A Bitcoin holder was recently socially engineered out of his holdings. How much were his holdings worth, you ask? How about more than the GDP of Tuvalu?


That’s right: according to seminal downfall documentarian “web3 is going just great,” a major Bitcoin holder was tricked by scammers who claimed to be customer support for a Bitcoin exchange. They were able to get access to his account and completely drain it, using a cryptocurrency mixer to ensure that the stolen Bitcoin couldn’t be traced.


If you’re this guy, it might be time to invest in, I don’t know, an index fund and give up playing around with internet money.
