George Hendricks, a 69-year-old from Leesburg, a suburb of Orlando, told ClickOrlando he lost $45,000 after a scammer targeted him with a deepfake video of Musk. Deepfakes are digitally-altered videos often used to impersonate notable public figures.
Now, Hendricks tells the outlet that his wife “wants to get a divorce” over the scam.
A divorce probably to cut their losses so that he can claim bankruptcy, reaarange their finances and save as much as possible.
If so, this genius sure didn’t come up with that plan.
His remaining assets are tied up in crypto and labubu dolls.
