George Hendricks, a 69-year-old from Leesburg, a suburb of Orlando, told ClickOrlando he lost $45,000 after a scammer targeted him with a deepfake video of Musk. Deepfakes are digitally-altered videos often used to impersonate notable public figures.
Now, Hendricks tells the outlet that his wife “wants to get a divorce” over the scam.



Cutting someone loose who makes terrible financial decisions is not gold digger behavior. They are likely retired and have limited resources to worry about and he just blew a big chunk of that. This also doesn’t speak well of his intelligence overall so maybe this was a long time coming.
Huh. Why would you write this positive back story for her?
All we know about her is she married this dumbass in the first place and left him because of money.
Nothing I wrote is positive buddy. It’s a shit situation.
