Many deposits were from people who just wanted to see if it was a scam 🤣

Is that an admission? Having a hard time reading that any other way....

No I just watch a few YouTubers who've done so.

Well, tbh the article itself lists three outlets that did exactly that (NBC News, 404 Media and Android Authority), so that’s how I would read it before jumping to conclusions.
