BitMEX&nbsp;co-founder&nbsp;Arthur Hayes&nbsp;has suggested that a change in US banking regulations could propel Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to a $1 million valuation.
What Happened:&nbsp;Hayes, addressing his&nbsp;followers on the social media&nbsp;platform X, indicated&nbsp;that if US banks receive&nbsp;an exemption from the&nbsp;supplementary leverage ratio (SLR) rule, it could lead to increased market liquidity, significantly boosting Bitcoin&#8217;s value.
The SLR rule, initially adjusted during the COVID-19 pandemic, was designed to alleviate Treasury market pressures and enhance banks&#8217; credit provision capabilities.
Hayes noted that a campaign by US banks for an SLR exemption is underway, which would allow them to purchase U.S. Treasury securities with substantial leverage, potentially funding the extensive US government debt issuance.
He described this development as &#8220;another&nbsp;signpost on the road to&nbsp;BTC = $1 million.&#8221;

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The PR campaign by US banksters to get an SLR exemption is in full swing. This is &lt;TOP&gt; news on my bloomie this morning.

</figure>
Last month, Hayes expressed his belief that Bitcoin could reach $1 million in this cycle, driven by global central banks&#8217; increased money supply.
He emphasized that governments worldwide might print unprecedented amounts of money to counter slowing global growth, contributing to Bitcoin&#8217;s potential surge.

Why It Matters: The prediction by Arthur Hayes aligns with other optimistic forecasts in the cryptocurrency space.
Fundstrat&#8217;s head of research, Tom Lee, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42719735/bitcoin-could-surge-past-250000-says-tom-lee-citing-btc-halving-cycles-and-us-government-adoption">recently suggested</a> that Bitcoin could surpass $250,000 within the next year, citing the impact of halving cycles and potential government adoption. Lee highlighted Bitcoin&#8217;s recent halving event as a pivotal factor that could drive price momentum.
Additionally,&nbsp;Ark Invest's Cathie Wood has projected that Bitcoin&#8217;s price might <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42019038/bitcoin-to-hit-up-to-1-5-million-by-2030-says-cathie-wood">reach up to $1.5 million</a> by 2030.
Wood attributes this potential surge to regulatory relief and Bitcoin&#8217;s growing distinction from other assets. She also noted increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin, which could further bolster its value.
Moreover, the incoming&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41928272/cathie-woods-ark-invest-foresees-crypto-industry-boost-under-incoming-trump-administration">Trump administration</a>&nbsp;is expected to provide a positive environment for the cryptocurrency industry, potentially offering regulatory clarity and a more crypto-friendly SEC. This could create favorable conditions for Bitcoin and other digital assets to thrive.
Price Action: Bitcoin was trading at $98,154 at the time of writing, up by 1.84% in the past 24 hours.

Bitcoin To Hit $1 Million? Arthur Hayes Says 'Another Signpost' Has Appeared Amid US Debt Concerns

Thousands of advertisements on Meta Platforms Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)&nbsp;Facebook&nbsp;and&nbsp;Instagram&nbsp;have been reportedly found promoting &#8220;fuel filters&#8221; that can be easily converted into gun silencers.
What Happened: Despite&nbsp;Meta&#8217;s&nbsp;policies against such advertisements, these promotions have persisted for years, according <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/fuel-filter-gun-silencer-ads-facebook-instagram/">to</a> a report by Wired.
The ads, linked to over 100 Facebook pages, offer devices priced as low as $50. Transforming these into silencers without federal approval could result in felony charges.
Silencers are strictly regulated under U.S. law, necessitating registration with the&nbsp;Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms&nbsp;and Explosives&nbsp;(ATF).
An analysis of 2,800 ads revealed connections to a network of e-commerce sites, often reusing code and sharing IP addresses. Experts suggest the operation is based in China, employing a drop-shipping model to sell these controversial products.

