This guy called the police on himself.
How?
In 2011, he found an illegal Silk Road store on the Darknet selling substances for crypto
The site had a personal account deposit, where bitcoins were stored
And to buy goods, you had to press the coveted "withdraw" button
During another purchase, Jimmy decided to withdraw all his bitcoins, but accidentally pressed the button TWICE
And OMG, his bitcoins doubled!
Let's try it again…
Several accounts, many clicks, and VOILA… 50,000 bitcoins worth $620,000 were in the account
The staggering sum went to pay for a luxurious life
Aeroplanes, yachts, club account closure
Finally, he had friends, and the price of bitcoin rose to $3.4 billion
BUT one day, part of the money was stolen from his house
He had to call the police, who were already looking for Jimmy
That’s how he got himself caught
