More evidence the feds have their claws in Bitfinex.

It will be interesting to see where those coins end up.  Currently I think the only thing that we can assume as a speculation is this will remove some potential buying pressure for Monero. LOL.  But for bitcoin...  maybe bullish a little?  Hard to say... net zero?  Since the Bitfinex customers have been made whole (I think?) there is little chance of it getting dumped.

In fact this takes some potential selling pressure off of BTC?

I feel like the general price action right now is normal cooling off after some 35% push over the span of a single week...  I do not think the market has digested this AT ALL.


I guess it's a good thing that criminals are idiots.

Cobra doesn't agree with this.

Are we seriously to believe the absurd notion that someone capable of hacking 100K BTC stores the private keys in… CLOUD STORAGE?


Yeaaahhhh.  The more I think about this... The less it makes very much sense at all!

There is some seriously important detail missing for sure. 

But on the other hand wouldn't the forces who might have fabricated this whole thing (if it were fabricated) done a slightly better job?

Why the fuck are they even staying in New York with 100k bitcoin, LOL, dumb doesn't even begin to explain it.. I doubt they were the masterminds behind this scheme.

It's a real pickle for these two now. Assuming they laundered 25k for the actual thieves, said thieves will probably want them dead before they get to snitch.

Not to mention that presumably they kept their private keys unencrypted(?) and with no BIP39 passphrase (?) on some idiotic cloud server?

The Bitfinex thieves (or at least the ones that ended up with the coins):

The most interesting thing to me here is confirmation that the feds are taking an interest in financial criminal activity the crypto/Bitcoin world.

Seriously?  If someone writes something like "I remember my old 64k samsung 9560 gigaziljon computer from 85" the whole thread explodes with comments about that computer and all the mods that they did.
Someone tells you that the main bearing in their engine doesn't look good and you go Huh

I would wager most people here (or anywhere, these days) have never laid eyes on a main bearing (much less their hands).  I didn't know sbc was a popular Jag swap, but that's not my area.

Back in the 90's it was 20k to rebuild the v12 so it became pretty common.

just broke into a sbc from my old jag and found striations on the first main bearing I pulled.

Shit.


 English translation anyone?   Grin
