RE: BItcoin $ 6 Million Loss Man

in #bitcoin7 years ago

I personally have never believed this story. He is an IT guy and two things stand out. He threw away a hard disk without erasing the data on it and secondly he didn't have backups, I can forgive the later has the wallet.dat might not have been included in any backup strategy but no IT person throws away a HD intact. The other thing that doesn't ring true is that he was in very early (2009) though this is of course not impossible it seems very unlikely.

Sort:  

figure is probably cranked up with 3 zeros extra....6000 instead of 6 M.
