Bitcoin Baddies

from Cheat! · host Sony Music Entertainment

In 2016, over 100,000 Bitcoin were stolen from customers using the cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex. The theft rattled the crypto world. At the time of the hack, Bitfinex was considered one of the most stable exchanges in the realm of virtual currency. And there wasn’t much that the company—or authorities—could do to retrieve the stolen coins. They sat in an anonymous wallet for years, accruing value. Millions turned into billions. Earlier this year, investigators got a lead. And they ended up at the doorstop of two very surprising suspects. A Somethin’ Else & Sony Music Entertainment production.
