“I got an email on my phone saying someone was in my blockchain, my crypto wallet. You guys know I’m into Bitcoin,” he said to his fans at the time.
“I got hacked. I just lost a weird amount of money, and it doesn’t feel good. It’s a weird thing.

Some people have questioned Steve Will Do It’s account, accusing him of only making the claims to sell more merchandise.
