cool wood projects incorporating a Raspberry Pi.

The number of things it is truly appropriate to say this about approaches zero. Matthias has extensive "computer" experience (and that's an understatement). It's counter-productive to no-true-Scotsman the concept of a person who is "competent" or "savvy" with "computers" - the field is too large/complex, especially anything remotely security related. Just focus on reality, i.e. what actually happens. This happened.

And of course it's crypto scam shit. This entire industry cannot die soon enough.

Even worse, it’s AI-generated crypto scam bullshit.

I can’t imagine what Matthias is going through right now. Hopefully this is reversed cleanly without losing history on the channel.
