That's the problem: whatever they do, it's got to be plausible.

If I read that from Obama and Biden I'd immediately smirk and think "They've been hacked!" I mean there would need to be a sit-down interview on CNN before I'd believe that.

Israel... same. They're a sophisticated nation state with Harvard Ph.D.'s helping to lead their foreign policy, and messaging. If they go from diplomacy to sounding like jihadists in 15 minutes, that's a hack.

Anytime the volume or aggression level goes from like 10 to 1,000,000, it's probably a hack.

Given that context, I think tweeting out a BTC address for a giveaway is something that's halfway plausible, as opposed to totally unbelievable.
