Then I would move all that money through their accounts, taking the sum I’d set out to keep for myself whilst letting the authorities recover 4 or 5 times that amount, so they would stop looking for me.

America is currently plagued by the hydra-headed evil duo of inflation and recession. The worst part about this recession is that consumers are racking up credit card debt. In April last year alone, credit card debt went up 20% while rates have doubled in a year. Inflation is so high that consumers are literally taking debt for basic life necessities. Collapse has indeed begun.
Collapse is generous 1st time in our history with a full generation that wasn't taught financial literacy, civics, Google fixes their problems if their parents don't do it for them. Reckoning for participation trophies is incoming.
Yes. Sometimes it is to help family members yet even the sacrifice is treated as nothing more than an entitlement. Still trying to crawl out of this pit of debt.

The headline "Married Couple Steals $4.5 Billion in Bitcoin Heist" is incorrect. At that time, only $71 million worth of bitcoins were stolen. The bitcoins currently have a sales value of around 4.5 billion as the bitcoins are said to have increased in value. BUT is a big difference.

the biggest shocking part here is that govt was able to decrypt an encrypted file, which is suppose to take at least 100 years of continuous processing to decrypt

It's hilarious that people keep noting money laundering does not happen with the digital currencies...

Everyone is trying to into this with a "investment" mindset rather than a utility mindset which was the original case that Bitcoin was intended to solve.
@@Rootkit_69 stealing anything is bad. My problem is that the governments refuse to regulate and admit digital coins exist. They should be adapting the technology into the current monetary system to make it fair for everyone instead they decide to pump out trillions in an effort to screw over millions of people and serve the few. Digital coins have the opposite problem now with early buyers trying to advertising like nuts to inflate a store of literal digital 1's and 0's. A true fair monetary system should only pump in money that is connected to the measured population at hand and remove the excess money when a "shortage" happens. Right now it's pretty obvious in USA that there is way too much money in the system with people just buying anything from GPU's, cars, houses and heck even NFT's which is literally just a digital image usually. Grifters are just having a field day in this age because it's easy to advertise shit with the technology we have in this day and age.

Social Engineers aren't 100% scammer.

The problem isn't the method that is used, be it gold/paper or crypto, but the human nature to exploit one another.
first sentence doesn't make sense compared to second. that crypto was not self custodied, hence the loss was on bitfinex's hands and they had to pay back their customers. The story is like not related at all to actual scams that you are referencing
This hack had nothing to do with the underlying technology though. If someone broke into your house and stole your money from under your mattress, would that make money a con game? Ironically it is though, it's all about who holds power over the monetary system. At least crypto makes that power and where it flow more transparant or else these crooks would never have gotten caught.
Imagine buying $5,000 worth of Bitcoin in 2016, crying over having it stolen. And five years later it’s now worth 250,000 and you would have cashed out when you 3-4xed your return..
Well they got cryptocurrency worth same value and in case the bitcoin were recovered the exchange would buy back the coin upto $1 per coin. So the only people who benefits from this is bitfinex .
The best way to find growth stocks, key features to keep in mind is as follows: 1. Ensure gross margins are greater than 50% 2. Ensure P/E ratio is less than 100 3. Buy companies that are PROFITABLE, very important irrespective of sector. 4. Debt to equity ratio is less than 30% 5. Current ratio is above I 6. and a Float under 100 million One stock that fits the bill is FLGT (Fulgent)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they were charged with laundering the money, not stealing it.

Actually no the owners of those bitcoins will not be happy when they do get them back because when a Bitcoin has been proven to be involved in illegal activity it loses a significant portion of its value which is why the most sought after are freshly minted bitcoins which don't yet have a large history of being traded

America is currently plagued by the hydra-headed evil duo of inflation and recession. The worst part about this recession is that consumers are racking up credit card debt.

It's hilarious that people keep noting money laundering does not happen with the digital currencies... Looking at this story just verified how viable using digital currencies is for another route to do the crime.

Buying crypto is not a bad thing. Stealing is.
@@Rootkit_69 stealing anything is bad. My problem is that the governments refuse to regulate and admit digital coins exist. They should be adapting the technology into the current monetary system to make it fair for everyone instead they decide to pump out trillions in an effort to screw over millions of people and serve the few. Digital coins have the opposite problem now with early buyers trying to advertising like nuts to inflate a store of literal digital 1's and 0's.
A true fair monetary system should only pump in money that is connected to the measured population at hand and remove the excess money when a "shortage" happens. Right now it's pretty obvious in USA that there is way too much money in the system with people just buying anything from GPU's, cars, houses and heck even NFT's which is literally just a digital image usually. Grifters are just having a field day in this age because it's easy to advertise shit with the technology we have in this day and age.

This hack had nothing to do with the underlying technology though. If someone broke into your house and stole your money from under your mattress, would that make money a con game?

At least crypto makes that power and where it flow more transparant or else these crooks would never have gotten caught.
@Carpe Diem you need to evaluate the safety of the whole chain, not just of the strongest link of it.
Imagine buying $5,000 worth of Bitcoin in 2016, crying over having it stolen. And five years later it’s now worth 250,000 and you would have cashed out when you 3-4xed your return..
You probably would have sold everything in 2018

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they were charged with laundering the money, not stealing it. Neither of them seem to have the technical ability to commit the theft, as evidenced by how badly they laundered it, and how laughable their opsec was.

Success is dependent on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Show me a man who doesn't have an investment, and i will tell you how soon he will go broke. Investment is building a safe heaven for the future. With the right choice of Investment that has at least 1% minimum risk and with an expert guidance, profit and Intrest is 100% guaranteed
I agree with you. I had a senior colleague at work who was living well but never had an Investment, unfortunately his work was terminated,so he went from living well to surviving with his family.If he had invested when he was still working, he would have had another source of income.
Investing is a prior decision to make for the future. If you are seeing this and don't have an investment, please do make plans to invest so you don't end up like my senior colleague at work.
This made so much sense, just like he said " for one to invest, the person have to consider an appropriate choice of Investment with at least one percent minimum risk , profits margin, a mentor and expertise to guide and help you manage your Investment portfolio.
With the help of Angelina Morris who works with an Investment organisation in England, I have been investing in the Foreign exchange market, Stock, and dividends with her expertise and guidance,she has helped me make huge profit on my Investment portfolio.
@@halasultan6439 Oh its great to see someone who also benefit's from the services of Angelina Morris indeed it's a small world. She is my portfolio manager and mentor too for 2 years and still counting and I have made profit of 123,795 usd from my initial amount of 5100 usd with her managing my portfolio.
The greatest money heist of all time
You’re not kidding!! All these poor people are being scammed and all they had to do before dealing with bitcoins is ask their hank manager and they’ll tell you to steer clear of it I asked my bank mgr about a and he said to absolutely stay away it it’s a completely the biggest fraudulent scam going on right now and people are never going to see money from bitcoins because you CANNOT TURN IT INTO CASH MONEY ALL YOU DO IS WASTE YOUR TIME AND TRADE BACK. AND NEVER EVER SEE CASH OUT OF IT
I thought that too, however they didn't complete the heist so they don't get put in the books. Maybe it can be considered the greatest attempt?
The guy hawking just one stock advice wearing a Santa costume is the icing on the cake for this vid 👍🤣🍿
