This guy lost $723 MILLION worth of Bitcoin in a single transaction
In August 2010, a BitcoinTalk user named Stone Man was running early Bitcoin software off a Linux boot CD that wiped itself every time the computer shut down
He sent 1 BTC to himself as a test but the wallet transferred the other 8,999 BTC out to a new address he didn't even know existed
His backup only saved the old wallet, with no record of the new address where the rest of his coins had just been moved
The second he rebooted, all 8,999 BTC were gone forever
He ran straight to BitcoinTalk begging for help and the whole community came back with the same answer, those coins are cooked
15 years later they're still sitting on chain at an address nobody has the keys to
That wallet is worth over $723 million today and hasn't moved a single satoshi since the day he fumbled it
In late 2025, a Reddit dev claimed he built a tool that could finally crack the wallet using raw GPU power
Those 8,999 Bitcoin are one cracked password away from making someone else $723 million richer overnight