Meta, which prohibits ads for weapons and related modifications, removed some ads. However, similar ads have resurfaced.
The ads have also drawn&nbsp;the attention of the&nbsp;U.S. Department of Defense, with claims that targeted ads were served to military personnel. Meta&#8217;s ad tools could potentially be exploited to reach specific audiences like gun enthusiasts or military members.
Meta did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comment.
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: This issue highlights ongoing challenges faced by social media platforms in regulating content.
Back in December 2019,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/19/12/15017460/facebook-bans-instagram-influencers-from-pushing-vaping-weapons">Facebook</a>&nbsp;implemented a policy banning influencers from promoting vaping, tobacco, and weapons on Instagram. This move was part of a broader effort to curb the promotion of harmful products.
Despite these measures, the persistence of ads for illegal gun silencers underscores the difficulties in enforcing such policies.
The recent removal of accounts by Meta, as seen in the case of Luigi Mangione, demonstrates the platform&#8217;s ongoing battle against misuse and policy violations.
The continuous evolution of tactics by bad actors remains a significant challenge for social media companies.

Meta's Facebook, Instagram Ads Promote Illegal Gun Silencers: Report

A group of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shareholders, including Cathie Wood&#8216;s Ark Investment Management LLC, are reportedly appealing the Delaware Chancery court&#8217;s decision to block Elon Musk&#8216;s $56 billion pay package at the EV company.
What Happened: Florida shareholders Ark Ivestment Management LLC,  David Israel, and Kurt Panouses filed a notice of appeal in the Supreme Court of Delaware last month over Delaware Chancery Court Judge Kathaleen St. J. McCormick's decision to void Musk&#8217;s pay package, according to a <a href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/securities-law/elon-musks-pay-deal-decision-appealed-to-delaware-supreme-court">report</a> by Bloomberg.
McCormick in January 2024 voided Musk&#8217;s $56 billion pay package alleging that Tesla&#8217;s board was influenced by the CEO when they adopted the plan in 2018. Tesla shareholders subsequently voted again <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39323339/tesla-shareholders-approve-elon-musk-56b-pay-package-other-company-proposals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to reinstate the package</a> in June. However, McCormick again ruled against the package in December.
Tesla said in a post on X in December that the company deems the ruling to be wrong and intends to appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court.
Musk Responds: &#8220;Awesome,&#8221; Musk said on social media platform X about the appeal by the Florida shareholders. &#8220;The original lawsuit was brought by a law firm using a puppet shareholder. The appeal is by real Tesla shareholders.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The original lawsuit was brought by a law firm using a puppet shareholder. The appeal is by real Tesla shareholders.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Musk was referring to minor shareholder Richard Tornetta as a &#8220;puppet shareholder.&#8221; Tornetta filed the lawsuit that led to the CEO&#8217;s compensation package being rescinded.
Musk in June said that the lawsuit brought forth by Tornetta does not represent Tesla shareholders as it claims to. 
"A "class action&#8221; lawsuit, by definition, should represent the class, yet this one, and most others, do NOT, serving simply to enrich law firms at the expense of the people they falsely claim to represent," Musk said. 
"The law should be changed to require at least 10% of the members of the supposed class to vote in favor of a class action suit. If they can&#8217;t even muster 10%, it is obviously bogus," the CEO added.
Over 70% of Tesla shareholders voted to approve Musk&#8217;s pay package in 2018 and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39452158/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-calls-for-legal-reform-on-class-action-lawsuits-serving-simply-to-enrich-law-fir">again in June 2024.</a>

