The teenage mastermind behind the Twitter hack:By the time he was 15, Graham Ivan Clark became known as an adept scammer who cheated people out of their money on the video game Minecraft. By 16, he became tied to hacks that yielded well over $1 million in Bitcoin. Everything came crashing down when police arrested Clark, now 17, for hacking Twitter’s systems and taking over the accounts of some of the world’s most famous people.(The New York Times)

“He never really seemed to care about anyone but himself.”
 
It was sketchy from beginning due to the reasoning or buildup of the scam. It was not very well thought out IMO, no wonder only 100k was sent to the BTC acc...

I found it very strange that someone on one hand is technically inclined enough to hack but on the other hand builds their scam up like this.

IMO hacking is more than 1000+ years old business, and that hack may only be single consequence of chain events caused by previous and much bigger magnitude hacks.
