Kevin O'Leary's Twitter account was hacked  by hackers and used to promote a scam.

The criminals wrote a post purporting that O'Leary decided to share 5,000 BTC 15,000 ETH. A phishing link was also attached to the tweet.

The fake posts were deleted by the Twitter team. It is not yet known how many people were duped by this scam.
