Still wonder why the USA take so long to start the trial in a case that should be fully prepared years ago when Vinnik was first arrested in Greece.

@@georgewashington2930 Yeah I've only been commenting on videos from osrs creators for about 10 years on this account so clearly I have to be a bot. What a brainlet comment.
@@georgewashington2930 I was compelled to leave an encouraging comment because I love his work. The other comments look like mine. Why is it hard to believe a guy who puts out so many long form deep dive videos has a following?
Aliaksandr Klimenka (one of the other two guys) was arrested in Latvia on December 21, 2023 and made an appearance in a San Francisco federal court on February 2nd, 2024, the department said. He faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted on all counts of money laundering conspiracy and operation of an unlicensed money services business.
Keep us updated if you can please, thanks for the info. Unfortunately, in California who knows what will happen. He might just be let go with a pat on the butt. I mean hell, people arrested for murder are being let go without bail just to go out and reoffend. Hopefully they end up with a judge that actually cares about Justice.
I have never been remotely interested in cybercrime but following your recent videos has me intrigued! You do so well to explain a difficult to comprehend concept so concisely and interestingly. The level of detail is perfect and your voice is very soothing to listen to. Keep up the good work!
Good dude? He lost people's coins to the tune of $50k first time and falsified documents to keep exchange going basically having customers trade imaginary bitcoins when none where there. The he messed up again and again making the hole deeper and deeper finally stepping down when he turned first 50k screw-up into 500 million disaster. From there bitcoin went up like 200 times higher. At peak his screwup was worth like 100 billion lol. So he a good dude giving back 20% bitcoins left after losing 80% through incompetence and then fraud to cover his screwups? If he even tried keeping that money somone woulda put him 6 ft under. Only bright side to this is it took so long go through court's the 20% left is still probably more worth today than old customers woulda held out.
Relevant context on Japan's legendary conviction rate. 1. That figure refers to trials, and includes guilty pleas, which must still be taken to trial, and 2. more than anything it reflects the discretion of prosecutors to not try weak cases. Comparing like to like, the US federal conviction rate for cases where charges are brought to their conclusion is over 99.5%.
That 99.5% number is for federal cases. The feds dont charge you after the immediate onset of a crime. They let you buru yourself, and build a larger case not only for you but also your organization. Japan's rate is all levels of court

i was one of these 2000 people and even had code commits in the original Bitcoin QT wallet.. never in my wildest dreams did I think Bitcoin would actually make it, but i sure dreamed it would. I mined my first 50 bitcoins with a CPU, solo mining.
I bought 3 bitcoin when it was $7 each for buying bath salts online back in the day...never actually used them, and it kills me that I cannot for the life of me remember the account I made for them I can't even remember where the account was registered to...more money than I've ever had just sitting somewhere I'll probably never gain access to again. Sucks, because I sure could use it more than ever now....
Not a single one of the accounts in this thread has written more than one comment here besides myself. The the same goes for all the other comments on this video gushing about “Crumb.” It’s revolting, and it insults our intelligence.
Damn your docs deserve to be on top tier streaming services like netflix thats because how well theyre done. Just crazy to see this kind of content by youtuber. Even tho being youtuber and letting us enjoy these isnt a bad thing. I just mean i could confuse your videos to a discovery channel documents when it comes to overall execution. Bravo!

@@notsobigbelow7819 think of it this way. Had you NOT spent that BTC, there's no guarantee it would have ever gained the popularity is has now. I'm not gonna pretend one person's actions would've been a huge impact but also shouldn't pretend like the aggregate of everyone didn't contribute.
Wow this is an incredible story! I don't understand why Mark did not just agree to cash out the wallet or whatever the first option to pay everyone back as soon as possible.

