50 sats \ 4 replies \ @OT 9h \ on: Why does nobody believe the theft of 215 bitcoins from Luke Dashjr? bitcoin
Edit: link not working for me.
Luke is different, but I highly doubt he would call for help from the FBI if he had made it up. They are not dumb and they likely took all his devices and grilled him for days. Not many would pit themselves through this situation and even fewer would think they could fool them too.
Both scenarios are highly susceptible and dumb.
Scenario A: he really lost those BTC due to a hack.
Is really dumb to keep such an amount of BTC in an online computer, no matter how many security protections you took. Is not necessary, even if you use them for testing / developing stuff. You can use testnet or any other fake network for that.
Scenario B: he fake the whole thing as "I lost my BTC in a hack"....
Is also dumb to fake such thing in public. And for what? There are many ways to hide your stash, but going public with a fake story is dumb.
Let's not forget that after that "hack" he received more BTC from donations. I could be also a maneuver for getting them.

Agree, it makes no sense. In filthy fiat that is worth $21 million USD. Nevermind some hacker infiltrating his home network, what exactly was his plan for stopping a wrench attack? Once my modest holdings reached a certain size I racked my brain trying to figure out a way to store my seed phrase so securely that if anyone nasty ever came to visit I literally would not be a able to give them what they wanted. It took a while but I finally came up with a system I am happy with, or rather I could not find a better solution.
I find it so hard to believe that someone so high profile as Luke with such significant holdings was not thinking along similar lines.
It’s possible that he grew up in comfortable settings and his mind and thoughts never really went in that direction, I don’t know. It’s also possible he was so confident in his own technical abilities that he thought his system was unhackable. So, he’s either lying or very naive. In both cases, whatever else he says in the future I will take with an extremely large grain of salt, for he’s either dishonest or an extremely smart idiot.

Here you have an alternative, but in Spanish: https://web.archive.org/web/20241107160737/https://observatorioblockchain.com/ciberseguridad/por-que-nadie-se-cree-el-robo-de-215-bitcoins-a-luke-dashjr/
The article is interesting because it covers many other things. Many other episodes that help you know him better I guess.
