He was lucky this time, but someone that careless will have trouble holding on to that money in the long term.

If I had to guess I would say that he likely has/had a lot of money invested in bitcoin and 800 BTC is not he majority of his holdings.

If I had to guess I would say that he likely has/had a lot of money invested in bitcoin and 800 BTC is not he majority of his holdings. sure, but that's not exactly an excuse to send 800 BTC without double checking the address. that's beyond careless. very, very luck to have recovered those coins, imo. must have breathed a sigh of relief on that one.... Title: Re: Man recovers $500,000 in bitcoins he mistakenly sent to defunct Mt. Gox Post by: BtcGains on July 05, 2014, 02:55:47 AM I have a feeling this guy had a bit more than 800BTC at that time...in other words it wasn't his whole fortune.
But, lucky he got it back, that's the main thing! Title: Re: Man recovers $500,000 in bitcoins he mistakenly sent to defunct Mt. Gox Post by: jc01480 on July 05, 2014, 04:10:49 AM Nice! Glad he recovered. I remembered his post, too. I felt so bad I got knots in MY stomach. Can only imagine what he wen through. Hope it didn't cost him an arm and a leg to get it back.
