Man loses $60M in Bitcoin when landlord cleaned the house and sent everything to the dump by mistake

Clifton Collins, a former security guard and a beekeeper turned weed grower/dealer, lost $60 million when his landlord cleaned out the house he’d been renting and sent everything to the dump — including Collin’s fishing rod case that hid his Bitcoin codes. Without the codes, the accounts can’t be accessed.

He had both BTCitcoin and Drugs. All wasted now
Lesson learned: Own a f**king room atleast when you have shit load of money and keep your codes safely.

He was stupid, and deserved it.

He ended up with over 6000 BTC. Why continue to deal drugs? He was already set for life. But he was greedy. And stupid.

All the better for us. Price will appreciate slightly, due to his stupidity. Thanks Clifton.

WHICH DUMP?? Asking for a friend.

Just imagine finding a USB stick on the street, all crushed by passing cars, and taking it home, repairing it, and discovering that it contained the private key to thousands of BTC. Wet dream?

Has happened to me once (sans the BTC). Found the remains of a USB stick on the street (only the PCB had remained, and badly damaged). I tried to repair it, but couldn't. Could it have contained Satoshi's coins? No one will ever know.

I'm paranoid like that...

Keep your fishing rod cases on a boat, not in your room.
Protect yourself from unfortunate landlord accidents.

And fall foul to the infamous boating accident?

With 6000BTC he should have been living in a mansion with a fire proof panic room & his keys in there.

Almost certainly has a backup. He never challenged the seize order and seemed to be in good spirits saying more or less crime doesn't pay and the seizure was justified.
He acquired most of the btc back in 2012/13. I believe he was also arrested well before the ATH. Either way though, he was stupid moving weed in the back of his car and having a grow-house.
He split the 6000btc into 12 500btc wallets which haven't been touched since 2017 so it should be easy enough to find them. I suspect a plane ride when he gets out of jail.

"China Discusses: On Creating Bioweapons (2018)"

"If we use gene editing and transform these bacteria and viruses then we will be able to produce a more widespread and lethal supervirus or superbug. Then for this supervirus or superbug its killing capacity is similar to atomic and hydrogen bombs. Its comparable to chemical weapons so its very dangerous."


Government trust is being eroded as Coronavirus spreads more and more and govs downplay the implications and drag their feet on testing and forced isolation. The U.S. CDC has only bothered to test about 400 people. 

When the Stock Boyz start to pile onto Bitcoin there wont be enough left for them to buy and miners will soon have half as many coins to sell to Stock Boyz and everyone else.

This Coronavirus is one of the most bullish things to ever happen to Bitcoin besides a Halvening. Now they are happening in the same short term time frame right in the early stages of Bull Season.

76 days till the Halvening and all is well.

But but ... where da 9.8 a corn at?

76 days till the Halvening and all is well.  

yes, but at the moment BTC is a bit lacking behind to Gold as an asset class for crisis situations IMO. the reason is a bit unclear to me. is it because of the early stage of that asset class for Institutionals or is it because of manipulation in a low volume market before the halving because everybody hold his bitcoins back to speculate for higher prices after the halving? this confuses me a bit. just saying.

Distrust in bank, why would they 

[Lambie Slayer]

9800 retaken, 10k coming soon. Time to piss your pants Bears bc giant green dildos are coming after we hit new all year highs.

 

He's all bluster and no muster that boy.

Just make sure you close those shorts before its too late.

solution is to eat the private keys and keep it inside as long you are out and afterwards shit it out to get it back.  



discussion is from the German WO thread some weeks ago.

Halving + Corona-Virus + Wirtschaftskrise = BTC Rakete

Auf den Corona-Virus kann ich gerne verzichten.

Ein dramatischer Verlauf beim Corona-Virus könnte den Bitcoin in ungeahnte höhen schiessen lassen. Und zwar ganz, ganz schnelle; weil mit Bitcoin Vermögenswerte ausser Landes gebracht werden können. Ein auswendig gelernter Private-Key kann nicht konfisziert oder gestohlen werden.

neue idee die ich gerade hab: edelstahlkapseln zum verschlucken für die aufbewahrung von seeds und dann am neuen aufenthaltsort einfach auss******en?

Geniale idee aber...
leider zu Spät

Cryptosteel Capsule ist zu lang zum verschlucken. ich hatte eher an so was gedacht. mit viel öl...

Superstition and tradition. Bitcoin has to be much better than gold before it reaches some kind of parity. Which it is, but most people still don't know that.

Yeah, that didn't age very well.

Its aging just fine, check the charts if your confused. I said "soon" and we hit 10k a few hours later. I said giant green dildos after we hit all year highs.

The tiny amount of time since my post has not proven anything I said to be incorrect.

Off-topic, but what a guy, what will he do in jail?? 

[LFC_Bitcoin]

One of the women who testified in court said he ‘raped’ her in his apartment. She then went on to have consensual sexual relations with him for years after the act?

 

My opinion is that he probably is a pervert but I guarantee lots of these women fucked him because they thought it’d help their careers. They then come out years later & cry rape?



I think he’ll do near the minimum of the 5 to 25 years in jail that they’re reporting.

[Lambie Slayer]

Now how TF did the dow drop 1k points, and gold pump, on the news of the china virus spreading outside of china, but bitcoin is still kinda down?
Dow dumps, gold pumps, no real effect on bitcoin?

So much for ncov giving btc a pump..

We have been pumping since it became global news that an unknown severe viral outbreak was happening in Wuhan. On December 31 we had been mostly sideways for weeks and we were at about 7200usd and its been mostly pumping since.

Gold didn't respond much early on to the Coronavirus outbreak, it took them a while to join the party. Only in the past 7 days have they been really pumping. Stocks kept pumping for a bit bc govs started ramping up money printing to respond to the viral threats to their precious stock markets. Now they are seeing that the money printing may not be enough.

Bitcoiners are more in touch with whats really going on so we beat gold bugs to the party. Seems about right.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/06/health/wuhan-coronavirus-timeline-fast-facts/index.html

"December 31, 2019 - Cases of pneumonia detected in Wuhan, China, are first reported to the WHO. During this reported period, the virus is unknown. The cases occur between December 12 and December 29, according to Wuhan Municipal Health.

January 1, 2020 - Chinese health authorities close the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market after it is discovered that wild animals sold there may be the source of the virus.

January 5, 2020 - China announces that the unknown pneumonia cases in Wuhan are not SARS or MERS. In a statement, the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission says a retrospective probe into the outbreak has been initiated."

Could do with some Nazi/Jew shit to break the boredom, just for lulz.

The guy is a scumbag, but the girls sending him to prison are worse imo.

Yeah, he had dozens of accusers and every single one of them sent him nothing but flirty and loving emails and texts consistently for days, months, and sometimes years after the alleged rapes. Either this guy has magical hypnotic powers or these women are all full of shit. Not one said a bad word to him in the emails or texts, most of them admit to having consensual sex with him on many occasions.

The new definition of rape seems to be "I willingly smashed him to further my career and get money, but since I found him physically disgusting during the act its ok to call it rape a few years later so i can sue him and get a book deal."

I wonder what Roach thinks about this one, bc you have women actually acting how he likes to describe them in this instance, but the victim is a rich Jewish douchebag. He must love this one.

My explanation: Human nature.
Everything that is not considered or established as solid and secure in times of FUD is likely to drop.
And we all know the history and historic value of gold. 1+1=1
The biggest influences of human decisions are emotions and habits (i think there is a statement from Einstein or Freud that also highlights this).
