I have found a wallet with 40 BTC

[ReLieD]

Hi,
i have found a wallet with 40 BTC.
The last transaction was 2011.
Can i take the money?
Or is it not legal?
Please Help!

Best Regards!

You found the keys to a car. Can you take the car? Is it legal?

Don't be an idiot.  The money is yours.  It is not illegal to transfer bitcoin if you have the key to do it.  Having the key means it is your bitcoin.  Take it and transfer it to another address before another key holder does that. 

Not really, what i would do is to donate 39 BTC to people who needs it. Like donating to projects everyone use, but no one donates to, like UNOMP, BCOIN, and many others. I would keep 1 BTC as a reward for fair distributing the funds.
But the question is, how did you found a private key in a forum, with 40BTC in the wallet ? normally as it is existing since 2011, it should have been aleready emptied.

Do you really think he would donate 39 btc and would give 1 btc to you.
As said please use this forum to help people with mature solutions.
The solution given by you sounds completely fake as if you are trying to show your image as a helpful person or so.
Please, act like grown ups and reply in a sensible manner.
And when it comes to using them , you can use them as it's the owners responsibility to keep his / her wallet safe.

If you are talking about that leaked PDF wallets in Jan

I cannot find anything about this. What is it about? Do you have a link?

YOu are super lucky dude. I can not imagine how lucky you can be. With 40 bitcoin, you can do whatever you want and buy whatever you like. Perhaps you should spend half of your 40-Bitcoin into some charity activities. They will be more effective than spend all of your Bitcoin in one place

if you really fount that account then you are really luck but still its not your, i think you should return it to the address from where you fond it because some one many have world hard for it to earn and how can take another person money so easily. i thin you should return it back to his address and hoe that you will get more some some legal source.

LOL, you find a wallet with over 40 000$ and ask if it is "legal". Are you kinding ? If you were saying the truth, you wouldn't come in a forum to ask such question...
If this happen to me, I don't say anything to someone, and i would empty the wallet direct, no questions asked

Yes, it's online even now but I suspect the BTC must be withdrawn from all of those PDF paper wallets. Someone posted it on two forums and later posts were deleted from both forums but still, it is online on the third site.  There is a link of a zip file and a password, but it's better to stay away if we want to avoid the complications.

P.S - Please don't PM me asking for the link, Google it. I don't want to mess with forum rules either.

He has got the private key in his hands what's more to do. It is same that he holding the bitcoin. He is lucky to get such a big number of bitcoin when the price is increasing and found above $1200.

This should be the first thing you see when you log into the site.
Just a big warning right in the middle of the screen so you don't miss it.

Did anyone just get logged out of the site just now?
I think their still probing the hacking attempt on all cloudflare endorsed sites.

You found a money in the streets do you take it or other will take it? Of course take it don't be dumb to loss the opportunity unless you hack it. If I were you I will take the bitcoin because I am not a hero I am just an ordinary person be a practical. Just take it and leave you Don't steal it you earn it because you discover it. If you will not take it the others can so be practical nothing is wrong with that it's just like you found a money at the ground that is no one owns because many people pass by but you are the only one who see it. So take it because you see it.

where do you find it? if no one claims it all yours, try to donate some part of it in church or on foundation. Try to give me some too kidding, it is very big pleasure, a blessing coming from unknown, you should gave others what you have or what you get for free. share your blessings to the less fortunate not because you have plenty its because you know what they feels.

Are you trying to say that you got the privet keys to the wallet? Then, you are lucky and you can enjoy the bitcoins. I feel sad for the real owner. But if you are a honest man, you shouldn't be taking it. It is your call. Perhaps you should share the amount to charity if you are going to empty that wallet. Your call mate!

Yes you can take that, its a long time ago since the last transaction. But use it in a good way. Help others, share your blessings to everyone. Be good to others. Share what you've got for free. And then blessings will come right away you will be more blessed if you share it and help others.

A private key forgotten 6 years on a public forum and nobody took it?

This story is so BS I can't believe he's even posting

[dinofelis]

Ah, you found it.  Years ago, I lost exactly a wallet like that in a forum.  I have been looking for ages to where I left it.  Thanks, it must be mine.  You can PM it to me