I love these videos but God damn, hearing about early crypto is so sad. Just knowing that I knew about BTC when it was under a dollar but bought thousands of dollars of weed instead lol
Amazing documentary, seriously great work. One minor gripe though (and not specifically aimed at this video) is the perceived value of BTC, for example early on you say the stolen BTC had a value of $5B which is technically correct but since crypto is a speculative game that is simply not true. If the owner had dumped $5B worth of BTC onto the open market it would have caused a collapse of the price, literally every BTC placed on the market would have caused the price to fall making it a losing game, the more you sell the less you get back, sell too much and everything collapses leaving you with nothing. I watch a lot of crypto journalism (shout out Coffeezilla) and this is a truth that I never hear anyone raise, monopoly money only has value as long as its seen as a limited commodity, the more that's available on the market, the less its worth by default.
You're probably preaching to the choir with most of the viewers of this video. I doubt financially illiterate people enjoy an hour-long video on bitcoin hacks.
@@Zt3v3 it's how the value of everything works lol, not just BTC. u know like how everything else, including stocks and shares which we use to value rich people, goes up and down in value?
You could easily offload $5 Billion of a near 1 trillion dollar asset? will it take a while? yeah, twap selling/multiple OTC deals with various desks across the space. will price drop when you first move those coins/start to sell? yeah of course, but it's not going to be anything longterm. Someone managed to OTC $5 billion worth of a semi illiquid shitcoin ($SHIB, granted they probably got less than 40% of its value) you could easily offload billions of dollars worth of BTC and have the market absorb it over time
couldnt have ever cared about runsecape but the quality of your latest vids made me go watch all o0f those too. so good crumb keep it up i see you clearing a mil for subscribers no problem
As someone who only used BTC-e back in the day logging in one day and being greeted by an FBI logo and all crypto lost was a sad time. Its nice to see the background and understand what happened and why.
Not to mention that the MtGox trustees kept not only moving the goal post... they accepted and then forced everyone to redo the AML/KYC verification over and over as time passed most likely in hopes that people give up so they can keep more of the pie.
Amazing level of research, congrats this was epic!! And hats off to Mark for offering to give back the coins at their market value, if that indeed happens it will be quite a remarkable end to this story!
Love your videos as always and this turn of content into cybercrime specifically has turned out beautiful. I'm going to school for cyber security administration and I have used a handful of your videos as source in our weekly discussions. My professor says he loves your videos!
Well people like you are the reason why threat actors can use vulnerabilities everyday.Hacking means finding smart solutions to problems and while the enemy does that you would desperately take your school book and would be wondering why there is nothing written to help you xD
Crumb! Been watching you for your RuneScape vids for a long time now. The new content with these short docs on other internet topics is phenomenal man. Will be sticking around for a long time 👏
Great videos, really enjoying your content. You deserve many subscribers. A bit sad about that guy's situation too, ie. not being able to see his wife properly again, and his kids growing up without their parents.. Sad situation. At the same time, if it's true what he was accused of, that's a lot of cyber crime and theft...
He doesn’t get a real trial because these guys haven’t got enough prove. This trial will likely go on for years. And this is not right. He should get a legal chance to defend himself. He says he’s not guilty. They say he’s guilty. He should get a fair court trial. But the system is just corrupt.
My uncle gave me a Bitcoin in 2013 cuz i was travelling Europe. Iit was worth $150. I was annoyed because I couldnt easily convert it to money. then my cellphone was pickpocketed in a moshpit. Edit- My point is that I had no idea the value of it, and was annoyed I couldnt use it lol
What is the point of your statement. Your lost bitcoin gifted from your uncle and how you lost it while traveling Europe sounds a bit posh. I'm sure it hurt to lose but again how does your lost bit coin while mosh pitting in Europe relate. It sounds like you just want to recognize your voice has been heard. Well pointless or not it's been heard. Since you've been heard this round can you please keep comments that only relate to you to yourself. Get some real life humans to interact with and be heard by someone who is capable of giving you what you need.
I'm impressed with the thoroughness and professionalism exhibited by financial Source . above, particularly their depth of know ledge, focus, integrity,
Absolutely loving your content. May I recommend, when you are moving on to the next subject, maybe leave an extra second or so between the end of 1 subject and the beginning of a new one? As at first I found i didn’t realise straight away we were moving on! Apart from that, everything else is great! :)
Moral of the story is that these guys who are running around stealing would have made a great deal more money, kept a great deal of more of the most valuable resource (time), and not missed the peace of a decent life with their families if had they just done good business instead of trying to fuck everyone over. Cheaters never truly win. Winners never cheat. Don't steal a dime when you can *earn* a dollar. Shame on these fuckheads.

