Good thing THEY were buying gold and NFT's and NOT rare coins!

At least the victims will see a nice profit when their bitcoin gets returned. Maybe some of them were prevented from selling early… they OWE the criminals!
obviously a lot of different directions the commentary can go but i guess my meager contribution is; amazing the bitcoin were not all spent in that time and that there is enough digital uniqueness that isn't "modifiable" so that original tokens can be tracked and later recovered/seized.
the crypto/nft space and whatever spawns from them, will give our government plenty to keep them busy for many many decades to come.
It is interesting that this crypto currency - a fairly new concept to begin with - quickly found it's way into criminal ventures, and equally interesting is that our law enforcement function is capable of finding and stopping such efforts. Cheers, RickO
A whole lot easier getting back stolen Bitcoin than any other type.
If they bought rare coins, it wold have been a less impressive dollar figure, not in the billions!
That news was an eye opener for sure
As an old guy who is comfortable with more conventional investments, other than coins, tokens and medals, I feel like the rabbi from "Fiddler on the Roof" felt about the Tsar of Russia.

The blockchain technology is open sourced and once a transaction is entered, cannot be altered. This is a good thing. However, combining this with bitcoin, where the accounts are set up so that hackers can steal it, make people think twice about using the technology.
