Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak’s Bitcoin Stolen
Last year, Apple’s co-founder Steve Wozniak (Woz) revealed he’d purchased bitcoin, likening it to being better than gold. And then, months later, Woz announced he’d sold it all. In the process of selling off his gains, it turns out he was defrauded out of a substantial sum.

One of the men behind the world’s most profitable company, Apple, co-founder Steve Wozniak explained to India’s The Economic Times he was defrauded out of a sizeable amount of bitcoin. Woz famously touted the decentralized currency’s merits, and then abruptly announced he’d liquidated. This is not the first time Woz has had a rocky beginning with a history-changing technology.
The career of cherubic every-man-nerd-king Woz, the engineering pioneer to Steve Jobs’ poet, more or less begins with fraud. It’s a sadly hilarious tale, one where Mr. Jobs, who befriended Woz due to his technical genius, evidently promised to split 50-50 an offer made by then leading video game company, Atari.
