Joe Biden capitalized off a Wednesday afternoon Twitter hack to ask for donations to his campaign. “I don’t have Bitcoin, and I’ll never ask you to send me any,” the former vice president wrote on Twitter. Apparent con artists hacked into the Twitter accounts of many prominent names, including Biden himself, to ask for Bitcoin donations. The ruse included bogus tweets from Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Mike Bloomberg, Kanye West and a number of tech billionaires including Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The email did not directly ask for people to donate to the Biden campaign, but at the bottom included a button that recipients could click to "donate to elect Joe Biden."
