After a long hiatus the youtube crypto scams have returned.

The thumbnails and other graphics make only minimal or no reference to any giveaway, which is to evade youtube's OCR on certain text and images.

These scams are wildly profitable given how only a small fraction of bitcoin equals considerable money.

Unlike ransomware and other frauds, these ppl do not have to worry about tainted crypto or law enforcement. No one seems to care or know what to do about it.
