This is Ivan Clark.
He is the biggest social engineering scammer EVER
He broke Elon Musk’s Tweeter, stole $1M in $BTC and more
Here is the untold story of his life and how not to be scammed like this🧵👇
16/ Today, Graham Clark is free
He stole millions, hacked the world’s biggest platform, and served less time than some for petty theft
The ultimate irony?
The platform he once broke – now X under Elon Musk, is filled with crypto scams every single day
15/ FBI caught him within two weeks
He’d left digital breadcrumbs – emails, IP logs, phone calls
Facing 30 felony counts and up to 210 years, he made a deal:
Plead guilty, serve 3 years in juvenile prison, and 3 years probation
He was 17. He’d won again.
14/ They could’ve done worse
Crashing markets, spreading fake political news, leaking DMs of world leaders
But they didn’t
The Internet watched billionaires fall for a teenager’s magic trick
13/ At 8:00 PM on July 15, 2020, the world froze
From verified accounts came identical tweets:
“Send BTC, get double back”
Within minutes, wallets filled with over $110,000 in Bitcoin
Twitter panicked, locking every verified user on Earth
12/ Step by step, they logged into higher-level Twitter accounts
Then they found a manager with “God mode” – access to reset any password
Now they controlled 130 accounts: Musk, Obama, Bezos, Apple, Biden, Gates
Twitter, literally, was in teenage hands
11/ During COVID lockdowns, Twitter staff worked from home
Two teenagers: Graham and another minor – impersonated internal tech support
They called real employees, claiming to fix login issues, and sent fake company portals
Employees entered credentials – access granted
10/ But freedom wasn’t enough
He had eight months left before turning 18 – and wanted one last heist
He wanted to hack the platform he used every day – Twitter itself
What followed would shake Silicon Valley
9/ By 2019, police raided his home
They found 400 $BTC, worth nearly $4 million
He returned $1M to close the case – and kept $3M legally
Because he was a minor, federal law couldn’t charge him as an adult
He literally walked free with millions
8/ Offline, things spiraled faster
He started selling drugs with local teens
One deal ended in a shootout – his friend died on the spot
Graham ran, claimed innocence, and somehow dodged charges
He was expelled from school, moved out, and bought his own apartment
7/ Even worse – Graham scammed his own hacker partners
They wanted their cut of Bennett’s stolen coins
He ghosted them
They doxxed him, sent threats, and even showed up at his house
Graham had built a life of enemies before turning 17
5/ It wasn’t coding – it was social engineering
He fooled real employees into logging into fake company sites, captured their passwords, and hijacked identities
The targets? Rich crypto investors who flaunted their wallets online
The result? Millions stolen in Bitcoin.
4/ By 15, Graham joined OGUsers, a forum where hackers sold “rare” social-media accounts
There, scams turned into full-scale cybercrime
He learned SIM-swapping – calling phone carriers, pretending to be staff, and stealing someone’s number to access their email, bank, crypto
3/ He built trust by acting friendly, selling in-game items, then disappearing once money hit his account
When YouTubers exposed him, he hacked their channels in revenge
He didn’t just scam players – he learned control, manipulation, and revenge
It became his language
