Correction: No,Lisa Ann - Sexual Intrigue (2008) walking Bitconnect meme Carlos Matos is not calling bitcoin a scam. The tweet under his name appears to come from a parody account. This story has been updated to reflect that fact. Mashable regrets the error.

Bitcoin can rest easy. It appears to have not lost Carlos Matos.
The walking meme made famous by his unbridled enthusiasm for Bitconnect, a cryptocurrency project strongly resembling a Ponzi scheme that shut down its lending and exchange platform in January, is not on Twitter offering words of caution about bitcoin.
"Bitcoin Is A Scam," reads a tweet from an apparent parody account bearing his name. "Sell Everything It's NEVER Going Back Up"
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
Matos, of course, is best known for promoting a likely scam himself. He launched into meme infamy in October of 2017 after a video of him singing Bitconnect's praises went viral.
Importantly, this was all before the price of a BCC token shot up to around $437, and then crashed back down to its current price of $.67.
SEE ALSO: One of the most popular Ethereum apps sure looks like a Ponzi schemeIf you haven't seen the clip, recorded at a Bitconnect gala in Thailand, you should go ahead and watch it now. We'll wait.
His proclamations of "I love Bitconnect!" were endlessly remixed, and Matos — a self-proclaimed Bitconnect investor — quickly became the face of the project.
Needless to say, none of this worked out so well for him. Even John Oliver took a swing at Matos on Last Week Tonight.
And while Matos surely regrets the day he heard of Bitconnect, the parody account bearing his name sure seems to be making the best of it.
