Man Risks Losing $200 Million Bitcoin Fortune After Forgetting Password with Only 2 Attempts Remaining
-
Stefan Thomas was paid 7,002 Bitcoins in 2011 for an animated video, now worth over $200 million.
-
The Bitcoins are stored on a highly secure hard drive that allows only 10 password attempts before locking forever.
-
Thomas has forgotten the password and only has 2 attempts remaining before losing access to the fortune.
-
Groups of hackers have been trying to find ways to break into the hard drive and claim the Bitcoins.
-
One firm says they've found a solution to crack the hard drive, but Thomas has declined their help for now as he's working with other experts.