Uber Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) CEO&nbsp;Dara Khosrowshahi&nbsp;resigned from the board of autonomous vehicle technology company Aurora Innovation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AUR#NASDAQ">AUR</a>), effective Dec. 31, the latter said in a regulatory filing dated Friday. 
What Happened: The resignation was not a result of any disagreement between Khosrowshahi and the company regarding any matter relating to its operations, policies, or practices, Aurora said in the filing. Instead, the CEO now intends to focus on his responsibilities at Uber, it said.
&#8220;The Company and the entire Board are deeply grateful and appreciative of Mr. Khosrowshahi's service and his immense contributions to the Company over the years in his role as a member on the Board,&#8221; it said. 
The company also appointed Shailen Bhatt to its board as a director. Bhatt is Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for AtkinsRéalis, an engineering, procurement, and construction services company, in the United States and Latin America.
Why It Matters: Uber <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/20/12/18687551/uber-to-offload-self-driving-unit-to-amazon-backed-startup-aurora">sold its troubled self-driving vehicle unit called Uber ATG</a> to Aurora in 2020. As part of the equity deal, Uber invested $400 million in Aurora and got a 26% stake in the combined company. Khosrowshahi subsequently joined the board as director.
Aurora is&nbsp;looking to deploy its autonomous trucks in commercial operations in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41699291/autonomous-vehicle-startup-aurora-pushes-back-commecial-launch-of-driverless-trucks-to-2025">April 2025.</a>
"With additional visibility on the time needed to complete the aforementioned remaining validation, we now expect to launch commercially in April 2025," Aurora CEO Chris Urmson said in a letter to shareholders in October.
"While this is modestly later than we had intended, this timing remains within the margin of error we have anticipated and conveyed throughout 2024."
Uber Freight is one of the many customers to have signed up for Aurora&#8217;s commercial driverless service.

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi Resigns From Board Of Autonomous Vehicle Tech Company Aurora

Elon Musk&#8216;s rocket manufacturing company SpaceX is looking to deploy 10 model Starlink satellites during the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42736150/spacex-ceo-says-starship-7th-test-flight-slated-for-jan-10">upcoming test flight</a> of its Starship launch vehicle in a bid to demonstrate its capabilities in the satellite launch segment, the company said on Friday.
What Happened: The 10 Starlink simulators, the company said, will be similar in size and weight to the company&#8217;s next generation of Starlink satellites.
While SpaceX has conducted 6 test flights of its ambitious launch vehicle to date, none of them carried any payload. The last test flight of Starship was in November. 
Other Aims For Upcoming Flight Test: For the upcoming flight, the company is also looking to catch the vehicle&#8217;s booster back at the launch pad at Starbase, Texas, with the launch tower&#8217;s metallic arms like on its fifth test flight in October. However, in case of any safety concerns, the company will splash it down in the Gulf of Mexico, it said.
Catching the booster of the two-stage vehicle as well as the spacecraft back at the launch tower at Starbase is an important demonstration of the vehicle's reusability.
The spacecraft, however, is slated to be splashed down in the Indian Ocean on the upcoming test. 
Why It Matters: The next flight test of Starship, Musk said last month, is expected on January 10th. 
The Starship is still in&nbsp;development and undergoing testing. While NASA is looking forward to landing humans back on the surface of the Moon after a gap of over 50 years with the help of a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42108681/spacex-shows-off-conceptual-version-of-starship-which-will-help-humans-land-back-on-moon-in-over-50-yrs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">custom version of the Starship</a>, Musk dreams of taking&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40770222/elon-musk-sets-2026-for-starships-first-uncrewed-mars-mission-targeting-successful-landing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">humans to the planet Mars</a>&nbsp;aboard the&nbsp;vehicle.

What Happened:&nbsp;Cook's $1 million donation to Trump's inauguration comes after several meetings between the two during Trump&#8217;s first term and a recent dinner at Mar-a-Lago.
Cook, originally from Alabama, considers the inauguration an important American tradition and is contributing to the spirit of unity, according <a href="according%20to%20Axios">to</a> a report by Axios.
Apple itself is not expected to make a donation. Cook has consistently engaged with policymakers from both political parties, emphasizing active participation.

Other prominent Silicon Valley contributors to the inauguration include Amazon.com Inc., Meta Platforms Inc., and Uber Technologies, among others.

This meeting was part of a broader effort by tech leaders, including Mark Zuckerberg and Sundar Pichai, to engage with the incoming administration.
Additionally,&nbsp;Ford Motor Co. has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42660866/trump-gets-ford-vehicles-1m-for-inauguration-will-musk-respond-or-could-he-ride-in-rival-vehicle">also pledged $1 million</a> to Trump&#8217;s inauguration, matching contributions from Amazon and Meta.

