Twitch allowing a scam to stream "Live" on their platform for 8+ hours?!?! Why?

There is no shortage of scammers looking to take advantage of users across any platform, and is the job of the company to make sure it is minimized as much as possible. The fact that Twitch has allowed this scam to exist for 8+HOURS is an absolute atrocity and honestly raises a lot of questions as to why the scam was allowed to run for so long. You can not tell me that there is not a single moderator or twitch employee that is not aware of this live stream which is taking place in the "Just Chatting" channel titled as [Elon Musk about Bitcoin and Ethereum|!giveaway] Account Name: elonmusk332 that currently has 36,000 people watching (I'm sure most of them are bots) but still the fact that this has been running for so long and countless users have reported it with no action raises a big concern. Why was this allowed?! What took so long and why are you not taking action immediately when a scam like this goes live? I understand it may be challenging to catch a scam but this is literally right in front of everyone's face the second they log on. There is no excuse that can justify the reason for the delay and you have put many people at risk for allowing the stream to stay online for as long as it did. I pray nobody was naive enough to actually believe in this scam which was encouraging users to send an amount of Crypto currency and they would then receive double the amount that was sent. In the unfortunate event that people did fall for the scam then you guys better be prepared to deal with law enforcement for the users that report a claim for their losses which was allowed on your platform. They will conduct investigations thoroughly and will find out who was behind the scam, the fact that you guys left it running for so long will not look good at all for twitch and will need to be explained when or if an investigation happens. Best of luck twitch you guys unfortunately acting pretty SUS on this one..
