A Single Man Nearly Erased Bitcoin
The largest HACK in cryptocurrency history isn’t the one you think...
In 2014, one man nearly erased Bitcoin. No, it wasn’t Satoshi Nakamoto, but a computer genius who orchestrated the theft of 850,000 bitcoins from Mt. Gox, the largest exchange platform of the time.
How did he manage to hack Mt. Gox? Why did no one see it coming? And most importantly… where did the stolen bitcoins go?
From Tokyo to Greece, through Russia, dive into the behind-the-scenes of this gripping investigation that involved the FBI, the IRS, and top blockchain forensic experts. Discover how a simple "bug" turned into an international affair implicating Mark Karpelès, Alexander Vinnik, and billions of dollars in vanished bitcoins.