Apple CEO Tim Cook Reportedly Donates $1 Million To Trump Inauguration, Joins Ranks Of Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, And Sam Altman

Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos underscored the pressing need to address environmental issues despite advancements in other areas. He underscored that while everything on the planet is better now than 50 years ago, there's one exception.
What Happened: Speaking at the New York Times&#8217; DealBook Summit, Bezos shared his perspective on the state of the planet.
Bezos emphasized that while significant progress has been made in reducing infant mortality, increasing global literacy, and lowering poverty rates, the environment continues to suffer. He highlighted the ongoing pollution and depletion affecting oceans, rivers, and forests over the past 500 years.
Amazon&#8217;s environmental footprint was also noted. In 2022, the company emitted 70.74 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, which accounts for approximately 1.1% of total U.S. emissions. Despite this, Amazon is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.
"When people talk about the good old days, that's such an illusion. Almost everything is better today than it was&#8230;with one exception, which is the natural world." Jeff Bezos said during the summit.
Bezos is investing in his aerospace venture, Blue Origin, to explore solutions for Earth&#8217;s resource challenges. He envisions utilizing space resources to provide &#8220;infinite energy, infinite raw materials.&#8221; Blue Origin has completed nine human spaceflights, with the latest in November.

Bezos&#8217; vision for space exploration is centered on preserving Earth, contrasting with Elon Musk&#8216;s SpaceX mission to make humanity multiplanetary. Bezos stated, &#8220;There is no plan B. We have to save Earth.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Bezos&#8217; environmental focus aligns with his broader initiatives, including the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40670507/jeff-bezoss-earth-fund-under-scrutiny-for-potential-influence-on-carbon-credit-market-amid-amazo">Bezos Earth Fund</a>, which has faced scrutiny for its potential influence on the carbon credit market. The fund supports the Science Based Targets initiative, setting climate standards for corporations.
Concerns have arisen about potential conflicts of interest as Amazon expands its climate pledge initiative.

Jeff Bezos Says 'Good Old Days' Are 'Such An Illusion' As Far As Planet Earth Is Concerned, But There's One Exception

General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) said on Friday that it sold nearly 44,000 electric vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2024 with the help of new vehicle models, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42801670/mustang-mach-e-spurs-fords-ev-sales-in-q4-after-it-delays-new-vehicle-launch">effectively overtaking rival</a> Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) which has been hesitant to add new EV models.
What Happened: GM sold 43,982 EVs in the three months through the end of December, marking a growth of 125% year-on-year, with the Chevrolet Equinox EV accounting for a majority of the deliveries.
GM started deliveries of the Equinox EV in May 2024. In the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39612749/60-000-cadillac-lyriq-drives-gms-q2-ev-sales-after-bolt-is-discontinued" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;second quarter</a>, the company delivered only 1,013 units of the vehicle. However, in the third quarter, delivery numbers rose to 9,772 units and further to 18,089 in Q4. The Equinox EV accounted for 41% of the company&#8217;s overall EV sales in the last quarter.
The SUV's entry-level variant starts at about $35,000, lower than Tesla's Model Y SUV or Ford's Mustang Mach-E.
Other best-selling EVs in the quarter include the Cadillac Lyriq and the Blazer EV. The company also sold 670 units of its luxury 7-seater electric SUV called Escalade IQ EV with a starting price of around $130,000.
Bolt EV sales in the quarter, however, dropped by 99.6% in the quarter after the company&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40646381/gm-to-move-brightdrop-electric-vans-under-the-chevrolet-brand" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">discontinued its production in late 2023.</a>

Why It Matters:&nbsp;GM currently has the longest EV lineup among major U.S. EV players including EV giant&nbsp;Tesla.
Tesla's current lineup has just five vehicles &#8211; Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and the Cybertruck.
Dearborn-based Ford, meanwhile, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40525705/fords-e-transit-van-could-be-its-golden-goose-until-new-evs-start-rolling-out-in-2026" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">only three EV offerings</a> in the U.S. &#8211; the Mustang Mach-E SUV, the F-150 Lightning pickup truck, and the E-transit van. The company sold <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42801670/mustang-mach-e-spurs-fords-ev-sales-in-q4-after-it-delays-new-vehicle-launch">just 30,176 EVs in the U.S. in the fourth quarter</a>.
Despite the longer EV lineup, electric vehicles accounted for only about 6% of GM&#8217;s total vehicle sales in the last three months of 2024.

