This year’s most bizarre Bitcoin story: an Irish drug dealer bought 6,000 BTC in 2011 and hid the paper private keys inside a fishing rod case, and then he was arrested.


The landlord lost all his belongings, including the keys—those coins were frozen for years, until now.
With the help of Europol, Irish authorities cracked the wallet; today they withdrew 500 BTC. They pulled out a total of 1,500 BTC, and 4,500 BTC is still sitting there.
I really didn’t get it—are you saying Bitcoin’s private keys can be cracked?!
