I’m kinda bummed it was an actor. It would have been miles more entertaining if it was just an AI model.
Well, get busy. That screenplay isn’t going to write itself. Or will it? cue intense music

I seriously thought this was an Onion article.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
An actor who was hired to pretend to be the highly qualified CEO of a shady, collapsed cryptocurrency hedge fund called HyperVerse has apologized after a YouTuber unmasked his real identity last week.
An Englishman currently living in Thailand, Stephen Harrison confirmed to The Guardian that HyperVerse hired him to pose as CEO Steven Reece Lewis.
To play the part of CEO, he was also given a “wool and cashmere suit, two business shirts, two ties, and a pair of shoes,” The Guardian reported.
Harrison said that he had no part in HyperVerse’s alleged scheme to woo investors with false promises of high returns.
He also said that he was “shocked” to find out that HyperVerse had falsified his credentials, telling investors that Harrison was a fintech whiz—supposedly earning prestigious degrees before working at Goldman Sachs, then selling a web development company to Adobe before launching his own IT startup.
Harrison’s agent allegedly told him that it was common for companies to hire corporate “presenters” to “represent the business” and reassured him that HyperVerse was “legitimate.”

Would have been much cooler if it was AI, but pretty expected anyway.
