how do you get a desktop drive into a laptop?

With lubrication.

Alternatively, I guess it could've been a 2.5" HDD or an SSD.

im thinkin if this is true we may well read about it in the papers unless he's smart and keeps
his mouth shut. im sure mr tax man would be very interested indeed.

I would think if he's smart he'd declare it in his tax return, otherwise he's going to incur some difficulty in actually trying to spend that money, if indeed the deposit of a million pounds into his bank account doesn't automatically flag it to HMRC (it'll certainly get flagged under AML).

how do you get a desktop drive into a laptop? how does an unforked wallet show up? if he didn't know what he was doing how did he mine 60 blocks?

USB

That would be pretty funny if true. The dump certainly had the hallmarks of a total n00b. Somebody should check if there's been a large sum of old, unspent coins that moved recently.

reminds me of the tale of  that dude that chucked out his old HD then dicovered
the bitcoin he had on it was worth millions. except this lucky bastard didnt lose em.

He probably has no clue that the banking system will collapse very soon and all his money will be somehow worthless in time... currency wars are about to hit the "sh!t fan".

Umm.... yeah.

1. Doesn't supposedly remember that he mined BTC way back when?  Check.
2. Says he successfully put a 5-year old desktop hard drive into a brand new laptop (which is likely impossible)? Check.
3. Has a "range" of BTC (he says "between" 3k to 5k) instead of divulging the *exact* number? Check.
4. Doesn't bother to divulge any public key address(es) to verify his story? Check.
5. Sounds like total made up BS? Check.

or ... buy a bunker, too.

Is that from one of those starcraft cinematics??

[luckygenough56]

True or not, the old saying says it all:
easy come, easy go.
It's not easy to manage all that money, he can become a threat to himself.

if he was smart he would open an account in a country that is more favorable

Yep, but it's not income. It's capital gains Much easier on the wallet when you're dealing with $$ millions

[Elwar]

If he was American he should have created a corporation in one of the island nations with zero taxes. He could then transfer all of his bitcoins to that corporation.

Then if he moves overseas (at least 330 days out of the year) he can have the corporation pay him up to $100,000 per year salary with no income taxes. He can also deduct any overseas housing the corporation pays for.

He can drive the corporate car or ride in the corporate boat.

Doing this he pays no taxes.

If he doesn't want to pay taxes he should just GTFO. Let him enjoy the healthcare, educational system, roads etc. of some other country that lets him pay less.

[gentlemand]

He's in the UK. He's still got time to move to Germany for a bit where he can sell his coins with no capital gains. He'd better get his skates on before Brits aren't allowed into Europe any more.

Don't worry fellas, you'll get your fun stories soon^TM.

I'm sure that when Bitcoin rallies again, you'll suddenly have all sorts of news stories come out of the woodwork about this person or that person who miraculously "found" an old hard drive with thousands of BTC on it, and they are now rich.  

Because the media always tells the truth, and never has a hidden agenda.

Even I agree with Torque sometimes.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

New week, same old price... $612 at Bitcoinaverage.

C'mon Bitcoin, it's October... time to start moving up.

Are you wishing for a 2013 revival? Do you remember?

Are you wishing for a 2013 revival? Do you remember?

Yes I remember quite well. I also remember October 2015. That was pretty good too.

Seems like spring (2011 and 2013) and autumn (2013 and 2016) are upsurge times.

The big thing is to not crash too badly afterward.

I recall the good ole days of May through June 2016, and those days were not too bad, either.
