I'm not very familiar with his work, I've seen a few videos, as far as I understand, he produces entertaining content and helps people. In this story, the saying comes to mind: if you want to hide something, put it in the most visible place. But the thief turned out to be more attentive; he could take a solid jackpot.
He's a content creator and the videos that he's producing are budgeted like a million dollars each of them. It's like that robber is just for some things and think that he took a jackpot but didn't. 
Topic: Mr Beast’s house robbed of everything except for bitcoin - page 3. (Read 557 times)
I saw this video somewhere and it was funny while he's explaining how did it happened. Things like his private keys where labeled on that computer and good thing the robber didn't even flinched to touch it or else his BTCs were all gone.

I have known "Mr Beast" for over 3yrs now ever since I started my YouTube journey as the 2nd highest paid YouTuber in the entire world who has over 154 million subscribers and earn between $268k to $4.3million every month from YouTube ads revenue as shown below by "social Blade.com' which is a website which gives a rough estimate how much each YouTuber earns. So as a social media influencer who earns over a million dollars each month from Youtube, he would have known he is likely to be a robbery target and had provided himself with top-notch security the world could ever afford.

There are still robbers who do not know that things are more valuable than all they have robbed. It really happened and even you have experienced it.
He was still lucky that his mugger didn't take the piece of paper because I don't think he knew what the public and private keys were, so he left it. Had he known it was a safe containing valuable assets, he would have taken them and probably left other items behind.
The lesson from this story is that we must be more careful about storing our public and private keys to prevent theft at home. Other than that, stash those valuables elsewhere. And if necessary, rent a deposit box at the bank to make sure everything is safe.
This is funny that he actually wrote the private key and private key in a piece of paper and left it on his desk. But the robber was ignorant that he didn't know about bitcoin. The robber was busy collecting other valuable items from Mr.Beaset's house.

It is normal for a robber to not know about bitcoin but it is better to keep your private key safe to avoid losing bitcoin.
Lesson here, not all robbers are this stupid, hide your keys!
Bitter truth 😔
I think this robbers are getting smarter and wiser and I don't think we sgoukdbbe careless about our seed phrase because most times, these criminals have to take some months and weeks to study their targets before launching an attack on them, so some of them might just come asking to get access to your hodling and if uts kept carelessly like the op wrote, you're already making things very easy for them.
But I think the robbers were really dump and maybe they had their targets and was just focused on getting physical fiat and wasn't ready to pick anything that might be implicating later maybe if investigated, so maybe they weren't really dumb but were only trying to be careful.
He was lucky that the robber didn't come for his bitcoin but instead came for physical valuables and forgot or don't have the knowledge of bitcoin, if not he would have seen the private keys. He might even see it but don't know what it means since doesn't have the idea of what it means.
This should have happened long ago,because assuming it was these present days,the robber would have forced him by putting a gun on his head to transfer all his bitcoin to the robber's own wallet or better still he might do away with the paper containing those private information. Always keep your private keys and seed phrase in a secured or a secrete place where no dick or harry will have easy access to. Nowadays robbers are hunting for bitcoin and no longer physical cash or valuables.

It is very interesting and tickling to watch their actions, meaning that not all criminals are trained and have information unless someone conveys it. But, for me this serves as an example as well as a reminder to prioritize the security of digital assets in this case our BTC and apply best practices to keep it safe.
but the idiot robber just passed by his Pc which had a piece of paper sitting next to it that said “public and private keys” right on it
In this situation, two things would have resulted to this kind of experience he had with the theives at that moment that makes them not to have such opportunity to steal the bitcoin access as well.
1. The theives might be inexperienced about bitcoin or might not know what seed phrase means, they may think it's a child's play words written in teaching the children word pronounciations
2. They might not have paid a closer attention to the paper left on the table or care about what was written on it since they wanted to rob as fast as possible to evacuate the scene, in such situation they wouldn't want to entertain any form of delay against their timing schedule for the operation.
As for the person being robbed, he has escaped a narrow chance of loosing his entire asset and investment in bitcoin for making such a costly mistake by leaving his wallet seeds right on the table beside the computer, our seed phrase or keys should be what we have to maintain privately without anyone having access to them, i hope this will also serve a good lesson someone have just learnt about securing their keys.
I've watched this clip on Youtube months ago, watched it many times, and every time I repeat it, I always laugh on how dumb that robber is.
Maybe his a robber who doesn't have a smartphone at all, or any device that keeps him updated on what's happening around him. Maybe he doesn't know what's crypto at all, or how to access it etc. Maybe he's a robber from a faraway place, just went there to rob.
Kidding on the last one.
I guess it will not affect Mr. Beast at all if the robber manage to got his private keys because of how much he's worth right now. I mean he's one of the most popular, if not the most popular Youtuber right now, and correct me with this one, but I think that he's earning 7 digits on all of his Youtube channels, but spending 6 digits on all of it.
I guess it's good for my safety as well that nobody here in my community knows about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency at all because that lessens the chances of me getting my Bitcoin robbed. This incident teaches us to always, always keep our keys in the safest place possible. Not all robbers are like the robber who robbed Mr. Beast's things.

Mr. Beast might be laughing at that scenario, because he is printing money on social media with his videos, but other people can learn from his mistakes. Do not leave your private key anywhere near to your computer and do not write it on a piece of paper and store it somewhere, where it can get damaged.
The ink on paper can fade over time, if left exposed to the environment or the paper can get wet... or your house might burn down. Always laminate your paper wallets and make several copies and then distribute it to different geographical locations.