GM Overtakes Ford EV Sales In Q4 With Equinox EV, Sells 670 Units Of Escalade IQ Priced At $130,000

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)&nbsp;announced plans to allocate approximately&nbsp;$80 billion in fiscal 2025&nbsp;towards the development of data centers aimed at training&nbsp;artificial intelligence (AI) models and&nbsp;deploying AI and cloud-based applications.
What Happened:&nbsp;The surge in Microsoft's AI investment follows the launch of ChatGPT by&nbsp;OpenAI&nbsp;in 2022, prompting companies to integrate AI into their offerings.
AI&#8217;s demand for computing power has increased the need for specialized data centers, enabling tech firms to connect thousands of chips in clusters.
"We have the opportunity as a country to equip all Americans with the skills needed to use AI to pursue higher-paying jobs and more successful careers. This should be our national north star," said Brad Smith, vice chair and president of Microsoft.
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Microsoft has been investing heavily to enhance its AI infrastructure and expand its data center network. According <a href="https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2025/01/03/the-golden-opportunity-for-american-ai/">to</a> Microsoft, more than half of the $80 billion investment will be directed towards the United States.
As&nbsp;OpenAI&#8217;s primary backer,&nbsp;Microsoft&nbsp;is one of the leading players in the AI race, bolstered by&nbsp;its exclusive partnership with the&nbsp;AI chatbot maker.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Microsoft&#8217;s aggressive investment in AI infrastructure aligns with its recent milestones and strategic shifts.
In October,&nbsp;CEO Satya Nadella&nbsp;announced that the company&#8217;s AI business was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41643178/microsofts-ai-business-set-to-hit-10b-revenue-milestone-in-q2-satya-nadella-says-it-is-the-faste">on track to surpass $10 billion</a> in annual revenue, marking it as the fastest-growing segment in Microsoft&#8217;s history. This underscores the significant demand and rapid adoption of AI technologies across various sectors.
In December, reports emerged that&nbsp;Microsoft&nbsp;was planning to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42664762/after-investing-nearly-14-billion-in-openai-microsoft-reportedly-moves-to-reduce-its-dependence-on-chatgpt-parent">reduce its dependence</a>&nbsp;on OpenAI by integrating internal and third-party AI models into its Microsoft 365 Copilot product. This move reflects a strategic effort to diversify its AI capabilities and reduce reliance on external technologies.
Furthermore,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42359072/sundar-pichai-takes-a-jab-at-microsofts-ai-efforts-theyre-using-someone-elses-models-doubling-down-on-googles-innovation-power">competition</a>&nbsp;with other tech giants like&nbsp;Alphabet Inc.&nbsp;has intensified, with Google CEO Sundar Pichai challenging Microsoft&#8217;s use of OpenAI&#8217;s models. This rivalry highlights the ongoing battle for supremacy in the AI space, as companies strive to innovate and capture market share.

Microsoft To Invest $80 Billion In AI Data Centers For Fiscal 2025

Dearborn-based Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) sold 30,176 electric vehicles in the fourth quarter in the U.S., taking its EV sales for the whole year to 97,865 units. 
What Happened: While Ford&#8217;s annual EV sales in the U.S. couldn&#8217;t breach the 100,000 mark, it still marks a 35% increase from its EV sales in 2023.
Ford has only three EVs on sale in the U.S. as of today- the Mustang Mach-E SUV, the F-150 Lightning pickup, and the E-transit van. 
The Mustang Mach-E was the best-selling EV in the fourth quarter of 2024, followed by the company&#8217;s electric pickup. In fact, the electric SUV was the company&#8217;s best-selling EV in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41179283/fords-us-ev-sales-gather-pace-in-q3-even-as-its-best-seller-mustang-mach-e-suv-slows-down">all four quarters of 2024</a>.
Ford sold 51,745 Mach-E SUVs across the last four quarters, marking a growth of 27% year-on-year. F-150 Lightning sales rose 39% to 33,510 units and the E-Transit a whopping 64% to 12,610 units in the period.

