00:00Is Poland's president promoting a Bitcoin platform?

00:07If you heard that Poland's president, Karol Nowrowski, was promoting a Bitcoin investment platform,

00:13you would probably raise your eyebrows.

00:15Szanowni rodacy, zwracam się do was w historycznym momencie.

00:21Dokładnie do północy dziś mija ostatnia szansa, aby zostać częścią rządowego programu Bitcoin Trader AI.

00:28But with a simple reverse image search, his suspicious speech can be traced back to an announcement

00:34Nowrowski, Poland's president, gave in November 2025.

00:38The reverse image search shows that his voice has been digitally manipulated,

00:42making him speak about something completely different to the real announcement.

00:46Nowrowski from the nationalist Conservative Law and Justice Party was addressing a backlash

00:51from Prime Minister Donald Tusk's centrist Civic Coalition government.

00:54This is because Nowrowski has consistently vetoed government-backed bills,

00:58since taking office in August.

01:00Up until January, this amounted to more vetoes than his predecessor,

01:03Andrzej Duda, passed over the course of his decade-long presidency.

01:07So at no point did Nowrowski mention the promotion of an investment platform.

01:11According to Polish non-profit Demagog, the video shows clear signs of AI manipulation.

01:16This is not the first time that Nowrowski has been targeted by deepfakes,

01:20calling for investment on social media.

01:21The scam has likely been constructed around the fact that Nowrowski has expressed support

01:26for cryptocurrency in the Bitcoin industry.

01:29This video fits into a well-documented crypto scam playbook that has evolved with AI tools.

01:36Scammers use public figures' faces to promote Bitcoin.

01:39This is to make schemes appear legitimate and push people to act quickly.