I would not trust anything to banks, in some jurisdictions the police can open those safe deposit boxes without a court order, and if you were unlucky enough for this to happen to you and your private keys were there then your coins could be eventually stolen and you will never know how this happened.He was still lucky that his mugger didn't take the piece of paper because I don't think he knew what the public and private keys were, so he left it.

It is better to keep control of our keys and never rely on a third person or institution to do this, as you will only be adding another point of failure by doing so.
Robbers have different mindsets, if this person wants some cash only, he will focus on cash only, when he entered Mr Beast's house, he had his mind set on cash only, he must have thought that taking something else can lead to his arrest, some robbers stole a laptop at my cousins place and we are able to trace the laptop back to the robbers because they sold the laptop to someone who is also a student of the same college as cousin.
instead of you guys wishing Mr beast as lucky I hope you all learn from this lesson, not all robbers cares about cash, some wants the most valuable things, Mr beast must have believe that he can never get robbed that's why he left his private key on the table.

Sir beast is very lucky because the robber doesn't know that there is a valuable asset sir BEAST which is very valuable, namely btc,
I think we have to be more vigilant because with incidents like this, robbers will definitely target our assets, such gold, money and bitcoins.
so we as btc investors really have to be careful. because surely with the famous bitcoin, the robbers will target all of our treasures including bitcoin.
may we all be kept away from robbers.

Mr. Beast really got lucky that those moron robers dont noticed it and also for sure those robbers are hastly getting stuff that they seem valuable and not thinking anything else. But still for sure Mr. Beast learnt from it and he is now being careful as we know he have a lot of money also the same with us with our private keys as not all the time we are lucky that the robbers are dumb and not thinking of getting it as there are really robbers right now that are into private keys like they are going to extort you.
Here he talks about how his house was robbed, but the idiot robber just passed by his Pc which had a piece of paper sitting next to it that said “public and private keys” right on it lol. He laughs at what morons they were. Reminds me of the time my car was robbed of about $10 in change but they left my $600 radar detector and $2000 dvd player just sitting there lol.
Lesson here, not all robbers are there stupid, hide your keys!
Good thing he dodged a more catastrophic outcome, but I dont think it was a good idea to disclose information like these. Robbers might get provoked on such statement and even be more knowledgeable on what to touch next aside from fiat and jewelleries.
This could also be a lesson for Mr.Beast and for everyone to not store they keys where it was more vulnerable from someone who has enough knowledge about Bitcoin.
This for sure will have all the criminals and robbers attention, they'll come looking for it the next time they plan their next victims.
That's not to say that if you own bitcoin you should keep everything locked up tight as if you had stacks of cash in your home--you absolutely should, but the lesson I learned from this is that the typical home-robbery perpetrator is still most likely looking for physical valuables like cash, gold, etc.
I'm not all that familiar with Mr. Beast, but these big Youtube personalities, man....they'd better step up their home security, because I imagine a lot of outlaws know they're pretty rich and thus are, or will, become the target of break-ins just like this one.
Yeah this will make the robbery will going to find a hardware wallet, phone or something that contain private key after this case. Consider to hide your hardware wallet with something that looks not valuable like a can of biscuit etc or not use hardware wallet, but using a cheap cold storage like USB flash.I'm not all that familiar with Mr. Beast, but these big Youtube personalities, man....they'd better step up their home security, because I imagine a lot of outlaws know they're pretty rich and thus are, or will, become the target of break-ins just like this one.
Well social media influencers are trade their privacy for money, so it's not surprising if they're become target of criminal and they can't hide everything they have. I think any rich people already set up a good security in their homes, but it just not prevent from bad actors.
I reckon it wasn't even noticed because it was blatantly in the open. Maybe if it was part of a safe of important documents then the thief might've just stolen it along with the rest of the stuff inside as an add on.
It was funny when I first listened to it though. Probably not to people who don't know what the hell he was talking about.

Here's the thing, if they were crypto-thieves, that they were looking for that would be one thing, but they look like typical thieves looking for cash or gold and don't know much about bitcoin, hence the botched job.
To be fair, I'd categorize crypto thieves as the one doing the stealing online instead. Kinda like that kid who spent money on women which lead him to being arrested. 
Some of you may have seen this clip before, and I’m assuming a good amount of you know who Mr Beast is (if not he’s a highly followed social media “influencer” I guess you could say, but an actually cool guy who gives back a lot to people.
Being an influencer means you are a public figure and will be known as a Bitcoin investors by many people. You are at their greedy radar.Quote

He saved his keys carelessly and unsafely like this lad.my mom did a general cleaning on my room and when she's done, I saw the recovery phrase of my Trezor hardware wallet on the garbage can which I placed on my computer table
Those guys were lucky but if you do the same, you will maybe not be lucky like them.

Bigger lesson, hide that you are Bitcoin investor. Not all people are kind and some can become robbers if they know you are a Bitcoin investor. https://youtube.com/shorts/rtDFx-U2IJU?feature=share

Well, I won't call him stupid, but publicly laughing at someone who has broken into your house and robbed you doesn't seem very smart to me.
I remember watching this video. It's like asking a 90-year-old nanny to go steal a hidden file from your personal desktop without any password on it.
The one who doesn't know about Bitcoin would never be able to steal it. So, one should not just right away his private key like this and wait for it to be stolen.
He was just lucky that not the educated robber robbed him.
