A Florida conman who claimed he was billionaire Elon Musk stole $600,000 from an elderly woman whom he promised millions in return, according to police.
Jeffrey Moynihan, 55, impersonated the world’s richest man and struck up a friendship with a 74-year-old woman from Texas on Facebook, cops in Bradenton said.
After the pair exchanged messages for months in 2023, he convinced her to fork over $600,000 as an investment in what he claimed were Musk’s businesses — promising $56 million in return.
