A Donald Trump video during the Super Bowl invited viewers to send cryptocurrency to "double their money"
On February 9, 2026, during Super Bowl LX, an AI-generated video with Donald Trump's face and voice circulated, directing viewers to a website that promised to return double any crypto they sent. Thousands of people took the bait within minutes.
Why it's false: It's an unauthorized deepfake: Trump never recorded that video, and no such doubling exists — it's the classic "send crypto, get double back" scam wearing a famous face. The case is documented by U.S. investment fraud offices and logged in AI incident databases; the fraudulent website was still active days later despite the reports.
