The House Financial Services Republicans and the White House (now deleted) tagged either a hacked or fake account in their announcements that Paul Atkins was sworn in as SEC Chair. The "Atkins" account immediately started asking for crypto.
@molly0xfff oh, I looked at the pics before reading your text and assumed the story was that they appointed a crypto scammer to lead the SEC. Equally plausible tbh
@molly0xfff this American government reminds me a famous phrase from our French President, Emmanuel Macron, to his deputees in his first presidential mandate : "be proud to be amateurs".
@molly0xfff The way this has been worded makes it sound as though one or both of the HFSR and White House have been deleted, and, given *gestures around generally* that would be only mildly eyebrow raising at this point
@molly0xfff I start to see a pattern: Ppl are added to conversations without to check that it’s the person to be added
@molly0xfff Another normal one for 47's administration, I see.

@molly0xfff well, I had been saying the worst thing about America's current chaos is you can't even joke about it any more, but then this happened. New cabinet appointee replaced by a fake account, griftin' from the get go, rocket emojis, AI bull and all. 'Send some love my way'? Lol this is too good
@molly0xfff sounds like the kind of thing that @microsoft would be all over!
@molly0xfff Selling verification checkmarks remains a brilliant idea. 😂
@aburka Well he's got $6M+ in crypto investments sooo
