Moral of the story?
Stop believing every post on Twitter or Facebook. Ignoring the fact that every bitcoiner should live by the principle of "don't trust, verify," these are gambling stories, and you could trust a gambler about this as much as a fisherman and his stories about the 20-meter 100 tons carp he just failed to catch.
People are ready to go to any extremes to get the likes and share in social media and if it's combined with some brilliance and no principle they will start circulating these stories and who knows it also can be effective if they manage to mention a name of a platform which paid 100 million rewards in some way.

Even bitcoiners don't live by that 'Don't trust, just verify" because we are not using our own nodes to validate TXs, we use centralized exchanges as wallets.
