This guy left behind 723 MILLION dollars in Bitcoin in a single transaction.
In August 2010, a BitcoinTalk user named Stone Man was running primitive Bitcoin software from a bootable Linux CD that erased itself every time the computer was turned off.
He sent 1 BTC to himself as a test, but the wallet ended up transferring the other 8,999 BTC 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 stored.
The moment he rebooted the computer, the 8,999 BTC disappeared forever.
He ran to BitcoinTalk begging for help, and the entire community told him the same thing: those coins are irretrievably lost.
Fifteen years later, they are still there on the blockchain in an address no one owns the keys to.
That wallet is worth over 723 million dollars today and hasn't moved a single satoshi since the day he screwed up.
By the end of 2025, an engineer posting on Reddit claimed to have built a tool that would finally crack the wallet using pure brute-force GPU power.
Those 8,999 Bitcoin are just a cracked password away from making someone wake up a morning 723 million dollars richer.
