Be careful posting videos of yourself everywhere if you have a lot of money.

I smell inside job. The first person I would suspect is the victim.

Either he's in on it or he's just a moron that's trying to blame it on deepfake for his own fuck up. However, the bigger issue is why a company this size seem to lack any measures in place regarding large sum transactions. Don't you have to get multiple people to sign off on it?

If this was truly a deepfake scam (which I find hard to believe), the fact nobody noticed after a week shows there's no controls at the company.

But I agree with newty. It's suspicious. A finance guy being deepfaked by multiple people and at no time nobody cross communicated with anyone before the meeting seems fishy.

They probably target those with Apple Vision Pro since they know the users are rich and scans their face.

I'll be interested to know the outcome. I would think they would have some sort of security requirements to even enter into such a chat/conference.
