In case it helps anyone else, I didn't understand this comment and I looked it up and found the person referenced is one of the couple who have just been charged with (stealing) correction, laundering ~4 Bn in bitcoin
(Edited based on information in a reply)
- krallja 5y agoThey’ve been charged with conspiring to launder, not stealing, the $4B+ in bitcoin.
- vmception 5y agoBecause that encrypted zip file was probably received from the hacker Ilya bought it from for a million dollars or so, when this hack was only worth $8mm. Just one of many "probably's".
- seanp2k2 5y agoObviously, they reverse-engineered the stolen Bitcoin black market.
- smsm42 5y agoIt's quite plausible to assume one of them or both did steal it though. It's not very likely that somebody would just give 4bn in bitcoins to a stranger to keep for a while.
- labster 5y agoI’m sad they never made the Forbes richest people list. They deserve to be amongst their fellow robber barons.