You could easily offload $5 Billion of a near 1 trillion dollar asset? will it take a while? yeah, twap selling/multiple OTC deals with various desks across the space. will price drop when you first move those coins/start to sell? yeah of course, but it's not going to be anything longterm. Someone managed to OTC $5 billion worth of a semi illiquid shitcoin ($SHIB, granted they probably got less than 40% of its value) you could easily offload billions of dollars worth of BTC and have the market absorb it over time
Brilliant reporting!
Mark not coming in on the weekend. A true french.
couldnt have ever cared about runsecape but the quality of your latest vids made me go watch all o0f those too. so good crumb keep it up i see you clearing a mil for subscribers no problem
:) you're the best
Wild story! I always love the Bitcoin topics. I can't wait until they make these movies.
I knew I recognized you. Ty for the RuneScape and all the cool videos
I don't know how you can steal $50 billion, and then cry about your case.
this is the best documentary I've ever seen in my life
As someone who only used BTC-e back in the day logging in one day and being greeted by an FBI logo and all crypto lost was a sad time. Its nice to see the background and understand what happened and why.
When the FBI took over the site did all users permanently lose their balances?!
Not to mention that the MtGox trustees kept not only moving the goal post... they accepted and then forced everyone to redo the AML/KYC verification over and over as time passed most likely in hopes that people give up so they can keep more of the pie.
Amazing level of research, congrats this was epic!! And hats off to Mark for offering to give back the coins at their market value, if that indeed happens it will be quite a remarkable end to this story!
Mark had quite the redemption arc
man i love when crumb posts
Love your videos as always and this turn of content into cybercrime specifically has turned out beautiful. I'm going to school for cyber security administration and I have used a handful of your videos as source in our weekly discussions. My professor says he loves your videos!
Well people like you are the reason why threat actors can use vulnerabilities everyday.Hacking means finding smart solutions to problems and while the enemy does that you would desperately take your school book and would be wondering why there is nothing written to help you xD
Great Documentary! Well Done. Could not take my eyes off it from beginning to end.
Crumb! Been watching you for your RuneScape vids for a long time now. The new content with these short docs on other internet topics is phenomenal man. Will be sticking around for a long time 👏
Love you big man
@@Crumb Love u 2 man, hope life is good ❤️
Great videos, really enjoying your content. You deserve many subscribers. A bit sad about that guy's situation too, ie. not being able to see his wife properly again, and his kids growing up without their parents.. Sad situation. At the same time, if it's true what he was accused of, that's a lot of cyber crime and theft...
These videos are so good. i love these please never stop
Mental outlaw cameo
Damn those sell orders at 11:25 are absolute SNIPES
he should be let out of jail
Noooo
He doesn’t get a real trial because these guys haven’t got enough prove. This trial will likely go on for years. And this is not right. He should get a legal chance to defend himself. He says he’s not guilty. They say he’s guilty. He should get a fair court trial. But the system is just corrupt.
Always good when this guy uploads
See you again in 6 months king :)
My uncle gave me a Bitcoin in 2013 cuz i was travelling Europe. Iit was worth $150. I was annoyed because I couldnt easily convert it to money. then my cellphone was pickpocketed in a moshpit.
Edit- My point is that I had no idea the value of it, and was annoyed I couldnt use it lol
Well sir you are a dingleberry
My dad bought 650 Bitcoin when they were 5 cents. Sold them at 18.5k 😊

What is the point of your statement. Your lost bitcoin gifted from your uncle and how you lost it while traveling Europe sounds a bit posh. I'm sure it hurt to lose but again how does your lost bit coin while mosh pitting in Europe relate. It sounds like you just want to recognize your voice has been heard. Well pointless or not it's been heard. Since you've been heard this round can you please keep comments that only relate to you to yourself. Get some real life humans to interact with and be heard by someone who is capable of giving you what you need.
@@Average_Ohio_Citizen_my uncles dads friends cousin had that too
The best video format, thank you for the work you put into these. So enjoyable!
6 cents?? fml
Right, 66000 now from 6 cents

Dude u do such a good job with these documentaries! Keep giving us more!
the cia doesnt like when you do what the us government does
Huge thanks for breaking this down so well. I’ve been inspired to put out content like this on my channel too.
Inspiring! Do you think you can give me some advice on how to recover my stolen btc
Are you ready to solved right away ?? I have an expert for it.
I'm impressed with the thoroughness and professionalism exhibited by financial Source . above, particularly their depth of know ledge, focus, integrity,
Financial source is the solution to all surrounding lost social btc
It’s great to see how unique Financial source contributed to the outcome. The role he play on recovering my lost coin
Recovering lost btc in general seems like a mole to Finacial .source
Absolutely loving your content. May I recommend, when you are moving on to the next subject, maybe leave an extra second or so between the end of 1 subject and the beginning of a new one? As at first I found i didn’t realise straight away we were moving on! Apart from that, everything else is great! :)
First
Great job on your research and reporting. Love the work. Thank you. 👍
Moral of the story is that these guys who are running around stealing would have made a great deal more money, kept a great deal of more of the most valuable resource (time), and not missed the peace of a decent life with their families if had they just done good business instead of trying to fuck everyone over.
Cheaters never truly win. Winners never cheat. Don't steal a dime when you can *earn* a dollar. Shame on these fuckheads.
It’s a great day when Crumb uploads
Pls keep making these hacking stories i really enjoy them pls dont stop. W crumbs ❤
Everytime you post a new video I am waiting for a new one and if I dont have anything to do i just rewatch the same one 3 times
