What happened to the 28,000 pieces of BTC lost by the leader of the mining circle?

The loss of BTC

So what was the cause?Let elder brother leek simply describe:

In 2009, the chef (coin owner) worked in a hotel in guangzhou and got to know the network management of the hotel.

The webmaster is a digital currency enthusiast.On one occasion, he borrowed $3,000 from a cook for financial reasons, and when he ran out of money to pay back the debt, he paid in bitcoins of equal value.

The cook got the wallet's private key, which contained 28,000 bitcoins. He didn't care about it at the time (bitcoin was cheap at that time), and then compressed it and saved it with a string of passwords.

The loss of BTC

Eight years later, in 2017, as the price of bitcoin skyrocketed, cook was reminded of his own existence.

Because the password was not properly kept before, and the past eight years have passed, the cook can not remember the password.So he started trying to crack the zip code to get the bitcoin in the file.

After attempt failed many times, found a good at cook crack password "Singapore senior hacker", in order to verify the hacker to crack his ability, to create a few zip file and use the random complex passwords, both crack by hackers, but the final package really cook did not send "hacker" in Singapore.

The incident was supposed to be over by now, but a recent study by the health and safety laboratory found that:

The event is most likely a hoax.

First suspect: since version 2.0, rar has used the AES encryption algorithm to encrypt files in blocks, so it is impossible to crack the so-called "Singapore hacker" technology.

The second doubt: the private key that the cook transcribes on the "recipe" is a compressed form of private key beginning with L, which only appeared in the BBS discussion and was applied in 2011.

According to leek elder brother every day to analyze the rational investment, only then has the rich possibility.
