just broke into a sbc from my old jag and found striations on the first main bearing I pulled.

Shit.

 English translation anyone?   

sbc = Small Block Chevy engine?

if so, they are a popular engine swap as you can build the snots out of them and there are more bolt on go fast parts than you can shake a stick at

main bearings support the crankshaft that the pistons connect to. crankshaft is what goes round and round and what the transmission and drivetrain hook to.

tldr; went to rebuild a non standard engine in the jag but there are damaged parts indicative of larger issues.

well maybe thats what it means

Seriously?  If someone writes something like "I remember my old 64k samsung 9560 gigaziljon computer from 85" the whole thread explodes with comments about that computer and all the mods that they did.
Someone tells you that the main bearing in their engine doesn't look good and you go

Take care out there!

I would wager most people here (or anywhere, these days) have never laid eyes on a main bearing (much less their hands).  I didn't know sbc was a popular Jag swap, but that's not my area.

Back in the 90's it was 20k to rebuild the v12 so it became pretty common.

"files within an online account [...] contained the private keys" LOL

I guess it's a good thing that criminals are idiots.

The most interesting thing to me here is confirmation that the feds are taking an interest in financial criminal activity the crypto/Bitcoin world.

[Hhampuz]

Why the fuck are they even staying in New York with 100k bitcoin, LOL, dumb doesn't even begin to explain it.. I doubt they were the masterminds behind this scheme.

More evidence the feds have their claws in Bitfinex.

Not to mention that presumably they kept their private keys unencrypted(?) and with no BIP39 passphrase (?) on some idiotic cloud server?
