I've been seeing ads served by Google that feature Martin's image.
The ad links to a fake Mirror style article about a "Bitcoin opportunity"
The same website with the fake article also uses Martin's image for Amazon affiliate links.
Shame how the Google ad network and Amazon affiliate network doesn't check who they deal with.
regards.