Why It Matters: EVs, however, accounted for merely 5.7% of Ford&#8217;s overall vehicle sales in Q4 and 4.7% of its sales in 2024. Hybrid vehicles, in comparison, accounted for 9% of the company&#8217;s overall sales in the year. 
In August, Ford said that it is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40496864/ford-scraps-electric-suv-as-it-adjusts-to-lower-electric-vehicle-demand" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">killing its plans to build a three-row electric SUV</a>, initially slated for production in 2025. The company also postponed its plans for a new electric version of its F-150 pickup to 2027 and said it will start making a new electric commercial van in 2026.
More details on the company&#8217;s EV strategy are now expected in the first half of 2025.

Ford EV Sales Get Mustang Mach-E Speed Boost In Q4 As It Delays New Vehicle Launch

Trading Halt: Halted at 7:50:00 p.m. ET - Trading Halt: Halt News Pending

IDAI

Katherine Goodson thought she had found love. Instead, she ended up living in her car with just "29 miles of gas left." The 67-year-old California woman says she lost tens of thousands of dollars to a scammer pretending to be Hollywood star <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/02/30950331/from-the-matrix-to-the-metaverse-keanu-reeves-take-on-crypto-and-nfts">Keanu Reeves.</a>
&#8220;That's the lowest I've ever been,&#8221; Goodson told KNSD, sharing her story to warn others about the dangers of online romance scams.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/red-ventures"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>

</ul>
The High Cost Of Trust
For two years, Goodson sent money to the scammer through Bitcoin, gift cards and wire transfers. Her savings were gone when she realized the truth and her life was turned upside down.
Romance scams are nothing new, but the financial toll is staggering. According to the FBI, Americans lost more than $650 million to romance scams in 2023, Business Insider reported. Older adults, like Goodson, are hit hardest. People over 60 reported losses totaling $3.4 billion, making them the biggest targets.
Why Are These Scams So Common?
Melanie McGovern, public relations director at the Better Business Bureau, tells BI that scammers know how to pull at heartstrings. They pose as celebrities, health professionals or even insurance companies.

"They'll take any company name and scoop it," McGovern said. Romance scams, in particular, are so prevalent that they're on the BBB's <a href="https://www.bbb.org/all/holiday-hq/scams/12-scams-of-christmas">"12 Scams of the Holidays" </a>list.
Goodson isn't alone. Just last year, a woman in South Korea reported losing $50,000 to a deepfake voice pretending to be Tesla founder <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/04/38491366/a-woman-loses-50-000-thinking-elon-musk-was-telling-her-i-love-you-and-wanted-to-make-her-rich-but-i">Elon Musk </a>proclaiming, "I love you." And Kate Kleinert, a 69-year-old widow, told BI she lost $39,000 – her life savings – after falling for an online romance scam.
&#8220;Losing the money – that was devastating,&#8221; Kleinert said. &#8220;But losing that love and the thought of that family that we had? That's what crushed me.&#8221;

How To Spot A Scam
The Federal Trade Commission says there are <a href="https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/what-know-about-romance-scams">red flags to watch for:</a>
<ul>
<li>The person refuses to meet in person.</li>
<li>They ask for money, especially through unconventional methods like gift cards or wire transfers.</li>
<li>They push for secrecy or urgency.</li>
</ul>
&#8220;Here's the bottom line,&#8221; the FTC advises. &#8220;Never send money or gifts to a sweetheart you haven't met in person.&#8221;
A Warning From Goodson
Goodson says she doesn't blame anyone but herself. Still, she hopes her experience will stop others from falling into the same trap.
"It's overwhelming," she said. "Just be sure you're ready for that kind of responsibility."
Her story is a stark reminder: Love online can come with a hefty price tag if you're not careful.
