Episode Details

A 15-year-sleeping Bitcoin address just woke up and moved $1.9 million—just as a New York lawsuit seeks to claim ownership of nearly 40,000 dormant crypto wallets. This isn’t just a crypto anomaly; it’s a legal flashpoint. The case hinges on whether inactivity equals abandonment, and whether digital wallets can even be legally seized. With more dormant addresses recently activating—31 moved $17K in June alone—lawyers are arguing that copying wallet addresses doesn’t make them “found” property. The real question: without private keys, can anyone truly claim these forgotten coins?
